@TheSalonLife what solution do you put on your nails after removing the nasıl polish?

[@SCFLEUR]

That polish removal was A+. I keep my toenails pretty short too. However, much of what is represented in pedicure spaces is a longer look which doesn’t really complement me. It’s nice to see a shorter nail for pedicures.

[@kimhanback1302]

I cannot handle long toenails on anyone. Just the thought is nasty.

[@ticktock1861]

never understood long toenails on humans..we don't run up trees or anything like that

[@OrangeMekuri]

​@@kimhanback1302my toes are uneven in height. I like feet with toe heights in descending order. Since mine are uneven I keep the nails a bit long to give the illusion that they are of proper height. It's not nasty when you keep it clean. In fact,our toe nails are cleanest because we don't touch anything with them. Unlike finger nails which we use constantly

I bought Kerasal on the internet, I couldn't find it in the store. It really did a big difference on my hands and feet. The skin on the back of my hands is quite ruined. Every winter the skin flares up, a little bit of cold, and it starts to crack and these scars became quite deep. Kerasal helped me smoothen the skin. It's much better now. I had a little bit of a problem with an ingrown toe nail, it looks like that Kerasal healed the infection and that the skin and the nail loosened, became softer, and suddenly I didn't have a problem anymore.

[@cherylstarr4239]

I am rarely satisfied with a pedicure result so i do mine at home. I do miss the massage part though…..😅

[@DiamondsRexpensive]

​@@cherylstarr4239I think we have 2 options: 1. Invest in a foot massaging device (No idea if it provides results as good as a massage from a massage at the salon, so research is recommended) 2. Exchange pedicures/massages with someone. You do it for them and they do it for you. I've seen employees at a salon do that before the official opening time of the salon.

[@MyLoVeLyMaN]

Thank you what a relaxing and informative video! I'm outside in a park today since the weather is finally summery in London and just did my pedi. For tools I have a travel kit by Twezerman, it's got a little pushy which was good enough (maybe not as sharp as the tool you're using). Didn't paint the nails, I quite like them natural if well cared for. I also like my toenails short. For my hands, I was obsessed with growing them very long, sometimes I still do, however I find short nail fit better my life style and it's easier to maintain them. Also my hands and feet are quite small so I find the short length quite balanced.

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you for writing! The tool I have in my kit (the manicure tool) has a very similar sharpness to Tweezerman Pushy. Majority of people do very well with this sharpness. Sharper tool can really scrape the nail
