Winter, the season for thick wool socks and cute boots, is coming to an end and spring is right around the corner. Let’s face it - we’re all guilty of neglecting our feet during the winter months and you may not be ready to jump into sandal season quite yet. I’ve teamed up with Amopé™ to bring you 7 easy ways to whip your feet into shape for sandal season. Save yourself a lot of money by learning how to DIY your own pedicure below! So far my experience with Amope has been great. During every bath I will use it soothe and soften my feet. I've been doing it consistently for about 2 weeks now and have seen a noticeable difference!

2-3 Minutes: Amopé™ Pedi Perfect
Skip the usual pumice stone and use the Amopé™ Pedi Perfect Wet & Dry Electronic Foot File. The foot file makes it easy to remove the dead skin around your feet, simply gently glide the Pedi Perfect over your dry patches for 3-4 seconds at a time.

I have been using the Pedi Perfect to smooth and soften my feet for the past few weeks now and I love it!

1 Minute: Prep Nails & Moisturize
Even out the shape of your nails by clipping and filing your toe nails. Moisturize your feet using your favorite foot moisturizer, be sure to rub the moisturizer onto your cuticles as well.

6 Minutes: Polish
Wipe off any oil left on the nails from the moisturizer with polish remover. Apply a base coat, your favorite polish, and a top coat. To speed things up, apply quick-dry drops after the topcoat.

Quick tip: 24 hours after your DIY pedicure, add another layer of a clear top coat for added protection on your polish to prevent chipping,
