1. Soak your feet in warm soapy water or dettol or any other disinfectant. for a couple of minutes then pat them dry. Make sure that you cover your toenails thoroughly.
2. Remove any old enamel from your toenails with cotton wool and enamel remover.
3. Use your nail clippers to file and cut your nails. File your toenails to take off any rough edges, but only straight across.
4. Take your tipped orange stick and put some cuticle cream on, massage into the cuticles in circular movements. Clean the foot using nailbrush, foot scrapper and pumice stone. 
5. Re-soak your feet for a couple of minutes.
6. Again with your tipped orange stick apply cuticle remover to the cuticles.
7. Wet your cuticle knife to carefully lift the cuticle. 
8. Re-soak again and then dry thoroughly.
9. Apply a good moisturizer all over your foot and ankle take the time to gently rub it in. Also at this time you can lightly dust between your toes with a medicated talc or foot powder. 
10. Apply your base coat and wait for it to dry. Pick your nail polish and paint on. Don`t forget the topcoat for colored enamels.
11. Use your orange stick and enamel remover to remove all traces of enamel left on the skin to make a really neat job. 
12. Cotton wool pads can now be put between the toes. This is to avoid smudging-and the varnish applied, covering the whole nail and over the tip.
