Step 4
Use cuticle cutters to trim the cuticle. (Oil may be applied first to soften the cuticle.)
-
Step 5
Apply an exfoliating foot scrub or use a wet pumice stone to remove any dead skin the heels and balls of your feet. (Make sure not to rub super hard! You only want to remove the dead skin not remove all the skin! Don't rub until your skin in red! This means you have over done it!)
Wash off excess in water bowl. -
Step 6
After foot is dry, apply your favorite foot cream or moisturizing lotion to the feet, in between the toes, and calves.

Polish your toes with your favorite color and let dry thoroughly. (You can even use a toe separator if you want to get fancy!)

Step 8
After polish is dry, apply thin layer of top coat and dry again. Don't you feel refreshed now!?
