How to Put on a Toenail Separator
A pedicure should be immaculate -- the cuticles should be pushed back or clipped, the nails filed evenly and the polish applied evenly without a drop on the skin. The last thing you want, after a painstaking paint job, is to botch up your lovely pedicure. Without realizing it, you can smudge your lovely paint job with a reflexive toe wiggle. This is where a toe separator comes in handy. Toe separators are readily available in the beauty section of most pharmacies, or you can make your own using a paper towel. Does this Spark an idea?

Paper Towel Toe Separator

Take a square sheet of paper towel. Place it in front of you so it looks like a diamond. Roll up the bottom corner to the top, twisting it tightly.

Start at the space between your big toe and second toe. Weave the paper towel around each toe, pushing it down toward your foot.

Weave back around your toes so both ends of the paper towel end up between your big toe and second toe. Twist these two ends together so they're out of the way and won't ruin your paint job.
