Fancy feet are a must for sandals and peep-toe shoes. Pamper yourself with a pedicure that's easy and gets you back on your feet in no time.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Nail polish remover
Cotton balls or pads
Nail clippers
A nail file
A cuticle remover
A cuticle orange stick
A cuticle trimmer
Foot scrub
A pumice stone or callous file
A towel
A thick moisturizer
A strengthening base coat
Nail polish
A shine-enhancing top coat
Epsom salt (optional)

Step 1: Remove old toenail polish

Remove existing toenail polish with remover and cotton balls or pads.

Step 2: Clip and file toenails

Clip and file toenails to desired length and shape.

Tip: File toenails straight across to reduce the risk of ingrowns.

Step 3: Soak feet

Relax while your feet soak in hot, sudsy water for about ten minutes.

Tip: Add three tablespoons Epsom salt to soften calluses and help slough off dead skin.

Step 4: Remove cuticles

Use cuticle remover and an orange stick to push back the cuticle on each toe. Trim excess cuticle skin.

Step 5: Remove dead skin and rough spots

Apply foot scrub or exfoliator -- rinse and use a pumice stone or callous file to remove remaining rough spots.

Step 6: Dry feet

Dry your feet with a soft towel.

Step 7: Moisturize feet

Moisturize your feet with a richer or heavier cream. Wipe off excess lotion from your nails.

Step 8: Polish toenails

Paint your toenails with a strengthening base, two coats of your favorite color, and a shiny top coat. When dry, enjoy stepping out in your strappy sandals.
