The pedicure is an underappreciated art. The word pedicure comes from the Latin words "pes" (foot) and "cura" (care), and that's just what it is: the art of caring for your feet. Coddling and pampering them, if you will. Pedicures aren't just about painting your toe nails pretty colors, they're actually about toe nail care -- that is keeping your nails healthy and strong.
A pedicure should begin just like a manicure, starting with a thorough washing and soak in warm water to soften and refresh the skin. Pedicure tools are a little different than what you'd have on hand for a manicure though. For example, when giving a pedicure you'll want to use anti-bacterial soap and have a few towels on hand since things can get a little messy.
Once the feet are clean you'll want to exfoliate gently with an exfoliating lotion or scrub, and use a pumice stone to remove any stubborn calluses. Push back the cuticles on your toe nails, just like you would in a normal manicure, and finish up with nail polish. In a pedicure your top coat is especially important as it seals the nails against dirt and bacteria and helps keep your feet healthy. Browse our selection of pedicure supplies, polishes and more.
With the slightly specialized equipment used in a pedicure that might not be common when you're using manicure supplies, it's easy to get in the middle of it and find out you have forgotten something.
