You
don't need to shell out your hard-earned cash just to get the perfect pedicure.
Everything you need to get perfect peds can be done right from your own
home. Plus, knowing how to paint your toes and get your feet all pretty
helps a lot especially when it is part of
your job to show them off. On that note, here are
some tips on getting the perfect pedicure.
Do Some
Prep Work
Not
everyone – not even those with a foot fetish – may find hairy toes
appealing. So if you've got some hairy toes, make sure they are hair free by
using depilatory cream to rid of them. This method is much better than
tweezing and waxing, and let's face it, less excruciating. Plus, they happen to
be longer lasting too.
Next,
prepare a foot bath to soften tough heels. Use a sea salt soak and add a pinch
of liquid dish soap to remove dirt and make cuticles more pliable. Soak your
feet for about twenty minutes. Without removing your other foot, pat one dry
and rid of calluses using an emery board or pumice stone.
In case
you have any blisters, corns or bunions, avoid infection by not exfoliating
them. Also, for your safety, don't use anything abrasive on your foot like a
metal tool.
Once
your done with one foot, soak this into a clean bath then start working on your
other foot. After your feet have been soaked, dab a cotton ball with some
hydrogen peroxide and apply them to any blisters on your feet.
File
Away
Make
sure your feet are dry then apply cuticle oil to the base of the nail. If you
want a more natural and easy to reach alternative, try some olive oil as a
substitute. Work on pushing back cuticles with an orangewood stick. Also, only
cut cuticles with a cuticle trimmer when they look like they're about to tear
the skin.
Use an
emery board to file away, making sure nails get as short as possible but don't
cause discomfort either. Make sure the shape of the nail remains square. Only
use clippers when the nails are really long because brittle nails will split
with unnecessary cutting.
Paint
Properly
Whether working
at a foot bordello or as a webcam model, how
your nail looks matters, especially the shade of paint you're going to use. To
make the paint last longer, make sure to apply cuticle oil to the base of your
nails each night. Doing so will help pedicures last for two weeks.
Using
the right basecoat will also prevent a lot of nail pigmentation and texture
problems. To get it right, apply two coats of your color of choice before
finishing it off with a topcoat, preferably with UV filters to prevent fading.
Allow two minutes between each step for streak-free application and faster
drying.
To
lessen smudging, apply polish first on the foot that is opposite your dominant
hand before moving to the other. In case mistakes do happen, fix them with a
corrector pen then scrape the excess away in the shower when the lacquer has
dried.
Pick the
Right Color
While
the paint on your fingers and toes don't necessarily need to match, it helps to
that the shades be somewhat complementary. For example, if you choose neon
purple for your toes, try something more lighter like lavender for your
fingers.
With
these tips, you get not just beautiful nails but also gorgeous feet that you
can freely show off in those strappy heels or sandals. The steps here help you
achieve stunning feet for showing off just about anywhere.
