How to do your own pedicure at home
The steps of your pedicure are very important as this will ensure your nails and feet are cleaned thoroughly while still feeling like you are pampering yourself. It is very important to try to relax when you are doing your home "pedicure". Put on your favorite music, gather everything you need and enjoy:

1. Put warm water in your plastic wash bowl so you can soak your feet in. This will allow the skin to soften and make the dead skin removal a much easier process. Soak your feet in the water for about 5 minutes or more if it is necessary.
2. Take the nail clipper and clip your nails. Try not to cut your nails too short to avoid cutting into your skin and to avoid developing ingrown nails.
3. Use the cuticle pusher or remover to shape your cuticles as they can give a very neglected aspect to your nails.
4. Place your feet back in water and use the nail brush to clean around your nail. This will remove any dead skin cells around and under your nails, leaving them clean.
5. Take your feet out of the water and using the pumice stone rub your calluses. Your calluses are more prone to developing dead skin which will harden and with time might develop cracks. Using the pumice stone on a regular basis can prevent this from happening, allowing the skin to remain soft.
6. Use the foot scrub to give yourself a nice relaxing massage while cleansing your feet. Foot scrubs will refresh your skin and promote skin cell regeneration as it helps remove any dead skin cells.
7. Rinse your feet and dry them off completely using a clean towel. This will allow you to apply the foot cream uniformly. The foot cream will ensure your skin remains soft and moisturized.
8. Apply a bit of nail polish remover on a cotton pad to remove any traces of foot cream off your nails. This will allow you to apply your nail polish properly and uniformly. Wait for your nails to dry and apply the nail polish in the desired shape. You can try different nail art designs for a more interesting look. Allow the nail polish to dry completely before putting on your shoes.

Doing your own pedicure will help you save money spent at a "nail salon" and still allow your feet and "nails" to look well cared for. Keep in mind the the aspect of your nails is very important, as you can see the transformation created after just one "pedicure" session. good try ...".
