Steps for a DIY Manicure and Pedicure

Posted on July 6, 2016March 30, 2020 by Laura

Do you love getting pedicures and manicures? I do! But I don’t always get a lot of time to sneak away from the little one.  The next best thing is to gather some really awesome products and do it yourself. Read some of my tips and steps for a DIY manicure and pedicure.

{Steps for a DIY Manicure and Pedicure}

 

Step #1

Fill a small bucket with warm water large enough to fit your feet. Add a foot soak to help moisturize your feet. Lately I’ve been using CND Spa Bright Citron Soak, which has a great summery scent! Remove any old polish from your toes. Soak your feet and relax with a good magazine!

Step #2

After soaking your feet for about 10 minutes use a pumice stone to remove all the dead skin. If needed, clip your nails and clean up your cuticles. Exfoliate your feet with your favourite foot scrub. I’m loving the Pink Peppermint Scrub by Froosh!  It smells so nice and refreshing and feels great on the skin. Sonia Roselli “SexaPeel” is another great product to try. It works well to remove unwanted dead skin.

Step #3

After the foot prep rinse any remaining products off with cool water and dry your feet off. Moisturize your feet with a rich foot butter. Try the Pink Peppermint Foot Butter by Froosh. It’s very rich, thick and creamy; it’s the perfect way to massage and pamper sore feet and legs!

Step #4

To remove any residue left from the foot butter, use a little bit of polish remover to go over the nails. This will remove any residue from the foot butter which can prevent colour from sticking. CND Vinylux Weekly Polishes are a great choice for a long lasting pedicure!

Step #5

To start your manicure file and shape your nails. Wash your hands thoroughly, dry them off and moisturize with your favourite moisturizer. The Gardenia Woods Lotion by CND is a great choice! It smells amazing and I’m always a sucker for a great scent! Use a little cuticle oil all over the nails to treat them.  Next, remove any excess residue with polish remover. Again, paint your nails with your favourite polish.

  • This is a long video, and a change from our typical content, but it’s something I really wanted to hear your thoughts on. Did this sports team miss an opportunity? Was my student’s question too tough or unrealistic? We still had lots of fun at the pep rally, but the rewording of this question really bugged me. Is “follow your dreams” a satisfying answer in this case? —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #womeninsports #feminist #sexism #aagpbl #domore #mlb #sexisminsport #likeagirl #femaleathlete #foodforthought #bluejays #tbjwintertour #torontobluejays
  • Happy NYE, folks! For those who had a great 2022, cheers a fab end to a fab year. To those for whom 2022 was not so great - toast to a new beginning! Either way, hopefully you’re able to find a moment for gratitude and comfort tonight. ✨❤️ Wearing: @ardellbeauty Magnetic Megahold lashes* @cheekbonebeauty Sustain complexion pencils* 1, 2, and 6 + Sustain eye pencil in green turquoise @lorealparis Brow Stylist Frame & Set in 214 @cbvisage lipliner in Rescue Me *Products kindly gifted —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #ardellholiday #cheekbonebeauty #crueltyfreemakeup #carylbakervisage #redhead #torontopr #torontomakeup #nyemakeup #holidaymakeup #simpleglam #tbrcontributors #bye2022
  • ✨ REST IS PRODUCTIVE ✨ @adam__malek got me this sticker for Christmas, and I genuinely cried when I saw it. I need the reminder. The idea that productivity = self-worth is so damaging, and one that is often marketed heavily in the new year. I struggle with the “I haven’t been busy enough to deserve a rest - guess I’ll just take on too many projects and then revenge procrastinate because of burnout and get no sleep, then scramble and feel like I need to do even more!” cycle. I feel compelled to list everything I’ve done on the weekend
  • Sometimes I wear makeup (most days it’s only on the part of my face that isn’t covered by my mask though) Wearing assorted things, including: #QuoBeauty Love is Love palette* @shoppersdrugmart @lorealparis Frame & Set Brow Stylist in Medium Brown @cheekbonebeauty Sustain complexion pencils* @watierofficial Love My Lips Caring Lip Oil in Rosehip* @cbvisage lip liner in Rescue Me *Products kindly gifted —————————————————————————— #mytbrfave #torontobeautyreviews #tbrcontributors #torontopr #watier #shoppersdrugmart #drugstoremakeup #crueltyfreemakeup #affordablemakeup #cleanmakeup #easymakeup #muotd #makeupdaily #colourfulmakeup #madeincanada
