I think you can do just a good job at your house but it definitley would be more relaxing to go to a spa plus you have to treat yourself every once in a while ; )For a good pedicure?
nail salon..
I do my own all the time and they look great...and plus they're either minimal or no money! First exfoliate and use a pumice stone to smooth our your feet, then do your cuticles. Apply a base coat, two coats of your color, and a top coat. Then moisturize and you should be good to go! I reccomend getting the girls, it's much more fun that way too!
This is what you'll need:
* a foot spa or basin, anything big enough to soak your feet in.
* nail file and a buffer
* foot file or pumice stone(both)
* polish remover and nail brush
* cotton balls and a towel
* cuticle pusher and cuticle stick
* cuticle nipper
* cuticle oil
* lotion
* nail clipper
* cuticle remover
First, take off the nail polish you have on, then clip your toenail to desired length, shape them with the nail file.
Next, Soak your feet in soapy, warm water for about five to ten minutes. Then take one foot out, pat it dry, apply cuticle remover to all of your toes, use the cuticle pusher to push back your cuticles. Take the cuticle nippers and clip the excess cuticles and dead skin from around the toenail. Use the foot file or pumice stone to remove dead skin from the bottom of the foot until its smooth. It's best to leave the foot file dry while your feet are damp rather than wetting the foot file. Use the other end of the cuticle pusher to clean anything out of your toenails. Place foot back in the water and brush your nail with the nail brush to remove cuticle remover and everything. Take the foot back out and pat dry. Repeat on the other foot. Then buff the toenails with the buffer to smooth them. Put cuticle oil on your toes. Lotion your feet. Use polish remover to remove oil from your toes. Now it's time to polish. Instead of buying toe seperators you can use cotton balls. Put on a clear base coat first, then apply polish, polish otherfoot, then place another coat of polish on the one you polished first. If you make any mistakes correct them by wrapping a small piece of the cotton around the other end of of the cuticle pusher or a cuticle stick and wetting it with polish remover. Then apply a clear topcoat.
You can go to the cosmetic section at Wal-Mart and buy a kit that has mostly everything you need in it for about $12.00. If you need additional help email me at lajoya192002@sbcglobal.net. Have fun!
Try it at home its cost effective and would be great i usually do that
I recommend going to a nail salon. They have the best nail polish and, somehow, it stays on much longer than when I do it at home.
if you want the best possible result, i suggest going to a good pedicurist or a salon. but if you prefer to do your own, you can buy manicure/pedicure kits in target or a drug store that have all the same tools as the people at your salon have. if you get french on your toes, i suggest a salon, it is very hard to draw a perfect line when you're doing it yourself! but if it is a solid color, doing it yourself is just the same!
it could be fun to do a pedicure party with a group of friends but to get the best go to a salon but don't let them use that razor blade thing..have them use the hard artificial pumis thing that comes in different colors. they work great
nail place even it all LOOKS the same nothing beats sitting back in the massage chair while they do it.. mmmm
