Salon pedicure

Wipe nails clean with polish remover
Wash and dry feet
Trim nails straight across and file corners to help prevent ingrown toenails
Use a wood stick or wet washcloth to push back cuticles
Wipe nails with polish remover or cleanser (removes last of oil)
Swipe on the base coat in 3 strokes: the first up the middle of your nail, then to either side. Repeat this 3-stroke method with all coats
Add two thin coats of color, letting the polish dry completely between coats. Leave your big toe for last to avoid smudging it when you’re doing the others
Finish with a top coat and go barefoot or wear open-toe shoes until they’ve completely dried
