With spring in full swing and summer creeping up (hello 90 degree temps!) it’s time for those toes to come out and play. AKA they need to look pretty for sandals! I personally love getting pedicures, but it’s not cheap and honestly it’s a time suck. Whereas I can do a perfect at home pedicure while watching the DVR or listening to a podcast and have laundry going. I feel like over the years I have perfected my perfect at home pedicure routine, so today I am sharing the process and it will have your toes looking salon perfect and sandal ready!
Step 1: Take off old or chipped polish. Start fresh! Make sure the polish is off really well. Then wash off your feet.
Step 2: I use the Amopé Pedi Perfect Wet & Dry Rechargeable Foot File to really clean up my feet. Listen, our feet are not perfect. We are on them all day and they get dry and cracked, and the skin is not the best. We all deal with this and the Amopé Pedi Perfect Wet & Dry is the only thing that has ever worked on my feet long term. I use this when I give myself pedicures and then a few times during the week in the shower to keep my feet looking their best. I am telling you guys this is life changing! I actually purchased it a few months ago after seeing it on TV. It makes my pedicures last SO MUCH LONGER no matter if I do them myself or get them done in a salon. By using this took throughout the time of a pedicure it just lasts longer. Note: I have very sensitive skin and this does not hurt your feet or take too much skin off. That’s the feedback I have gotten from others that use it too. It’s amazing! You need to go buy it like yesterday.
Step 3: Moisturize. Just like in a salon give yourself a foot rub, use some good lotion and really massage those feet.
Step 4: I use Seche Clear base coat to prime the nails. Then this time I used a new favorite, OPI Dutch Tulips. It’s a great spring color. It’s a reddish pink and oh so pretty! I have people ask me what color it is ALL THE TIME! I usually do two coats. Then I use Seche Vite topcoat! This stuff is magic and dries your nails super quick.
Step 5: I clean up around my toes with q-tips to get any excess polish off.
Step 6: Enjoy the finished product. Put on some cute sandals and show off those toes!
See, not too difficult and totally great to have a little time to yourself and pamper yourself. You deserve it!
What are your tips for the perfect at home pedicure?

I hate the price of pedicures but I am not talented at doing my own toes…so pedicure it is! I am going to get one tomorrow! I always get the gel on my toes bc it lasts longer and I don’t have to go as much and I can exfoliate and smooth my feet between my pedicures!
I always wondered how the Amope worked! I’m such a ticklish person on my feet that I can’t really get pedicures because I can’t hold still. This might be a good option!
I really need that Amope pedicure system! I’ve always used the PedEgg for my feet. I love pedis but as you said they are not exactly cheap to always get.
LOVE me a pedicure! I worked retail (usually in heels…) for years and my feet have never been the same. I’m gonna have to try this nifty tool out! Thanks!
I love pulling out my foot bath for pedicures, you know those things they sell like crazy at Christmas and everybody uses once and ditches. I love mine!! I love your tips and I am going to look into that tool you use. I LOVE OPI nail polishes!
I really could use a pedicure so thanks for the tips! In the states I would get one every few weeks but here they are so expensive… 🙁 but with your tips I can do it myself!
Girl I wish mine looked as good as yours! I totally need that tool. I will admit I always do my nails at home (well usually) but i do love getting a pedi done by someone else 😉
I love this! I need to learn how to do pedicures at home too because they are just not in my budget with paying back my student loans! Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely have to try a couple of these products!
Now all I want to do is get a pedicure!! I love soaking my feet in warm epson salt water. It helps with my sore heels (plantar fasciitis probs) and makes my feet feel fresh and rejuvenated.
I love getting a pedicure, especially during the spring and summer when I wear sandals. This is a great way to do it right at home and save some money.
Because I do martial arts, I get regular pedis at the salon (every 2 weeks), but this is great for those in between times like day 13 🙂
I have been want the wet and dry pedi for sometime now. Think I need to treat myself.
I need that Pedi Perfect! My feet get so rough and dry… especially in the winter. I bet this would help them feel smooth.

so awesome. i really should do more of this at home rather then spending so much more money at the salon!
Oooooh this is going on my must-have list!! Thank you!
I love that color! Thanks for sharing!
What a pretty nail polish! Great post! 🙂
Nice red! Must go exfoliate now – you’ve inspired me!

I actually wish I could do my own pedicure but I can’t bend down due to a bad back 🙁 I do love your cheetah sandals!
I love OPI’s Dutch Tulips! I got it last time I was at the nail salon 🙂

Summer is here!! Finally the perfect excuse for home pedicures! Loved this post – and love the colours you chose!
I can’t wait to do my own pedicure! I have been curious about the Amope so I’m glad you like it.

Okay, I need that foot file!!! Thanks for sharing. I hate to spend $50 on a pedicure each month so this will help out GREATLY!

I definitely need to pamper myself this way! An at home pedicure is the way to go since we try to stick to a budget.

I love the idea of a Pedicure at home. It’s So hard to do own feet because i have back issues, and I can’t sit on a pedicure chair for 45 minutes.
