Try these three genius pedicure shortcuts to prep your feet for summer, stat, no matter what shoes you’re wearing.
If you’re wearing…
Peep Toes
Clean up those big toes and skip the little ones that stay hidden. Smooth edges with a file, and prevent smudges by slipping into your shoes prior to painting. Try: Essie Nail Lacquer in “Ballet Slippers” ($7)
Ballet Flats or Cutouts
Moisturize visible skin only – just the tops of your feet if you are wearing flats – to put an end to ashiness. Then even out any weird discoloration with an instant body bronzer. Try: St. Tropez One Night Only Wash Off Face and Body Lotion ($18)
Slides
A slip-on style displays heels. Be sure to remove dead skin and rough patches with an electronic foot file. Then follow up with a thick balm. Try: Amopé Pedi Perfect Wet & Dry Rechargeable Foot File ($40)
No need to stop by a salon when you have an instant pedicure at home.
