If you're like me not only do you not always have the time, but perhaps not always the budget for weekly pedicures. I often times have the task of DIY pedi's in between my times to the salon. I have an arsenal of products I like to use and here are some good ones I found at sephora.com...
Sephora Collection Professional Pedicure/Manicure Kit
Bliss Foot Patrol
Sephora by OPI Nail Treatment - Hydrator
Sephora by OPI polishes
Sephora by OPI Nail colour Drying Drops
Also a cool trick I learned is to take hot water in a bowl or basin big enough to fit one of your feet...add several squirts of lotion. I like Lubriderm.
Then add a few tablespoons of Olive Oil.
This mixture makes your feet super soft! I soak each for 5 minutes at a time, scrubbing one while the other soaks...and Voila! Happy Feet!! :)
You are a goddess for this post, Jamie! Now that spring/summer has arrived, I have been wearing wedge sandals ALL the time, and I want my feet to look gorgeous. Of course, I don't have time (or extra cash) to get pedicures at a salon; so I've been trying to give them to myself at home. I will definitely be using these tips. Behold the power of Olive Oil! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I have been doing my own mani and pedi's for a few months now. I need to try the Sephora foot scrub. I am excited because I'm actually getting better and better at it, but I do love the occasional pampering at the salon. Lubriderm lotion is my favorite too!
ReplyDeleteGreat post.

I do love the idea of this! But I think my problem is I need someone to cut my cuticles - I just can't do it myself! xxSAS
