After you have soaked your nails –trim and file them and make sure they are a soft square shape. Try to make sure that they look even so that they look great in your open toed wedding sandals. Never leave your toenails too long as they can easily become ingrown. After you have done this be sure to moisturize your feet so they look smooth and soft for your wedding day as well.
Make sure your feet are completely dry before you add polish or you may get an uneven finish. Whatever you do don’t try on wedding sandals before the polish is dry – especially if they are white.
