I found your weight comment extremely offensive and completely unnecessary for the post.

Like my hands, I can do one side well but then the other side is difficult. And if you’re on the heavy side and can’t quite reach over(I know…lose some weight) it is difficult. But I don’t think you necessarily have to go for a pedicure, but just need some minor tips on how to get the baby toe done. In what order should you work?
One thing, I’ll throw this out here, is that I use in between the toe sandals particularly for painting my toe nails so that if I make a mistake it doesn’t get on the floor. The other thing I do is: use the in between the toes separators.
I also try to wear sandals that don’t show the last two toes as much since those are the hardest to paint.
When I get real desperate, I just paint them badly and then clean up the paint around the nail with nail polish remover and a q-tip.
Any other tips on this forum will be appreciated.

Pedicure could never be SO luxurious!

Also, don’t use hot water to soak your feet, just warm. Make sure to wipe your feet off until they’re completely dry, and use an emollient lotion preferably formulated just for feet to soften and gently exfoliate your feet. Flexitol is a good one. Let the lotion sink in, THEN start applying your nail polish.
Also, a good way to get a natural exfoliation done on your feet is to go walking in wet sand on the beach – gets all the rough spots smooth. Wash off your feet at the fountain provided for that purpose (most public beaches have them, either in the bathroom or on the boardwalk) and give yourself a nice pedicure when you get home.
Good tips, TBF!

When I did my pedicure I did a little twist I used clothing detergent, it soften’s your feet a lot. My pedicure was good but I just can’t seem to paint my toe nails.
