DIY Pedicure; Budget NailTech Edition

#lemon8diarychallenge #letschat

So yeah, I didn’t share my holy grail 🙄 I forgot to retrieve a picture of it so I’ll tell you

BEFORE POLISHING, use a dehydrator a primer for the gel to stick AND gel base!

I call it the holy grail it will make it last long no matter how much you soak in a tub, go for a swim, etc.

Products Used:

💅🏽Dawn Dish Soap

💅🏽Dollar Tree: Epsom Salt, Scrubs

💅🏽Im a Nail Tech so I have files, buffers, sanding bands, nail lamp, gel polishs, nail primer and dehydrator already but DO NOT sleep on Sallys and Amazon they have some reasonable items there for decent prices.

💅🏽Sally’s: Pumice and $10 Callus Terminator

... Read moreCreating a perfect DIY pedicure can be an enjoyable experience without breaking the bank. Start by gathering some basic supplies that are often found at home or easily attainable at local stores like Dollar Tree or Sally's. Begin with a thorough cleaning of your feet using Dawn Dish Soap and Epsom Salt for a relaxing soak that helps to soften the skin. Remember to use a dehydrator and primer as the crucial first step before applying gel polish to ensure maximum adherence and durability. Invest in some essential nail tools such as files, buffers, and sanding bands which are necessary for the perfect finish. A gel nail lamp is also essential for curing your polish properly. Products like the $10 Callus Terminator from Sally's provide great value for maintaining the health of your feet. After polishing, don’t forget to care for your cuticles to avoid any unsightly overgrowth, using a pumice stone responsibly for smooth feet. Lastly, joining online communities or forums for nail enthusiasts can provide you with helpful tips and inspiration. Sharing experiences with others who have similar interests will further enhance your DIY nail journey, ensuring that your pedicure is as enjoyable as it is beautiful.

Beginner nail tips from a semi retired nail tech 💅
1. Quality over Quantity ✅️ I get wanting to improve speed. However, if you're fresh out of school, speed will come with time. My "good" sets used to take about 3-4 hours for basic french, even longer for designs! Slow down, REALLY pay attention to each step you do, and take your time!
