2. Cotton
3. Toothpaste
4. Toothbrush

Dip cotton in a nail polish remover.

Rub on your toenails and remove your nails paints.

Now, apply toothpaste on your nails for 3-4 minutes.

Start rubbing your nails with a toothbrush nicely.

This will remove all the dirt from your nails and give your nails a whiter look instantly.

Now you need to trim and shape your nails.

You will need:

2. Nail filer

Make sure you cut straight across and don’t cut the corners too much, as this can lead to painful ingrown nails. Then use a nail file to give them the desired shape. A nail file is a tool used to gently grind down and shape the edges of nails. First, decide the shape of your nails so that you can file them accordingly.

Shapes (square, oval, pointed)

You can also add a few drops of essential oil of your own choice. These usually calm the nerves and give your feet the spa treatment.

Sit comfortably and soak your feet for (15-20) minutes.

Once the nails and skins have softened, clean the nails with the help of the brush, and use a pumice stone to dislodge dead skin on the heels.

Pat dry with a towel.

DIY Cuticle Cream:

• 

• 

1. Yogurt/fresh cream/any oil (1 teaspoon)
2. Honey (1 teaspoon)

Once your feet are dry, massage a little cuticle cream on the base of your toenails. While the cream softens the dead skin, again soak your feet for a few minutes. Now, scrub your skin using a pumice stone/ foot file. This will remove dead skin.

Now, remove the cuticle cream, and push your cuticles with an angled cuticle pusher. Cuticles are the soft skin at the bottom of your nail where the fingernail cartilage and skin meet. Never cut your cuticles. This removal of the cuticle helps your nail grow and promotes healthy nails. Be gentle.
