Tips To Get Perfect Pedicure At Home


A good pedicure can leave you with super soft feet and beautiful looking toenails. However, we often do not have enough time to carry out a complete pedicure. All that we do is spend ten minutes on trimming our nails, filing them and coating them with your favorite nail paint. However, whenever we find time, we should pamper our feet and make them soft and beautiful with a perfect pedicure at home.

Clip Toenails

Trim all your toenails with the help of a toenail clipper to get a clean and decent pair of toenails. Avoid trimming too deeply as it can lead to ingrown toenails. Make sure never to share nail clippers as they can lead to spreading of foot fungus.

File Them

Use a filer and file your toenails straight across.

Soak Feet

Soak your feet in hot water for a prolonged period of time. Add some essential oils or bath bubbles along with bath salts in a large tub or pan and soak your feet in that. You can also add skin softening oils in the water.

Exfoliate

After soaking, scrub your feet using an exfoliating mixture. Various scrubs are easily available in the market. However, if you do not have a scrub at hand, you can make use of oatmeal for the same. Apply the scrub when the foot is web and then on your toes, heels and arch of the foot. For extra exfoliation, you can use a pumice stone.

Pamper Feet

Remove your feet from the water and wipe using a clean and soft towel. Place your feet in the position in which you paint your nails and apply a cuticle cream on the bed of all toenails. Once it gets soaked completely, push back all the cuticles gently to increase length of the nails. Rinse the nails properly.

Apply Polish

Dry the nails completely and apply clear polish on them. Once it dries, apply the nail paint of your choice. If required, apply a second coat of nail paint. Once the nail paint dries, cover it with top coat.

Massage Well

Massage a good foot cream into your entire feet. Use a scented cream such as chamomile or lavender and massage using your thumbs. Cover your feet with a pair of socks to allow the moisture to settle in.

Celebrity hair lust: Eva Mendes' updos


The glamorous actress sported two fabulous updos in two days... Check them out here!

Sometimes it seems that Eva Mendes is single-handedly keeping old school Hollywood glamour alive. The gorgeous actress is pretty much never photographed in anything less than a gorgeous frock and heels, and when it comes to her red carpet hairstyles she's one star who can pull off loose locks or an updo with equal panache.

Right now, however, she's been favouring tied up styles. Last week saw her appear on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien wearing an abstract floral frock by Catherine Malandrino and a plaited hairstyle. Her locks had been separated into three sections and each braided into a French plait then pulled back into a ponytail for a playful look.

The effect of the youthful hairdo teamed with her form-fitting dress made the overall vibe pretty and youthful.

A day later and Eva Mendes was on the red carpet for the CNN Heroes an All Star Tribute event and this time went for all-out glamour.

Wearing a black bustier dress covered in gold embellishment, Eva wore an updated version of a beehive hairstyle. The intricate 'do was a creative twist on the high hairstyle which we often see Eva sporting. It gives height and also references the quiff which is very much a la mode right now and a style we've seen frequently on our celebrity hair crush, Dannii Minogue.
