It is never too early or too late to have that most needed pedicure. The toes are almost always covered, especially for those who have to go to the office, school, or wherever close shoes and/or socks are required. If you are in to experiment for the best shades for your toenails that will fit your attire, the season, or even your mood, you may consider this your cheat sheet for that outstanding toe-nail look.
For those who love to have a DIY pedicure, it may not be that easy considering the fact that your toenails have been hidden for so long. You need to prepare them well enough to have the toenails ready for the shade you think would be the perfect match for your attire or the season. Dead skin and cuticles need to be trimmed and buffed, after having them soaked in warm water. This would soften the skin and the nails and make it easier for the nail polish to stick to your toenails.
For those who would rather have a professional do the magic on your feet and toenails, your only concern would then just be figuring out what polish and color would give your toenails a high finish with a longer-lasting gloss. In either case, this is a must read.

Tips for A Professional Finish
If you prefer to be a DIY professional and opt to use one of the products listed above, make sure to consider these tips.
- Make sure that the toenails are perfectly clean, all prepared with a pre-primer before applying the base coat.
- Use a toe separator to make it easier to apply each coat with a nail polish brush.
- Rotate the nail polish bottle instead of shaking it to ensure that the formula is totally mixed, except of course if you are using a dip powder instead of a liquid lacquer.
- Make sure that you apply the nail liquids or dip powder properly with the pre-primer, base coat, nail polish (or dip powder), and the top coat.
- Allow the nail polish to dry properly. Keep it your feet away from anything that will smudge or wipe the polish off your toenails.
- To make your newly painted toenails picture perfect, ensure that there is no visible paint on your skin especially on the edges near the nails. Use a thin stick covered with cotton dipped in polish remover to remove any excess nail polish.
