With an emery board, file your toenails smooth and straight across. Clean off any remaining moisturizing oil from your toenails with nail polish remover. Apply one or two coats of clear or colored nail polish. Let the polish dry for 15 minutes to let it set. If you can stay barefooted for a while, let your toes dry longer-preferably one hour.
Nail polish is especially slow to dry on toenails that have been soaking.
To prevent smearing the polish as it dries, you can buy reusable, inexpensive toe separators in the drugstore. Relax, watch television or read a book while you're waiting. All rights reserved.
