Care after bathing
Pretty feet
Care for delicate feet Take time for a home care program, ideally after bathing. Cornea is going on with a scrub? Himalayan salt crystals (eg from Artdeco), finely ground pumice stone or sea sand sand away bumps. Then massage in a moisturizing foot cream or a moisturizing cream with peeling effect. For persistent calluses, take a two-week course of treatment with a salicylic product. A mask also softens the feet - let it sink in under cotton socks overnight.
Pedicure for sandals feet Cut nails straight and not too short. Smooth edges with a sandpaper file and slightly round corners. Massage in cuticle oil and gently push back the softened cuticle with a rosewood stick and remove any unevenness or discolouration with a soft block buffer / polish file, apply a transparent base coat and the favorite varnish over it. Practical: a "3 in 1" - nail care pen. First, the top layer of the nail bed is slightly roughened and removed with a file, then a moisturizing nail gel is applied and finally a whitening varnish is brushed on.
Fine tuning for the nails
Toenails should be cut with a nail nipper, because of their thickness, which is often the reason for normal scissors. Always along the tip of the toe, Andreas Flinner, the first federal chairman of the Association of Podiatrists, recommends. Never cut the lateral edges, otherwise there are sharp corners that drilled into the skin. Good for fine form work are diamond or mineral files. They prevent the splintering of nail edges and seal small cracks with micro-fine crystals. Always file in one direction only, otherwise the edge will fray. Use nail oil or handy pencils with jojoba and neem oil to care for sensitive cuticles. With the soft tip of the pins, the cuticles can be gently pushed back. In no case cut.
Apply nail polish
The smoother the nail surface, the longer the paint will last. Before painting, the nails should be free of grease in any case. A layer of colorless base coat protects against discoloration. If the nails are already slightly yellowed, they can be bleached in a bubble bath with oxygen and lemon. Polishing files, with differently grained surfaces, also make the surface of toenails beautifully smooth, shiny and clean. Be as gentle as possible, too much sanding on the nail can cause grooves.

The new colors, the best shapes, the right care: we reveal all the tips for pretty nails. And tell me how to just dodge paint dusts.
In keeping with the feminine looks on the catwalks, the nails also become more elegant again: they run almond-shaped towards the front and are slightly longer overall. If this is too impractical for you, you can also wear it very briefly and file the pages a little more square. For both variants, adjust the course of the arch as far as possible to the shape of the nail bed? so the result is particularly harmonious.
Proper painting - step by step
About 20 minutes are needed for all steps? then the paint keeps really long.
1. So that the paint adheres well, degrease the surface first with nail polish remover. 2. To prevent discolouration, then apply a nourishing base coat. Let dry for about five minutes. 3. For bright nail polish, one coat is sufficient. You should apply dark colors twice? wait around four minutes in between. 4. About ten minutes after the last coat, the top coat can be applied. It protects the nail polish and gives even more shine.
D rather not
The first few minutes after application, the paint is particularly sensitive - so you should not touch it at this time. If it comes to an impression, help products that dissolve the paint and smooth again.
