All you’ve got to do is take a few extra steps as you get ready. By incorporating some pedicure prep into your shower and the rest of your routine, you’ll only need an extra five minutes to look like you had a professional pedicure!

• First, apply cuticle oil or baby oil to your cuticles. Do this several minutes before you get in the shower and let it soften those cuticles while you pick out an outfit or brush your teeth. This will properly prep your feet for the DIY pedicure, nourishing cuticles and softening them enough for you to get them into professional-looking shape.

Shape Nails and Cuticles Quickly!

Next, grab your toenail clippers and give yourself a trim. Toenails grow really fast, so you’re liable to need one. Soften the edges by quickly filing them with a fine emery board. As you do it, make sure each toenail has a rounded, even shape.

Now, hop in the shower. Bring a cuticle stick — also called an orange stick — in with you. Take a few seconds to push back the cuticles on each of your toenails. hold it at 45% angle at the edge and turn it neat to rounded,  cuticles are imperative to a professional-looking pedicure!

Make Feet Silky Smooth

• Soft smooth skin is important, too. So while you’re in the shower, be sure to use an exfoliating scrub on your feet and calves. for calluses you may have to use the pumice stone to  scrub it off. Rinse thoroughly.
• After you’ve toweled off, apply a foot cream or a rich body lotion to your feet and calves. Gorgeous, smooth skin is healthy skin, so moisturizing is essential to your pedicure looking its best. Remember to clean the lotion or oil thoroughly off your toes nails to keep nail polish stay and last longer.

If you can plan further in advance, apply a skin cream to your feet the night before. There are even special socks you can wear to bed to really lock in the moisture!

Polish Your Pedicure

Decide how you’d like to finish off your look. A beautiful pedicure can be simple — just a coat of clear polish might be all you need. The bonus to clear nail polish? When you’re in a rush, smudges or smears aren’t obvious at all.

For maximum impact, add color.

You’ll want a apply a clear base coat, two coats of colorful nail polish, and one clear topcoat. This is doable within time constraints if you’re well versed in nail polish application — it just takes a little practice. Apply nail polish using wide strokes from the base of the nail to the tip. If you don’t have enough time to let the polish dry completely, you can always slip on a pair of flip-flops as you’re running out the door. Pack those peep-toe pumps in your purse and put them on when you reach your destination.
