How to do a pedicure at home
Here are a few tips to help you get the perfect pedicure:
1. Start by clipping and filing your nails. You’ll want to file them into a shape that you like, and that flatters your hands and feet.
2. Next, push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher.
3. Use a pumice stone to exfoliate your feet, paying special attention to the heels and soles of your feet.
4. Soak your feet in a foot soak solution for 10-15 minutes to soften your skin.
5. Scrub your feet with a foot scrub to remove any dead skin cells.
6. Apply a nail polish of your choice, and then finish with a top coat.
That’s all there is to it!

How To Remove Nail Polish
Before you start on your at home pedicure, you may need to remove any old nail polish. Here are a few tips on how to do so:
1. Soak a cotton ball in acetone-free nail polish remover and press it onto your nail for a few seconds.
2. Gently rub the cotton ball back and forth to remove the polish.
3. Repeat this process until all of the polish has been removed.
4. Wash your hands with soap and water to remove any residue from the nail polish remover.
Be careful to not over-soak your nails in nail polish remover, as this can dry out your nails.
How often should you do a pedicure?
The frequency of pedicures depends on how quickly your nails and feet grow. Generally, it is recommended to get a pedicure every 2-4 weeks. However, if you are someone who tends to get pedicures more often, you may be able to stretch this out to every 6 weeks.
What is Cuticle Oil used for?
Cuticle oil is used to moisturize the cuticles and nails. It can be applied before or after a pedicure, and can help to keep your nails and cuticles healthy.
Cuticle oil is typically made of natural ingredients such as jojoba oil, almond oil, or vitamin E oil.
