First think about yourself both mani %26amp; pedi are suppose to be about pampering yourself! you are going to need supplies from your local beauty store or a store like CVS,Rite aid. you need emery boards, buffer, finger bowl %26amp; pail for feet, orangewood stick, foot file or pumice stone ( for rough patches if you have any) ,toenail ,clipper,nail ,clippers, nail polish remover, brush,towels,cuticle softner, cottonballs, basecoat polish,color polish,top coat polish(if that is what u like) your favorite shower or bath gel.%26amp; a good moisturising lotion. the first thing is to get the warm water w/soap for your feet than the soapy water for your hands. have all your supplies together


because when u put your feet into the water u want to have everything u need. put your feet into the water and soak from 20 to 45 mns while your feet are soaking start on your hands. cut %26amp; shape all of your nails with emery board making them nice %26amp; smooth on edges after that then u soak %26amp; clean the nails. then do the same for your feet.using the foot file or pumice stone squeeze small amount of your shower gel onto stone or file and scrub


( if needed) than clean nails out using nail brush and orangewood stick getting any lose skin under nail ( Make sure u put a little bit of cotton on the end of stick to prevent being inguries. dry foot by foot than cut and file them. u may need to resoak them after that ( only for a min or 2) after that dry and use cuticle oil on cuticles rub into nail after that buff nails gently. nails should be glossy


then wipe excess off do this same step for your nails.


then apply base coat of polish ,then color( if desired) then top coat . hope this helps u out.How do I do a pedicure at home?
Pedicure! My favorite pampering activity!


You can buy one of those fancy schmancy whirlpool type foot tubs, but really not necessary.


Soak your feet in a tub ( i use a dish tub) add any type of bath salts or even just epsom salt. Pat dry - leaving foot slightly damp and exfoliate with pumice stone or foot file. You can do this alone or with an exfoliating product ( I use The Body Shop Pumice Foot Scrub) Rinse well and soak some more. If you have really rough spots use the stone or file again. While your nails and cuticles are soft this is a good time to trim nails and push back cuticles. Dry feet and apply lotion. Paint your nails and after they dry you can apply nail decals - too cute!
Go buy a foot bath (Target/WalMart). You can also purchase the kit to do the footbath at home there too. The one that I have is Mary Kay. It works wonders!
Wash your feet, trim your toenails, clean the muck from under


the toenail (dead skin etc) put a nice layer of nail polish on,


decorating as desired. Manicures are similar, Other that washing


hands instead of feet (you CAN wash both), cliipping your finger-


nails instead of toenails (razor cuts are not recommended), and trimming the cuticles. If you're lucky you'll get a nice tip from yourself
dunno its much more relxing if you you get it done by someone else
Well if you don't have a kit grab some nail polish, nail polish romover, and a bowl and fill it with warm water and also get some lotion and anything else you would normally do for you nails and turn on some music and paint away and stick one of your hands in the water while the other one dries. And if you have little nail stickers you can put some on. Hope I helped a little. Vote me for best answer please!
i do my own pedicures and people look at me wierd when i do it and then when they see the outcome they ask how i do it soooo.... here u go








u are going to need:





scotch tape


white nail polish


clear nail polish








if u need to trim ur nails do so BEFORE u paint them, after wards make sure under ur toenails are clean then put the scotch tape on ur toe nails as to the thickness of the white line u want u want it small put the edge closer to the end of ur toenail vis versa if u want it thicker. apply two coats. then take the tape off thefirst foot u did cuz it will be drier. then apply a clear coat let it stand while u remove the tape of the opposite foot and apply a coat of clear while that foot dries apply another coat to the first foot and then after that do the other foot. let them dry now ur feet are done








do the same for a manicure
1. Soak your feet in warm water,and add some bath salts if you want. Soak for 10 min.


2. After or while soaking your feet you may want to scrub them with a pumice to get rid of dead skin on your feet.


3. Then, take your feet out and dry them. Apply foot lotion to soften your feet.


4. Trim toenails and gently file them.


5. Apply cuticle remover and wait a few moments. Gently push back the cuticles of your toenails and trim with a cuticle cutter (you may not need cuticle remover if you've soaked your feet long enough).


6. Apply your favorite nail polish and apply a second coat if you want to. You may want to use base coat before applying the nail polish and top coat after. Sometimes using a plastic toe divider helps with polish application.
nail cutter
For a pedicure, get a foot bath which is a thing that you can put your feet and there is water in it. I have one and the water bubbles and it is pretty cool. Get lotions that you like that you can put on peoples' feet. Then also nail polish and you will be set.
