It is not enough to polish one’s face or hands to be beautiful. It is also about sprucing up the toes. We don’t neglect our dainty-looking pretty feet under closed sandals, bellies, or boots just because we’re in the thick of winter. Regardless of the season, our toes should always be prepared to be exposed to attention at any time.
We are so preoccupied with fashion trends that we overlook one simple fact. Simple toenail designs that you can do yourself are the hottest trend right now, giving you a plethora of opportunities to express your creativity and imagination on your nails. Between super cute and sassy options in toenail art designs that are hard to wish away and neglect, there are also a few tips on how to do a pedicure at home, ensuring that your toenails will be taken care of thoroughly.

A 5-Step Guide To A Perfect Pedicure
Step 1: Clean your toes.
“First, gently remove all polish from your toes,” instructs Morello-Zappacosta. “File your toenails to the desired shape, then brush and file dust away.” Trim long nails with a nail clipper first.
Step 2: Soak your feet in warm water.
“Put a bath towel down under the warm footbath and drop those tired feet in,” says Morello-Zappacosta. You can add your favorite aromatherapy oil, Epsom salts, tea tree oil, and other ingredients for extra cleansing and fragrance. Your skin will be cleaned and softened as you soak your feet in the dishpan (or, if you’re feeling fancy, a foot bath) for five to ten minutes, which is necessary for the upcoming exfoliation. Don’t forget to listen to your favorite music and unwind!
Step 3: Get rid of any dead skin.

“Next, apply a callus remover to the calloused area of your feet. Allow it to sit for a few minutes,” says Morello-Zappacosta. “Then use the pumice bar to slough off dry, dead skin. This will leave you with feet that are soft, smooth, and free of calluses.” After all, what’s the point of having pretty toes if the rest of your feet are hard and dry? “Carefully wipe the feet after filing, and wash off all the callous remover. Rinse your feet in the pan of water and towel dry,” Morello-Zappacosta instructs.
Step 4: Trim your cuticles.
“Use the cuticle oil on the cuticles of your toes,” says Morello-Zappacosta. Then, gently push them back with one of your wooden stick pedicure tools. “Now softly buff the nails and edges with the buffer block, removing any excess residue.”
Step 5: Apply polish to your toes.
It’s finally time for the big show! You’re now ready to start applying your polishes. First, remove any lotion from your nails. Then, “apply a good clear base coat for hardening as well as great polish adhesion. Wait a few seconds, then apply your favorite nail polish,” says Morello-Zappacosta. “Wait a few minutes for the polish to set, then apply your top coat sealant.” Finally, you can relax and let your lovely toes dry. Your efforts will be rewarded when you can show them off at home or out in sandals! Discover what your nail polish color reveals about you.
