This is really a 3-in-1 question:
what do I need to buy to give myself an at-home pedicure?
tips for an at-home pedi?
and what pedi colors are hot right now?
Thanks!

What you need to do is to go to this website www.thebodyshopathome.com then find a consultant, and contact her. then get your friends together and you can have a group pedi. and if your friends buy stuff you can earn the whole foot kit that comes with a bucket. For free. I think this is the best way to go.

OK , this is what you need to buy: polish, a topcoat, a foot scrub, pumice stone, and mousterizing (or however you spell that) body lotion, a shallow bowl. Tips: first soak your feet, then use the foot scrub. Afterwards use the pumice stone to get off any extra dead skin. Then use a little bit of the lotion. Rinse your feet 2 get off the rest of the lotion and start painting. Hot colors: the hottest color for toes are: coral( that's the most popular-i have it on right now!), lilac, and magenta. After u've painted your toes add cute little rhinestones!

These days its just easier to go and get a pedicure. They do such a great job at it....and its so relaxing. If you really want to do it on your own tho, you will need nail file, nail clippers, cuticle trimmers, pumice stone, pedi-bath to put in the water to soak your feet, cuticle cream to soften your cuticles before you trim, lotion, base coat, top coat and polish. The hot colors are bright pinks to deep reds.....

This is for a full salon style pedicure. I should do all of this pampering for myself!!
1 PREPARE
You will need a basin, a toenail clipper, cuticle oil, a nail file, an orangewood stick, a pumice stone, a towel, two plastic bags, toe separators, cotton, nail-polish remover, top and base coats, and, of course, polish. Wipe off old polish with an acetone-based remover to lift oil and any residue from the nail plate. Clip nails straight across, leaving a thin white edge, then file nails straight across.
2 PAMPER
To create a spalike foot soak at home adding a capful of your favorite milk bath (very hydrating) to your basin of warm water Soak your feet for 15 minutes. As you remove each foot, apply a touch of cuticle oil to the nail bed. Push cuticles back with an orangewood stick, then place your foot back in the water. Next, exfoliate. Dry one foot, then smooth your favorite exfoliator--even on your leg, if you like. Rinse and repeat with the other foot. Calloused areas should be scrubbed with a pumice stone.
To replenish moisture and make feet glow, try a mask. Apply a generous amount all over the feet. Wrap each foot in a plastic bag before covering with a hot towel for five to ten minutes. Rinse feet, then smooth on an ultrarich cream. Massage cream onto the legs in a circular motion, starting from the knee down to the foot. For extra pleasure and relaxation, apply pressure to the balls of the feet and arches, ending with the heals.
3 POLISH
Slip your toes into toe separators, and remove any pedicure product residue with cotton and polish remover. Then apply a base coat. The base coat acts like double-sided tape--it sticks to the nail and the polish. Now you're ready for polish. Can't decide on a color? The experts say when in doubt, look to beautiful reds and browns. Begin with a thin stroke of polish in the middle of the nail, then brush outward to cover the sides. Apply a second coat. Finish with a top coat for shine and to seal color. Allow at least an hour for your nails to dry.
As for the colors, look at the "hot" fingernail color displays in a store, use the same for your toenails.

buying the pedicure kit complete with filers, nail polish and toe spreaders works. The french pedicure is so in right know including a small design on your second to last toe. It's beautiful when it's finished. Enjoy!

A home pedicure is time consuming and expensive. I get it done at the salon.

By the time you buy all the stuff for it, you will have spent more than you would pay at a salon..I'd just go let the pros do it. =) It's cheap anyway.. like 20 bucks, if even that.
