DealGirls.com Shopping Blog: June 14th, Pedicure Tips

Salons do a nice job, but are somewhat expensive when it comes to pedicures. If you don't want to pay for a pedicure every few weeks, we have a solution for you. Do the pedicure yourself. Set a few hours for a serious pampering for yourself, and enjoy. You will not believe how refreshed and relaxed you will feel afterwards(with a new cool pedicure to boot!).

For an even cooler pedicure ideas, host a pedicure party for yourself and a few of your friends. Invite your girlfriends over, paint each others' toe nails and have a few cocktails. Just make sure you have cocktails after you have already painted the nails :)

Here are our pedicure tips for at home pedicure:

• A few weeks before the party, purchase the supplies. Doing everything in advance will help you save money, and you will get free shipping with your purchase of $49 or more. Here is what you will need:
  • Lavender Candles to set the relaxing and informal mood. Get more then one if you have a big room. $7.93 each
  • Got2B Spa Foot Retreat, Soak for Aching Tired Feet. This soothing foot soak gently relaxes tight and tired foot muscles while aromatic essential oils of sandalwood, eucalyptus, lavender and sage revitalize your senses and awaken your spirit. $6.12
  • Got2B Spa Foot Polish. After soaking feet, scoop out a small amount of foot polish and massage onto wet feet. For extra dry, rough skin, use a pumice stone to help slough away callus prone skin from your heels and toes. $6.12
  • Got2B Spa Foot Cooler, Energizing Leg & Foot Gel. Eucalyptus, mint and tea tree oil instantly give your exhausted feet and legs an all-over tingling and energizing sensation. Massage in after a "high-heeled" day. The perfect "I've been on my feet all day" treatment. $6.12
  • 5-Piece Foot Care Set. Contains Corn Slicer with Spare Blades, Foot File and 2 Pumice Sponges. $8.99. You will need one for each participant
  • Nail Polish. It is time to paint the nails! Buy a few different colors of nail polishes, as you never know the color your friends would like. Some like really bright toes; some opt for the light, almost transparent ones to let their sandals shine. Whichever color you choose, buy the OPI brand nail polish. This is the brand used by the salons, and it goes on nicely. Take a look at OPI Las Vegas Colors - they provide a nice palette and different shades to please everyone

  All of the pedicure supplies for 5 people will run you about $100. Cheaper then getting pedicures at the salon, but a bit pricey. You might opt for skipping some of the supplies or asking your pals to chip in - $20/person is much better then you picking up the tab.

• Set the mood - informal and relaxing! Light the candles, put on some music or turn on your favorite girly movie - after all, it is a girls night.
• Use the foot soak, foot polish and foot gel the way it is described on each can. Use the foot care set to rub the feet and file the townails.
• Paint each others' nails
• Have fun!
