Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Foot bath
• Essential oils
• Pumice stone
• Bath salt
• Cuticle cream
• Orange stick
• Nail clipper
• Nail file
• Polish

1. Soak your feet in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes either in a foot bath or the bathtub. Adding essential oils in your favorite scent will relax you and soften your feet. You can also soften your feet with a bath bead in warm water.

2. Scrub your feet with a bath salt to slough away dead skin cells. Massage the bath salt into your feet and rinse.

3. Use a pumice stone to soften rough spots and reduce calluses.

4. Apply a cuticle cream to soften your cuticles. Use an orange stick to gently push your cuticles back.

5. Rub on a foot cream or lotion to your feet and calves. Spend some time massaging your feet and calves.

6. Clip your toe nails straight across to avoid ingrown nails. Use a file to smooth the edges.

7. Choose the perfect shade of polish and polish your toe nails. Use a shiny top coat for that professional look.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure nails are completely dry before applying a second coat and top coat.
