Pedicure Essentials
It would be amazing if our feet always looked picture-perfect, but that's not always the case. Pedicures are hugely popular in the summer months but should be a consistent part of everyone's routine to prevent the formation of painful cracks, calluses, and ingrown nails. Our brand-new Pedicure Resurfacing Gel (coming soon) makes it super easy for you as a nail technician to effortlessly take care of your clients' feet, even those with diabetes or sensitive skin.
For now, let's do a quick scan of the tools, implements, and products that are your go-to during the pedicure season. These items are all selling fast due to the seasonality aspect, so we recommend purchasing ahead to avoid any disappointment.
Hygienic Pedicure Starter Kit:
Grab a cuticle pusher with a wide design to quickly and effectively push back those sticky cuticles on the feet. Use a high-quality nail plate cleanser, as adhesion is much better on the feet than on the hands and you should not need to use a primer. Ensure the nail plate is thoroughly cleansed before applying the gel product.
GELLIFIQUE WIDE CUTICLE PUSHER - £7.99A versatile rounded wide cuticle pusher and rectangular knife duo. Featuring a double-sided knife sharpening for precision, this tool offers a larger pusher ideal for wider nail plates. Professionally manually sharpened, it's recommended for both manicure and pedicure use. Complete with a burly non-slip handle for superb grip, achieving flawless nail care has never been easier.

It can also be used to cleanse the natural nails as part of nail prep. Does not contain moisturising additives, which could affect gel polish longevity. BUY NOW |
After applying your callus remover, our Pedicure Resurfacing Gel, you will need to work the product with a foot rasp or an e-file pedicure disk. We offer a handheld foot rasp (limited quantity) from Staleks, complete with replacement pads in two grits. These are ideal for a traditional and hygienic pedicure approach.

Best Gel Nail Products for Pedicures:
Feet don’t like pressure, and onycholysis on feet is actually very common due to tight shoes, for example. You will typically find these hollow areas on the big toe. For this reason, you should opt for an elastic base coat with the thinnest viscosity, which will provide minimal bulk and great adhesion. When choosing your gel polish color, select shades that look good on feet and are highly pigmented to keep the application thin. Below, we have made recommendations for the top six colors that are consistently chosen by customers in our partner nail salons for pedicures!
MICROCRYSTAL BASE COAT PLUS - £11.99Elastic base coat with thinnest viscosity makes this product ideal for pedicures and under any sculpting / building product. Its texture and elasticity helps the product quickly bind with the nail plate creating the best adhesion with all other products. Does not yellow. BUY NOW |
MICROCRYSTAL BASE AND TOP COAT DUO - £19.50Base coat is the first step in the Gellifique® System and one of the most crucial. Its medium hardness makes it a perfect base coat for natural nails, hard and soak-off builder gel application as well as acrylic gel. BUY NOW |
