How to keep your pedicure looking FAB between pedi appointments

Getting a pedicure is one thing but being able to maintain the end results afterwards can be quite a challenge. Never fear, Pamper Me Pretty is here to give you a step by step guide to keep those toes looking fabulous.

Step 1.
The day you get your pedicure avoid wearing closed-toed shoes, socks and/or pantyhose. If you have to wear closed-toed shoes please avoid pointed toe high heels or heels period. When you wear high heel shoes your feet tend to push forward to the point of the shoe. Due to the elevation of your feet. This can cause major smudging of your toe polish.

Step 2.
When taking a shower the day of your pedicure let your toes air dry instead of using a towel, which can get towel marks or fuzz in your polish.

Step 3.
When the polish on your toes start to look dried out. Apply two coats of your own clear coat polish. This will rejuvenate your polish

Step 4.
Each time you get out of the shower/bath, apply a small amount of cuticle oil to your toes. Cuticle oil should be able to be purchased from your pedicurist.

Step 5.
Moisturizing is also key!!! Do your pedicure justice by using a good foot cream. I suggest Shea butter and a good heavy lotion on your toes and heels right before you go to bed. It is important to do moisturizing before bed because you are allowing the moisturizer to penetrate your feet at rest.
