Tired of spending a lot of bucks at Salons? Here are some very simple steps to perfect an easy manicure and pedicure at your home.

» Clean your hands and feet using mild hot water and soap. Remove any nail polish using an acetone free remover.

» Take a basin filled with warm water. Add a few drops of shampoo to it and mix well. You can also squeeze a lemon into it or add a few drops of Dettol antiseptic lotion.Soak your feet/hands in it for about 15 minutes, gently scrubbing them using a soft brush and a pumice stone. Follow up with a foot scrub if necessary.

» Wipe your feet/hands and cut your nails straight across. Remove the nail cuticle using an orange stick after applying cuticle cream at the base of your nails. You can also use olive oil instead of the cuticle cream.

» Massage your feet and hands well using a good moisturizing cream.

» Apply a base coat first, and then apply the top color coat. Follow with the base coat once more for the polish to stay longer.
