clipper
- Cuticle
remover
- Moisturizer
or foot cream
- tub
or basin
- pumice
stone or foot file

Remove any previously applied nail polish:
Start by removing your old, chipped nail polish
with polish remover and pads or cotton balls. You can choose an acetone-free polish remover
if you have a light shade or an acetone remover for darker shades. An acetone
based nail polish remover is a bit harsher than non acetone removers, but the
acetone removers get the job done faster. Non-acetone products require a little
more elbow grease, but they're less damaging to your nails and leave your
cuticles feeling less dry and stiff.
Shape your nails:
Clip your nails straight across to the length you
prefer then file nails in one direction. A slightly rounded nail shape or
square-rounded edge is generally the best way to go. If your nails are a lot
longer than trim them with nail clippers before you start shaping them.
Soak your feet:
Fill a tub or basin with warm water and add Epsom
salt or any essential salts of your choice. Sit back and Soak your legs for 10
minutes. Hot water will soften tough calluses and remove the dirt. It will also
help to soften your nails and cuticles.
Take care of cuticles:
Apply cuticle remover to cuticles to cut away the
thickened skin around the nail. Very gently push back your cuticles from the
nail with a cuticle pushing tool. Be careful to remove the skin only on top of
the nails and don’t touch the toe flesh.
Scrub your feet:
Use your pumice stone or foot file to scrub down
the calluses on the heel and ball of your foot slough way the dead skin. Scrub
the balls, bottoms and sides of your heels and around the toes.
You can find basic foot file or pumice stone from
any drug store.
Moisturize:
Wash your feet once
finished scrubbing and dry them thoroughly. Apply moisturizer or foot cream and
massage the feet and calves.
Polish your nails:
Apply a thin base coat to all 10 fingers. A base
coat protects your nails from the polish and protects nails from staining and
prevents chipping. Apply your color polish in layers, allowing each layer to
dry before proceeding to the next. Apply two coats of color polish, followed by
a top coat to add shine. Clean up any errors with a polish remover.
