Removing polish from nails should be done with a lint-free cotton pad. Saturate the cotton on the nail and let it soak first. Note that rubbing
Whitening toothpaste on one’s nails helps remove the polish faster. Lemon or lavender oil drops on each nail and rubbing a buffer back and forth over the nail also works.
Alcohol and acetone-free removers are less drying, but don’t apply on shades that appear dark. ‘Free’ stuff is used on lighter shades.
Following the removal of polish from nails is clipping nails. Use quality clippers to cut straight across just above the skin the nail should not extend the tip of your toe. Files maybe used to achieve this.
Soaking one’s feet is the third step. Warm bath salted water and aromatherapy oils are used when soaking feet. Soak your feet for at least 10 minutes.
Stay longer if your feet are cracked and callus. Add some milk to your bath along with essential oils and salts to loosen dead skin. Trim cuticles.
Application of cuticle remover nail bases for a minute and using an orangewood stick, pushing with a circular motion removes dead skin on top of the nail allows you not to touch toe flesh.
Scrubbing your feet: Apply foot scrub to a foot file or wet pumice stone to remove dead skin on balls and heels of your feet.
To remove dead skin around balls, bottoms and sides of your heels and the toes. Sit on the side of the bath tub to achieve a coverage position. Stop if your feet turn bright red for this means your feet have scrubbed too hard.
Dry feet thoroughly between toes and rub in a thick foot cream. Rehydrate the cuticles in a dab of cuticle oil.
After the above step, polish your toes. Use acetone remover to remove excess oils on the nails.
Apply a thin base coat using 3 strokes, one down, the middle, and one on each side. Don’t paint the cuticle. Wait for a minute. Add 2 favorable coats of polish. Finish with a thin top coat.
Clean any errors with an orangewood stick wrapped in cotton and dipped in acetone remover. Let the nails to dry for 40 minutes.
To prevent chipping, paint any polish remaining on the brush over the front edges of the nails.
Finally finish up, after the nails have died. Sprits with a moisturizing oil to set your polish and moisturize your cuticles. This will give you a good pedicure.
