Steps to Your Best At-Home Mani or Pedi

With summer knocking on our doors, it's time to give your hands and feet the care they deserve after dealing with the cold of winter and being shoved in boots for the last few months! Not sure where to start? Not to worry, Beauty Care Choices is here to guide you to achieving your best at-home manicure or pedicure that is shockingly, just as relaxing and luxurious as going to the salon!

The first step to achieving the ideal manicure or pedicure is a relaxing soak and moisturizing. The Qtica Smart Spa SmartPods are perfect for this! This four-piece individually packed manicure and pedicure product features a soak, sugar scrub, moisturizing mask, and an ultra-luxurious lotion. The soak is designed to soften the skin and provide it with intense hydration. It helps to also sanitize the skin while generating an amazing aroma therapy. Next, use the scrub pod to gently exfoliate the skin and remove dead and dry skin cells. This helps to create softer and smoother skin on both the hands and the feet. Follow up with the moisturizing mask and lotion to replenish the hydration of your skin, revealing healthier and more youthful-looking skin in an instant.

Next, it's time to remove unwanted calluses, the Cuccio Naturale Stainless Steel Pedicure File is a great option. This file features two different gift options to remove calluses from the hands and feet and an ergonomic handle that allows you to get a firm grip and good leverage for scrubbing. Being stainless steel, this file is also easy to clean after each use!

Now let's take care of those nails! Clip and file your nails to perfection with the Mehaz Professional Pro Curved Nail Clipper, and the Zoya Naked Manicure - Gelie-Cure 3-Way File. The Mehaz Professional Pro Curved Nail Clipper is a great tool for keeping your nails even and trimmed up and it features a clipping catcher so you won't have to worry about where those loose nails may be flying off too! The Zoya Naked Manicure - Gelie-Cure 3-Way File is great for shaping your nails and features an ultra-fine grit that is gentle on the nails structure.

Time for the fun part, let's paint those nails! First, start off with a base coat. If you think you can skip this step please reconsider. The base coat acts as a barrier between the natural oils that come from your nails and your polish. This also helps to make your polish last longer, and who doesn't want that? The OPI Nature Strong Botanical Base Coat is a percent option. It is infused with gentle skincare ingredients for healthy and smooth-looking nails. Next, pick your favorite nail polish color and apply two thin coats, and let them dry completely. Follow with a top coat like the Qtica Extending Top Coat to give your nails stunning shine and lasting protection from chipping and daily wear and tear.

Pro Tip: If you have excess lotions left use a nail polish remover to get a clean slate before applying your base coat and polish choice.

Lastly, top your nails with your favorite cuticle oil. We love the Miracle Fruit Oil Miracle Fruit Seed Oil Nail & Cuticle Oil Treatment for this! This oil helps to strengthen, moisturize, condition, restore, and protect the nails and cuticles for a healthy and stunning manicure and pedicure every time!

There you have it, a salon-quality manicure and pedicure from the relaxation of your home! Beauty Care Choices carries so many different options to create your perfect manicure and pedicure, shop our nail collection and boost your confidence with will stunning and healthy nails.
