At Home Pedicure Supply List



If you don't have time to go to the spa for a little pampering, try a pedicure at home. Here's what you will need:

  • Nail Polish Remover
  • Cotton 
  • Nail File or Emery Board 
  • Epsom Salt (at least a ½ cup) 
  • Cuticle Stick or Pusher (cuticle pushers and sticks can be wooden, plastic or metal)
  • Foot soak tub (Foot bath, pedicure tub, pedicure bowl, pedicure foot spa or a large bucket!)
  • Towels 
  • Nail Brush (old or new toothbrushes can work or a bath towel if you're ticklish)
  • Mechanical Exfoliant (Loofah Sponge, Pumice Stone) 
  • Chemical Exfoliant (Foot scrub cream of your choice)
  • Foot Moisturizer, with emollients 
  • Base Coat, Top Coat (clear nail polish can be substituted, and in many cases base coat can substitute for top coat and vice versa)
  • Nail Polish (color of your choice)
