Getting a manicure and pedicure doesn't just make you look better, it can make you feel better, too. Whether you are going to a salon or doing your own manicure and pedicure at home, the process can be very relaxing. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to afford spa treatments such as manicures and pedicures. If you have never done your own manicure and pedicure, follow a few simple guidelines to get started.


Things You'll Need


  • Cotton balls
  • Nail polish remover
  • Hand soap
  • Basin or foot spa
  • Foot soak or Epsom salt
  • Towels
  • Cuticle softener cream
  • Wood cuticle sticks
  • Pumice stone
  • Exfoliating foot scrub
  • Lotion
  • Nail clippers
  • Nail base coat
  • Nail top coat
  • Nail polish
  • Nail file
  •  Pedicure
  • Remove any nail polish on your toenails. Use a cotton ball and nail polish remover to swab off all remnants of polish.
  • Soak your feet in a large plastic basin or foot spa. In addition to warm water, you can add an over-the-counter foot soak or epsom salts to soften the skin. Allow your feet to soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove your feet from the warm water. Gently towel dry your feet.
  • Apply cuticle softener to the cuticle on each toenail. Wait 3 to 5 minutes, then use a cuticle stick to gently push the cuticle on each toenail back.
  • Slough off dead skin cells with a pumice stone.
  • Trim and file toenails to the desired shape.
  • Wash your feet with an exfoliating foot scrub. Rinse your feet, towel them dry and apply a moisturizing lotion.
  • Apply a base coat to each toenail. Apply two coats of a nail polish and follow with one layer of top coat to protect from chipping. While your feet dry, sit still and do a home manicure.

Manicure

  • Remove nail polish from your fingernails. Use a cotton ball and nail polish remover rather than soaking your nails in a dish of nail polish remover, because soaking in nail polish remover can damage your nails.
  • Trim and file your nails to your desired shape. Some people prefer rounded tips, while others prefer square tips with rounded edges.
  • Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of hand soap. Soak your fingertips in the warm soapy water.
  • Apply cuticle softening cream to the cuticle on each fingernail. Gently massage the cuticle cream into the nail bed.
  • Wait 3 to 5 minutes, then use a cuticle stick to gently push back the cuticle on each fingernail.
  • Apply a base coat to each fingernail. Apply two coats of your chosen nail polish. Finish up with a layer of top coat.
    Massage lotion into your hands. Wipe each nail dry with a clean cloth.

THE cure for the dreaded Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) may be on the way soon with the report yesterday of two patients who were given bone marrow transplants to treat cancer remained free of the virus even after stopping HIV treatment. The results presented at a meeting of the International AIDS Society in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia may yield growing hope that the virus could someday be cured, not just kept in check with a cocktail of medicines as it is now. Giving an update in an eagerly followed trial, researchers said an HIV-positive infant in Mississippi, United States, who was put on a course of antiretroviral drugs within a few days of birth had remained free of the AIDS virus 15 months after treatment was stopped. In Boston, United States, two HIV-positive men who were given bone-marrow transplants for cancer also had no detectable virus 15 weeks and seven weeks respectively after stopping AIDS drugs, a separate team reported.
