Hey awesome ones. So it's time for us to work on our toes and our feet and let's
not make it a chore. I'm ready for some pampering some TLC so I'm going to show
you a way to work on your toes and your feet especially for those beautiful
sandals and flip-flops and we're gonna make a little bit of a spa date out of it
So have you ever had a pedicure? I can tell you that it's a wonderful pampering
luxurious time and it really is. It's something that really puts you in a
great state of mind. So that's what I want to do with this video. So let's set
it up shall we first of all I'm in a comfy robe.
Secondly quiet time, your time, don't don't give yourself like 10 minutes. I
got to do my toes, no.... you need to set the time aside a nice comfy chair a couple
of towels and maybe even some herbal tea or you could also go for that water with
cucumbers in it or something like that hey maybe even a glass of wine it's up
to you also a little magazine, you know one of those ones that you haven't read
yet but always meaning to get to it you haven't read it yet and let's cue some
spa music.....there you go, we're ready for the feet. So let's get real about talking
about our toes hey I don't have polished toes twelve months out of the year.... no
way I live in a cold climate in the wintertime and I'm gonna tell you, those
little tootsie's of mine our snug as a bug in a rug in my socks and actually I
don't even put polish on them during the winter months or even maybe late
December or late November, because I kind of like my little toenails to breathe
and I don't think it's a good idea to have polish on them all the time and I
even did a video about nails like these fingernails and I also said about making
them and letting them breathe a little bit as well. So I'll put that up there as
well. Now of course I'm going to clip my
toenails and all that sort of thing during the let's call it the hibernation
time for my toes, but hey they're coming out of hibernation right now and
I just went to the dollar store. I bought this
little bucket, certainly I don't want to serve a salad in it afterwards, so it's
kind of like my little foot bucket and I put some warm water in there and I'm
just letting my little toes....if you can see them they're....letting them soak a
little bit and yeah now you can put some epsom salts if you want to, but for me
I've just got some warm water and what I'm going to do right now is I'm going
to get to that magazine.... hey this is so appropriate isn't it. I'm gonna get to
this magazine and read an article or two maybe for five minutes and then
we'll get back to work on those little toes. Okay so now I want to give my feet
a little bit of a exfoliant....a little bit of a scrub and I'm actually using here
it's a face scrub but I don't know about you....my my toes and my feet are pretty
sensitive so I'm going to use this face scrub. What I like about this one -
its sulfate free and it's paraben free it doesn't....it's got all natural
ingredients as well....so let's just put a little bit of that on my hands here. Oh
see I sort of tell what it looks like there and over by my tea I've been sipping
my tea....it's been lovely....this is lovely and what i'm going to do is i'm going to
show you this foot here because you can really see, you know wearing shoes and
that i've got some some dead skin. I know it's gross but you know so we want to
kind of exfoliate and so just give ourselves a really nice little
exfoliation here and it helps of course if you've got the water and also move up
the calf a little bit and there you go, that feels nice really nice you get that
dead skin off. I'm wearing a new pair of shoes right now and it's kind of wearing
on my ankles there but oh the things we do to
look pretty.....alright so I'm just gonna scrub this these feet again give it a
good scrub up the the calves a little bit and yeah. Just rub my hands off here
because I want to talk to you again a little bit mmm......
Now if you're ticklish I'm sorry I'm not all that ticklish on my feet, so I
can certainly do this no problem, but it is a face scrub and I have used this
sort of thing before, so if you can't stand it and you're going crazy yes you
can absolutely skip.....that skip that step try to say that three times skip that
step and move on to the next part and what I'm going to do right now I'm just
going to get some clean warm water .Wash off all of the scrub and dry my feet off.
So now that my feet are all nice and dry this would be a good time to put on the
cuticle oil. Now this cuticle oil....it has its nail and cuticle oil and it's
enriched with vitamin E so yeah I'm gonna put that on my feet well my toes
anyway and by the way in the first comment of this video I'm going to have
a link back to my blog where I will show a lot of the products that I'm using
here so you can get them for yourself and hey by the way if you do get
something there we make a tiny bit of commission and it all helps us with our
videos so thank you very much if you're one of the people that are doing it and
we really really appreciate it so let's get on with the cuticles. So this comes
with a little applicator and it's real simple
I just kind of put this around the cuticles and don't worry I'll be doing
some trimming of my....well there's that little by little baby toe hides, is your
little baby toe hide - yeah I'll be trimming my toes a little bit better but
you can see there's kind rough skin here on the cuticles because
they've been under wraps during the winter months and we'll just put a
little bit I gotta go find that little toe again....always hides here here we go
yeah a little more these guys need their little cuticles
done. All right so put that back in there, now I get
another 5 minutes or so so I'm gonna sip my tea. I'm going to read my magazine
remember it's all about you today take that time and relax I'm going to. So
that's been about five seven minutes something like that so let's get back to
the toes and they'll....sorry I'm moving around a lot I know, but what we need to
do is just push back those cuticles. I'm not going to do them all, but I use a
little cuticle thingy like this and what I like to do is I like to first of all
push them all back and then go back and do them again. So in real time what I
would do is I would go back to those toes again push them back with this
little baby that I have here and there's a close-up of what it is and again you
can get this in wood as well and take all of the dead skin push it back and
also use a tissue. What I want to do is I want to clean up as much of that oil as
I can. Okay so it's buffing time and I found this great buffer, it's rough on
the one side and it's shiny on the other for the buffing but when I did the
natural manicure with no nail polish some people had commented, you know I just
gotta tell you guys, you subscribers and I just love the community so much
because you help me, you help others and a few of you said to me... hey be
really careful with that rough part of the buffer because you could
literally buff your nail right down so thank you so much for that and for all
of you, you know who you are, you are so special to Bill and I and little
Hurricane, so thank you for everything. All those comments I just love ... anyway
back to the toes, as far as my toes are concerned I think I was a bad girl I
think I did the summertime nail polish and I didn't actually buff when I
took off my nail polish off for the last time so you can see a little bit of
discoloration here and I've got some paper towel underneath. There we're just
gonna buff... see a little bit of that discoloration right off there and then
what I'm going to do...if I can reach that, just wipe it off with a tissue and
then I'm going to do this little buff.
This is good for, uh so yeah it's nice, that's looking ...now yeah buff small up so
we're gonna do that to all of them and just give them all a little bit of TLC a
little bit of buffing take all that yucky old, whatever it is off of there
Alright so as I mentioned to you usually during the winter I am clipping my nails
and I have this great clipper, here it is an actual toenail clipper with a little
little gizmo for cleaning as well and I absolutely love that. So my my nails are
pretty clipped but what I do have to do is I do have to file them and shape them
a little bit cuz they're gonna be out there and people are going to see them
so I've got a couple of files here that I can show you that I use also some of
you of our great subscribers again have mentioned that they use like a
crystal nail polish or sorry, not nail polish but nail file, so hmm sounds like
it lasts forever so there's a great find for you as well so I'm going to use this
little baby here and which one should I use I guess I just use this one here and
as you can see that my my nails have been clipped but I'm just going to, you
know just sort of shape them a little bit. Now don't go like this because that
gives you maybe hang nails, that sort of thing we don't want that but just sort
of go in one direction and then go in another direction now another thing that
I have been sort of watching is a lot of people want to just do this straight
across kind of thing and that's not my style, however I have heard that the
style that I do which is the kind of rounded look some people get, I guess
ingrown toenails and that sort of thing so it is your choice. I've been doing
this rounded look now for well a half a century and longer and I haven't found
any problems like that but you know just be careful in that respect and again
just make sure when you're sanding you have you know a good long nail file and
you're keeping it all in the one direction okay so these are shaping up
quite nicely and oh by the way... I've got paper towels underneath me to catch all
the all the fallout. Okay so I don't suffer from the cracked ankle thing
maybe it's because I really like to moisturize my feet a lot but anyway
there are these gadgets you know with some emery board stuff on them and
they are for, you know your cracked ankles, now again I have paper towels
underneath what you do is you just kind of well I actually do have some dead
skin there and you just sort of use this and take
off that dead skin so I'm going to do a little bit of that and I don't want to
touch this guy here because you know what that's let's just do that hard part
of the skin you know what I'm talking about can you say that, okay, yeah so this
little gizmo is great for that but before I did this video I went to the
drugstore and I really studied all the foot products that they had and they had
some great things for cracked ankles and the pictures of these
cracked ankles were pretty bad so oh and by the way I love going to the drugstore
and checking out some new things and I actually did, I think it was my top ten
drugstore finds so I'll put that up there while we're on the subjects of doing a
little bit of shopping I think most of them were under $10 but back to the
cracked heels. So they have creams they have lotions and they even have these
little socks and what you do is you put the cream of the lotion on and then you
put on these little socks and I guess you just put your feet up for a couple
of hours or they even said you can sleep with them and have them on overnight and
night I think you wake up there poof you don't have cracked ankles anymore at
least I think that's what happens . Alright so time to put on the foot lotion
I'm just using a body lotion here and I found this lovely cocoa butter enriched
with vitamin E so hey if we're going to have fun in the Sun a little cocoa
butter sounds like it's going to just do the trick for me, Yes you can buy some
special foot creams and some of them are peppermint and they smell delicious but
for me I'm just gonna do this and really kind of go up the calves a little bit as
well, hey it's pampering time why not? Again I've got up some paper towels here
as well and just really, really get in there and pamper those little feet with
the cream, so what we've got to do now is
to use a little bit of nail polish remover because soon we're going to be
applying the nail polish and that body lotion meant we just out put on
it's going to be a little bit oily so we're just going to go ahead and do all
the toes with a little bit of, oh well... Oh
make sure the stuff ...number one that if you have nail polish on right away you
will make sure that you are very, very careful removing... anyway to be continued..
Alright so now the fun part starts its nail polish picking time, every year
before I do my toes I go to the drugstore again and I really try to pick
up something super cool, hey you know what this you don't necessarily just
have to be on the safe side with this I've done years where I've used a
beautiful blue like this I've also used a beautiful purple, isn't that gorgeous
last year a lot of people were into these kind of almost fluorescent colors
and I used these on my toes last year, absolutely love them and I mean yes you
can be, you know get something that's kind of you know run-of-the-mill for
your toes but I just think it's so exciting to look down at your little
toes and it's something a little bit wild, a little bit different and this
year I'm going, because pink is all the color and if you did see my spring,,
summer fashion... I'll put it up there somewhere I really talked about being
pretty in pink so this is going to be going a lot with the wardrobe I'm using
but it's a little bit on the wild side and it's also a gel so I found myself a
gel you put this on and there's a topcoat with it the nice thing about
this is it removes with just your normal nail polish remover
you don't need to have a special lamp for it so this year I'm going with this
So just before I apply the first coat of nail polish I just use little cotton
batten cotton balls between my toes to separate them, hey and by the way this
could be a lot of fun if you're maybe with girlfriends you know having a bit
of a spa day or you know maybe you're a husband a wife enjoying this
kind of thing or with your daughters, it's lots of fun. The one thing just
before I get into the toenail polish though is really take a look good look
at your toes like if there's yucky fungus or something like that
how'd it looked at, have it taken care of don't just cover it up with a lot of
nail polish. Okay we want to keep you healthy out there, all right let's go
with this nail polish now be very, very careful when you start with a nail
polish you really want to take a lot of it off and there you go my toes are
ready here I'm just going to start off, this is hard to do when somebody's
watching you on camera but I'm just going to start off in the middle let me
just put that down you can see my toes are all nicely separated here and
there's not a lot on the brush and then I'm just going to carefully try to go
around that
and up now we're going to put another coat on so we don't really need to worry
too much about, oh well that's not a perfect coat okay and then just continue
on a little bit again to get a lot of it off put it in the middle first and then
turn it and around, around fix it up nicely later but you can see how this
separation - with the cotton swabs, oh there's that little baby toe that I
couldn't even see before but now it just allows it to poke its little head out
and get pretty like all the rest of them, alright I'll just continue the rest and
then I'll be back right at you Alright so hey the first coat isn't
perfect but I'm just gonna let those babies dry for probably about ten
minutes because this is gel and the nice thing about the gel by the way is that
they don't crack and peel and chip off like a normal nail polish would, they're
happy feet so the first coat is all dry now we've got to be really, really
careful doing the second coat so just sort of bring this foot up here a little
bit again take your time because this gel is going to last for awhile and we
just want to make sure that it's really pretty
Anyway I'm not gonna do them all right now but I I will take my time and then
we're ready for the topcoat now. I called it top coat but actually it's a sealant
and don't worry it's not black in color but this I don't know if you can see this here
but it says step one and this one says sealant step two so you've got to use
them together and it actually just looks it really does look just look like a
clear topcoat but because this is a gel it's probably going to really seal
in that color so let's take a look here as I did this toe here as I apply again
down the middle first as I apply the sealant and hey you know you might say...
oh you know I could do a lot better than with my toes, hey I'm no professional I'm
just, you know one of those people who say hey try this at home you know go
ahead and pamper yourself for the day and maybe you ju, you know you're on a
budget and you don't want to be going and getting the pedicures all the time
so by all means you know make a day out of it make an afternoon out of it and
enjoy yourself because you know what?... you deserve it so that's starting to look
really pretty, pretty in pink so I'm ready for the close-up and I put
on a pair of sandals to show you. I don't know I just think that these look these
little toes look absolutely lovely and yep flip-flops, nice sandals they're
gonna get me through and I'll just touch them up every once in a while
Of course there'll be days where I'll have to take off everything and then
reapply but what do you think? I love this color for this season
so somebody else who has to get his little toenails done is you little
Hurricane! Yes you do, he's got the tiniest little toenails but
he's got four legs so he's got like 20 toenails but we take you to the groomer,
take you to the groomer and they take care of all of that and it's a very
important thing also for dogs that they get their toenails cliped, so Hurricane
