Peep Toes

Clean up those big toes and

skip the little ones that stay

hidden. Smooth edges with a

file, and preempt smudges by

slipping into your shoes before

you paint. This Sally Hansen

polish (top left) requires no

top or base coat.

Ballet Flats or Cutouts

Moisturize visible skin only—

so, just the tops of your feet if

you’re in f lats—to nix ashiness.

Then even out any weird dis-

coloration with an instant body

bronzer. (St. Tropez’s budge-

proof formula, at right, won’t

streak or stain your shoes—

even if you start to sweat.)

Slides

A slip-on style puts heels on

display. Remove dead skin

and rough patches with

this electronic foot file from

Amopé, above center (it’s

waaay faster than using a

pumice stone), then follow up

with a thick balm.

Try a Foot Facial

Patchology’s chemical peel (above) makes the roughest heels and calluses silky smooth, thanks

to a cocktail of exfoliating acids. Encase feet in the disposable socks for an hour, then wait a few

days. You’ll see shedding and peeling (gross but satisfying) during the next week. The end result

is feet that look and feel better than with any professional pedi. Warning: Fresh skin is prone to

blisters, so spritz them with PreHeels’ protective spray (top right) before you put on your shoes.
