How to get the corporate
glamorous look for feet with French pedicure!
There has always been a regime for keeping feet clean
but with pedicure, cleanliness and attractiveness is attained in one
inoculation. The name, pedicure is derived from Latin word pedis
which means ‘foot’ and cura means ‘care’. The nitty-gritty of any
pedicure is the same- soaking, smoothing, pampering and polishing. The
prime difference between a normal pedicure and a French pedicure is the
application of French nail paint.
How do we achieve that corporate
glamorous look for our feet?
Different from the other pedicures, in French
pedicure tips of the nails are painted white and rest of the nails are
painted either pearl or pink to give them a classic and ideal corporate
look. French pedicure is followed by the basic pedicure fundamental that
is cleaning of the feet.
The steps
·
First step is to
soak feet in warm water with Epsom salt. Epsom salt makes feet soft and
clean.
·
Exfoliating skin with pumice stone is
good however; keeping in mind the sensitivity of women skin is equally
important as excessive rubbing of pumice stone can peel of the skin.
·
Massage some good body or hand lotion
on the feet, between toes, cuticles and also on the legs to attain the
complete recreation effect.
·
Cut off the dead
skin of feet or push the cuticles gently with cuticle trimmer.
·
Soak feet in luke warm water and apply
a good lotion on feet. Do the gentle message on the feet.
For a French pedicure, nails should be full-grown or
grown a bit. Nails can be given a shape by either squaring them off or
rounding them off. However, a square shape works better in French
pedicure to get an even line for the white paint.
Once nails are trimmed, the final step is to apply
the nail paint itself.
The base coat
Base coat is applied in one even
layer to all toes. Let it dry for about two minutes.
The white tip
The most complicated job is to
apply the white paint on the tip of the toe nails. A thin smooth white
line is to be applied on the tip of the toes. The white line application
should neither be too big nor too small.
The final base
The last step in French pedicure is to apply another
layer of the base paint coat. It is important to first ensure that nails
are completely dry out. A thin layer of pink or mauve or pearl paint
which ever has been used as your base coat, is to be reapplied over the
ten toe nails. This brings about a neater and cleaner look to the women
nails.
French pedicure can be performed
at the comfort of your own home if all steps are followed correctly. It
is also important to have the accessibility of necessary tools. French
pedicure kits are easily available at the body shop or beauty salons.
Epsom salt solution and cuticle trimmer can also be purchased from the
beauty shops.
However, if you are in a mood to have your feet
pampered rather than indulging your own self to pamper them, all good
beauty saloons and spas offer French pedicure. This would be one way of
gratifying your desire to rejuvenate yourself.
