To do the white take your time till you get the motion. With the white polish start on the left top where your free edge is and keep the brush still while you rotate your toe. (move your toe not the brush) That is my trick for the white tip.<br />Lotion- any kind that is for dry skin<br />Dirt under free edge- use a q-tip dabbed in peroxide. It will actually make your free edge whiter.<br />Cracks- if their from calluces, get a pedi file from a drug store of beauty supply and use that or just apply lotion to them every day after showering.<br />Push cuticles back gently with orange wood stick and use any body scrub on your feet.<br />One more thing, get a pumice bar and use that every day in the shower for smoother feet between pedicures.unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-10237910760102958102010-07-13T09:19:08.797+05:302010-07-13T09:19:08.797+05:30make sure your feet are clean and do not smell bef...make sure your feet are clean and do not smell before you get your pedicure. Its recommended that you should bring in your own pair of flip flops to wear after your pedicure instead of wearing those disposable paper flip flops that are given to you. Don't worry about it being your first pedicure. It is usually a fun and relaxing experience. You'll enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-32376086445424802102010-04-06T18:01:45.753+05:302010-04-06T18:01:45.753+05:30something you might want to try would be to put a ...something you might want to try would be to put a thin layer of tape on top of your toes. This keeps the paint from chipping off, but may be problematic when you try to take it off.<br /><br />Otherwise, I would just try file down your toenails so that they do not collide with the tops of your shoes every dance move that you do. If you have pointe, then wear socks in addition to your toepads (for some odd reason it partially works).<br /><br />In general try to keep off your feet and refrain from doing any unnecessary dance moves during your two hour class tomorrow. And remember if worst comes to worst, you can always do some touchups.Indiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-39520811361656265962010-04-06T18:00:20.744+05:302010-04-06T18:00:20.744+05:30try to make sure not to scrape your feet along the...try to make sure not to scrape your feet along the floor too much. if your allowed to wear dance shoes WEAR THEM. pointe shoes? add tissue to cushion it and prevent less scraping. also you could also put an extra layer of clear nail polish over your pedicureNaditanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-65687742092750401542010-04-06T18:00:20.745+05:302010-04-06T18:00:20.745+05:30I do my own pedicure all the time.

Give your feet a good soak, use a pumice brush and file yours heels, you don't want those looking raggedy if your toes look good.Take off all previous polish, clip nails straight across more square, don't round off greater chance of an ingrown nail happening. Make sure you use a base coat let dry then put on a really nice color close to the color of your dress, then a top coat to keep it chip free longer. Try a french tip on a high colorJeminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-41730241280531092852010-04-06T17:59:28.756+05:302010-04-06T17:59:28.756+05:30a good pedicure is easy to do. when washing you yo...a good pedicure is easy to do. when washing you your feet use a pummus stone to scrub all the dead skin off. after, towel dry.
