At Home Spa | Pedicure

Good morning my loves!

I hope everyone had a great start to their week as I did! This bright and early morning I want to talk about at home spas. Now, I am doing a series of "At Home Spa" posts, in no particular order, because I absolutely love them. They are pocket friendly, easy, fun and very relaxing to do. I've been partaking in these for some time since high school and through my experiences and time I've come across some awesome products and have some amazing tips!

Soaking my feet.

This post is focusing on the pedicure portion of the "at home spa" because I had the most amazing experience ever. If you all don't know, my mother purchased me the Avon Foot Works Beautiful Lavender 5 Piece set last week and I received over the weekend. The set included: a comfort foot soak, clay mask, two overnight creams and a pair of gel toe separators (which I lost). I was curious to know how to have the "salon experience" without dishing out the cash, so once I got these products I was all over YouTube searching for videos and I came across an amazing youtuber: glaxaydreaming. Her video really inspired me to go out and purchase a few tools, which I did after work.

The items I used include:

• a 16x5 round basin
• towel
• paper towel
• two hand towels
• place mat
• Avon Foot Works Beautiful Lavender 5 piece collection
• Kiss Salon "No More Cuticles" Cuticle Remover
• Pedi Foot File
• PediPaddle Rasp
• Nail Brush
• Premier Nail Source Grey Wolf Nail File
• Toe Nail Clippers
• Cuticle Cutter
• Cuticle Pusher
• Toe Separators by Sally Hansen

Foot mask/exfoliator time!

The polishes used:

• Revlon Colorstay Base Coat
• OPI in My Chihuahua Bites!
• Revlon Extra Life No Chip Top Coat
• Sally Hansen Cuticle Oil

Foot bath looked and smelled amazing.

On to the steps I took:

1. First thing I did was fill my basin with the Avon Foot Works Beautiful Lavender Comfort Soak and filled it with hot water. I set to side for a few on top of my place mat (which was on top of the towel).
2. I used my PediPaddle Rasp and then my Pedi Foot File to remove any dead skin/calluses and smooth out my feet. Afterwards, I soaked my feet for about 10-15mins while watching tv and browsing YouTube.
3. I dried my feet with one of the hand towels I had. I clipped my toe nails and began to remove any cuticle buildup on my toe nails with my Revlon cuticle pusher, cuticle cutter and Kiss Salon No More Cuticle cuticle remover. I used paper towel to clean off the cuticle pusher and cutter as used and to clean the excess remover off my toe nails when done.
4. Once my toe nails where dried I filed them to my desired length and shape with my Premier Nail Source Grey Wolf Nail File.
5. I applied the Avon Foot Works Beautiful Lavender Clay Mask onto my feet and let dry for about 10mins.
6. Placed feet back into basin to remove clay mask and exfoliate my feet. I used the nail brush to help remove the mask from under my toe nails and to assist with exfoliation. The clay mask was a mask and exfoliator in one. The exfoliating beads were really fine and felt amazing.
7. I dried my feet off with the second dry hand towel I had. I put on my orange and purple toe separators by Sally Hansen and painted two coats of the Revlon Colorstay base coat.
8. I applied two-three coats of My Chihuahua Bites! by OPI
9. When color dried I applied Revlon Extra Life No Chip Top Coat
10. Sally Hansen Cuticle Oil was applied to my cuticles and massaged in.
11. To finish off the pedicure I applied my  Avon Foot Works Beautiful Lavender Overnight Cream and thoroughly massaged it into my feet and ankles.

This at home spa pedicure was definitely amazing and will become apart of my at home spa days every two weeks.

Pedi final results (sorry about the mistakes..lol)

I plan to do a tutorial using all the products mentioned (except for the polishes) in two weeks on my next at home spa day, so stay tuned for that. I plan to add sliced lemons and rose petals to the foot bath next time though.

What do you all think about this at home spa pedicure? Would you give it a try?
