Give Yourself a Waterless Pedicure for Salon-Worthy Nails That Last

There are endless ways to customize your pedicure, whether that be changing your nail colour, adding a new nail design, or trying out a waterless pedi! A waterless pedicure is just like a traditional pedicure but with no water. This week in the blog, we are sharing the benefits of a waterless pedicure and how to give yourself a waterless pedi from home for salon-worthy nails!

Why Should I Start Doing A Waterless Pedicure?

When you give yourself a traditional pedicure, you soak your nails in warm water before trimming your nails and pushing back your cuticles. However, when you soak your feet in water, the nail bed absorbs the water, becomes damp, and expands due to the water absorption. This can cause issues with your pedicure as once the nail returns to its natural shape and size, the polish cannot move with the nail—which can lead to chips in your pedicure! To give yourself an at-home waterless pedicure, we recommend the following steps:

Step 1: Exfoliate Your Feet

The first step in the waterless pedicure routine is making sure your feet are exfoliated. To do this, we recommend using the butter LONDON Signature Glass Pedicure Tool that gently sloughs away dead, rough skin, corns and calluses for smoother, healthier-looking feet without needing to rinse anything away! Made from durable Czech Glass, this reusable, environmentally friendly Callus Remover & Foot File features a 2-sided surface that works well on dry or soaked feet. The special abrasive surface sloughs away tough, hard skin on feet, while the smooth surface polishes the look of skin.

Step 2: Push Back Your Cuticles

Next, after exfoliating your feet, apply a layer of Melt Away onto each cuticle and let it sit for 60 seconds before pushing your cuticles back with our Signature Glass Cuticle Pusher 2-in-1 Cuticle Perfector. This Cuticle Exfoliator gently removes dry, overgrown cuticles eliminating the need to ‘clip’—no cutting required! Formulated with Irish Moss to help soften the cuticle and Potassium Hydroxide to help exfoliate, Melt Away gives you softer, healthier-looking cuticles in no time!

Pro Tip: Wipe off any residue with one of our Nail Scrubbers 2-in-1 Prep & Lacquer Remover Wipes to help prep and condition your nails.

Step 3: Prep and Paint Your Nails

Once your cuticles are prepped, it’s time to apply nail lacquer! Start with a layer of Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat to help protect nails against future damage and help prevent nail breakage and let dry. Next, apply 1-2 coats of a butter LONDON Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer of your choosing. Once your Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer has dried, add a layer of Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat to help extend the life of your pedicure with an ultra-glossy, brilliant high-shine finish and let dry to complete your waterless mani!
