Even though summer is not in full swing, both the high temperature and the playful sun beams are a strong reason for you to sport light, coloured dresses, teamed with pumps, flats and peep-toes. But before you don the fashionable peep toes or the sandals, a pedicure session is compulsory. Therefore, here’s a short guide on how to do a great at home-pedicure. There are some products you’ll need to purchase in order to get the pedicure you want:

• A basin containing warm water
• A shower gel or some bath oil to pour in the water for perfumed and soft feet
• Cotton pads, nail polish remover
• Nail polish (the star colours of this summer are raspberry pink, orange, dark red; if you want to keep it simple just go for a nude-rose which is never out of style )
• Clippers and a nail file are mandatory
• Toe separator

Now that you are armed with these magic cosmetic tools and with the sweet-smelling products, let’s get started. In order to get perfectly-coloured toe nails, just stick to the following instructions.

• If the case, use the nail polish remover and the cotton pads to get rid of the old nail polish. Then, soak your feet into the warm, scented water for no more than 15 minutes and enjoy this relaxation feeling that seizes all your body.
• Once both your feet and nails are soft and clean, use the clippers and the nail file to give your nails the shape you desire. The cosmeticians revealed this season both the square nails and the round nails are stylish, so choose the shape that fits best.
• If necessary, you can push back your cuticles. There is another solution: try on the cuticle moisturizer which practically removes the dead skin around your nails.
• Before you apply the nail polish, separate your toes with the toe separator in order to make sure you won’t split the polish all over the toes.
• Make use of the nail polish, apply a thin coat and wait for it to dry. In order to get a bold color, apply two coats of nail polish. Provided you are not an expert when it comes to painting your nails, check out a subject-related article we previously posted in the Tips and Tricks category.
