| - I had tried everything. PedEgg, Amopei, BabyFoot, Korean version of BabyFoot, foot files, clippers, scrubbing with a rag, a $60 pedicure at my gym's salon... and still the bottom of my feet looked WRECKED.
I hate wearing socks, go barefoot as much as possible, live in the desert so naturally the bottom of my feet were rough - so rough my shoes were getting torn up on the inside.
I was so embarrassed to go out because while my nails looked fine, the sides and bottom were tough, scratchy and ugly. I was almost too nervous to get another pedicure in this condition.
Brian P. told me to go to Cute Nails because it's by our house. While the place could use a good dusting and wipe down, they SAVED my feet.
Unlike other pedicure places that use basically a fine grit foot file, I got the giant cheese grater like foot file with some sort of skin disolving solution on it. No joke, the poor girl doing my feet had like a totally mucked up file. When it was full, she stopped filing and finished up with regular glitter paint. ($38)
I had been growing my actual nails out so that I could shape them. Unfortunately I busted one off so I haphazardly chopped the rest off. I got them trimmed and painted with a few coats of glitter gel - they look great! ($25)
When I got home, I cleaned my feet as a safety precaution. I ended up taking a fine grit foot file and getting them completely smooth. I had used this thing with no results prior - luckily Cute Nails did the heavy work so I could go home and do the details at home.
My feet feel like they can breathe and I don't feel like a leper going out in flip flops now.
