I was tired of all the endless nonsense everyone was trying to pimp out random products that do the same job as stuff I found in my kitchen cupboards.

Here is a pedi for a fraction of the price.

You Will Need (14 things)

  • Toe Separator
  • Clear Nail Polish
  • Foot Spa or a feet size Bowl
  • Orange Stick
  • Nail File
  • Cuticle Remover
  • 2 tbsp Salt
  • 1 Lemon
  • Moisurizing Bubble Bath or Body Wash
  • Nail Clippers
  • Towel
  • Aluminium Foil
  • Nail Polish Remover
  • Cotton Wool

Steps (7 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Every thing I need to start this project. Something to add is a MP3 player with your fave songs. I made this a two hour project but you can probably do it in 1 and a half hours

  2. 2

    To start dip cotton wool in nail polish remover and clean my toe nails. When the polish is really stuck, wrap the cotton wool over your nail with a piece of foil. Do so with each nail for 10 minutes.

    After that I take a lemon (or lemon Juice) and rub it on my toes to whiten the nail a bit.(10 min about) The scrub your feet with the salt. Rinse.

  3. 3

    To soak I have a foot spa but a bowl would do just fine.

    I usually add a bubble bath or a body wash. In the middle of the pic there is weird jelly stuff I got from one of those random cheapo stores.

    I was thinking another thing that would be excellent was Green Tea of jasmine tea

  4. 4

    Here I add water to the spa. The first jug of cold water I fill my fish tank with or water plants with.

    (See the weird jelloness of that stuff? It's weird)

    Soak for 30 minutes

  5. 5

    Keep soaking your other foot to keep the cuticles soft.

    Clip the nails. Remember the keep the sides square to prevent ingrown toe nails.

    I usually use the cuticle cutter to push back the cuticles.

    With the orange stick clean under the nails

  6. 6

    Usually I leave my toes nails clean for a breather for a day before I repaint.

    Here I give them a coat of clear polish to prevent staining.

  7. 7

    Zen feet. Those things are stuck in shoes all day . . . take care of them!
