- If you have any nail polish on your toes, remove it before you start. Soak your feet in a large bowl of warm water or a foot bath.
- Use large nail clippers to trim your toenails. File them into the desired shape.
- Apply cuticle lotion to the edge of the toenails and push back the cuticles with a cuticle pusher.
- Using a pumice stone, remove any calluses and dead skin from the sole of your foot.
- Return your feet to the water to soak again. Take them out and dry them with a clean towel.
- Using a nail polisher (or nail buffer), polish the nails.
- Apply nail polish to each toenail (if desired). Use a base coat, a colored coat and a top coat. Clear nail polish can be used in place of the base coat and top coat.
- Apply body lotion or oil to your feet. Massage your feet and the bottom of your legs as you apply it.
