Summer time means shorts, swim suits and sandals. Which in turn means shaving, waxing and pedicures. While it's nice to treat yourself to a fun and relaxing spa day every so often; it isn't always possible to make the trip. Which is where the at home pedicure comes in handy! 

Creating a spa like atmosphere right in your own bathroom is actually pretty simple. Why not try and DIY some bath bombs? Then read up on creating the perfect bath over here! When comes to the pedi portion, we've already given you the low do on how to properly give your toes some TLC so we thought instead it might be fun to talk about one of the funnest parts of the process: the polish!

Before we get ahead of ourselves though, as always, before you polish, you need to prep. Take a gander at our DIY pedicure and then may we suggest some of these fine items:

Now, let's get down to the nail polish! With all sorts of beautiful polish colours available this summer, it's hard to pick which one to use. However, we're equally as lucky in the shoe department. This summer, colour is in! The fabulous thing about colour is that you can play on it and pull a monochromatic or a colour block trend. Why limit yourself?
