Do-It-Yourself Pedicure!
It's summer sandal season, so time to spruce up your little piggies! Grab a friend and try this at-home pedicure because who doesn’t love having pretty toes?
What You’ll Need:
Nail Polish Remover
Cotton Balls
Toenail Clippers
Nail File
Towel
Lotion
Nail Polish
Toe Separators (optional)
Steps:
1. Remove any polish already on your toes with a cotton ball dipped in nail polish remover.
2. Trim toenails with clippers and then file them down to the exact length you want. Be careful not to cut them too short!
3. Soak your feet in warm water for ten minutes. You can add your favorite scented oils for extra relaxation, or add sea salts and give them a quick scrub!
4. Dry your feet off really well with a towel and then apply lotion all over feet and calves. If you’re with a friend, take turns giving each other a relaxing foot massage.
5. Put toe separators in (if you have them…they aren’t necessary) and then paint your toenails the color of your choice.
6. Apply a clear topcoat once nail polish is dry for extra shine that will look like you just came from the nail salon!

I luv pedicures
I luv pedicures they are so relaxing and fun espically when you do it with a friend who likes doing this. I’m planning on having a spa party with two of my friends.Please HELP
So I use a really good nail polish brand on both my fingers and toes, and when I put it on my fingers, WITH a protective top coat, I always bump into things and it scratches my nails, making them chip a lot at the tips.When I put it on my toes WITHOUT the top coat, it last longer, and this is flip-flop season, so my toes are always exposed. What do I do? My toenails look bad without nail polish. -GermanShepherdPup13Get Sally Hanson’s
Get Sally Hanson’s All-in-One!It has any color with a top coat, base coat and a fast dryer all in one!OPI
i trust the opi brand with a clear coat. hope this helps!Just Nails?
People say nails are important but are they? Well research:No! They are just nails what is the BIG deal! Who cares if they are on your toes NO one will see them unless, you wear flip flops or sandles WHY are they so important!How it WORKS!
Well to me and my friends GREAT! We did it and it works awesome so I would do it everyday if I could!Nails ROCK
I love it I am trying it! Hopefully it will look as awesome as it will feel! Well BYE!COOL! What else do you have
COOL! What else do you have to say?My Do it at home manicure!
You will need: finger nail polish any color,white finger nail polish, a bowl full of warm water, cunicul remover, file,and cute nail stickers. 1. Soak your fingers in the warm water for 10 to 15 minutes or until cunicul skin is soft. 2. Remove cunicul the reason you soak your hands in warm water is so the cunicul reamoves easier and doesn’t hurt as much. 3. paint nails with any color. Let dry for 5 to 7 minutes. Then paint the tips of your nail white try for a curvy line like your natrul one.4 the file your nails until you get them the shape you want. 5. add a beautiful flower sticker 6. admire your newly painted nails.=)
Watch videos on youtube to learn how to paint designs on your nail. They show how give yourself a manicure. i personally think “Juicystar07” does the best french manicire. She also gives great hair tutorials,manicure tips,and makeup tutorials.ok
well do it really matters if you have nail polish on your toe nails or does it? This is just a ordinary qustion.Finger nails show off more in
Finger nails show off more in the winter and Toe nail polish is better for the summer and spring. ( you show off your toes)ya i know....
yeah its reallyyy easyya i know
i know it is really easyDoes it work?
Does it work, who tried it?It Worked!I try it all the
It Worked!I try it all the time now!Yup
I tried it, and I used sea salts while I soaked my feet. It works really well. TIP!!! You want to wait a while until you paint your toenails. What happened to me was that they were still wet when I tried to paint them, even after I dried them off really well.Me
MeI do these all the time!
I do at-home pedicures all the time with my sister! I love it! We massage eachother’s feet and it feels so good! I could have one every day! Why go spend tons of money on a professional pedicure when you can do a better one at home? Well ok, maybe not better. :-)Not only is it Expencive,but it also is Dangerous
agree with ya! I mean at the salon it’s so stinky there cause of chemicals from hair products,masks,nail polishes and removers,besides people might get infected when their nails are getting cleaned because maybe the previous customer who was cleaned with the nail tools was sick with Aids or something and the tools don’t get sterilized that’s why I do spa at home;)my nail obsession
i have almost 100 diff nail polisha they very from diff brands mostly sally hanson and claries but i love sally hanson but plz dont use the insta dry i think it sucks cuz all of mine r way 2 thick even when i aply thiner to them ps i buy nail art pens and brushs from wall mart target claires and rue 21 just for u who where wonderin where 2 get themNail Polish
Ya, I hate Insta-Dry. The brushes are super big, and my yellow polish doesn’t go on smoothly; it leaves a lot of empty spaces. I recommend Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear. I personally hate OPI, due to its really large brushes and it fades easily. For a base coat, I also recommend Sally Hansen’s Hard As Wraps. I love doing my nails!Insta-Dry
I like the brushes of the Sally Hanson Insta-Dry, and the color choices, I just don’t like that it ends up looking really grainy. #19, Wined Up, is a great color. But I’m pretty sure it might be discontinued. :(…nail polish
i really like the sally hd nail polish because they make your nails look really bright especially the blue one. i really dont like claires nail polish because it always came off of my nails right away even if i let the nail polish dry long enough.Me 2!
I tried some but it all peeled straight off! I put base coat and top coat!did thhis turn out well???
did this turn out well….???? anyone do this yet?i love getting make overs and
i love getting make overs and doing my nails and girly stuff like that…. but my bff doesnt. i alsways wan to do fun stuff like that and face masks when we have sleepovers… but then again i dont becuase she will be like, “og, this is so boring.”…. so what do i do?How can SPA be Boring?
I know how you feel ,I used to have bossy friends too,I guess you can just do the Spa with out her if she thinks it’s “So Boring” how can She think it’s boring if she’s a girl? I Love doing Spa at home it’s so FUN!dear sofia.bella
I agree with starburst123, but what ever you do don’t forget about that friend of yours who doesn’t like to do nails. If you think about it it is kinda Girly your friend probably isn’t a Girlygirl.dear sofia.bella
maybe u should find some other friends to do makeovers and nails with. you can keep hanging out with your bff by finding things to do that u both like.Seperators
Seperators are too expensive! So I roll up strips of a paper towel and put them in betweeen my toes.well at burlington coat
well at burlington coat factory u get it REALLY cheap.thats where mi mom let me get mi seperators and they have a whole set that comes with it.its AWESOME i love doingmi nails!!!!!!im a girlygirli really want to try this
i really want to try thisDo It Yourself Pedicure
I cant wait till my next sleepover to try this. form all the commets it looks like it will work!Do your own glitter toes!
Things you need: Clear nail polish glitter (any color you would like) plastic bowl (one you wont mind getting DISTROYED BY GLITTER) feet Hands newspaper ——————————————————————————————————————————————————-step one: mix together some glitter (not all of it) and clear nail polish into the bowl, and paint on you toes. put news paper under your toes ——————————————————————————————————————————————————-right after you put on the nail polish, sprinkle a tiny bit of glitter on your toe and then blow lightly to get the excess glitter off. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————-wait 10 minutes and then apply a layer of clear polish too your toes. repeat that proccess 2 times ——————————————————————————————————————————————————-this gives you the look of a 20 dollar pedicure (or manucire) for the cost of nothing! Reply and tell me how it went!Does anyone know where is
Does anyone know where is Nail polish glitter sold?glitter and nail polish

I think that tonenail seperaters work really well! But more than that this is good advice 4 me because I am having a sleepover soon! I love DG GIRLS!Seperators
Actually, I find it easier NOT to use toenail separators.I LOVE IT!
I love painting my nails. i have this nail art book and its awsome!!:DArt book
Which nail art book? I’ve seen alot but they look lame.I know
I know but the point is that when i paint my toe nails, sometimes i get the nail polish everywhere ! like on my feet and ny hands. but overall i still know how to do my nails ! but thanks for the tips. oh and about that clairs nail polish, i got one from there and it was the ones with two colors in them and they got mixed up (pink and blue) now its all blue !oohhhh
i love doing my nails! im really god at it too ! i just grab a pretty color ansd dazzle!Good and Bad ...
I think the best nail polish is O.P.I., and the worst one, actually, is the ones I get from Claire’s. I get cool colors there, but I have to put on like four coats and it chips within a day. O.P.I. is expensive but it lasts! And make sure that you put a smooth, clear topcoat on, and make sure it’s topcoat. There’s also a clear one you put on underneath that can make you nails rough and the polish stick better.
