If your toes have already seen better days but you can’t make it to the nail salon anytime soon, you don’t have to wear socks all the time or give up trendy sandals as the weather warms up.
It’s relatively easy to do a pedicure at home if you have a few tools. You’ll need nail clippers, a file, a base coat, a top coat, and at the very least, a fairly stretchy polish. Other items, such as a foot soak, cuticle oil, and a foot file to remove calluses, are optional but appreciated. You can achieve a professional, long-lasting pedicure without these extra items, but they make the beauty treatment more therapeutic and improve the overall results.
