On Tuesday's edition of The Early Show, Ji Baek from the Rescue Aromatherapy Spa in New York City starts at the bottom with your feet, and shows you how to make them perfect for wearing sexy, strappy summer sandals. For winter, keep toenails short because it's better for boots. For summer, toenails look better and add length to feet when they're longer. This is purely aesthetic. They are normally square and straight across, or square with rounded edges.
Some podiatrists say cut straight across and some say round the edges.
It's a little bit controversial, but if you are prone to ingrown toenails, round off the edges, it feels and looks better for them. To cut your toenails, you should use metal clippers and lightly buff afterwards with a buffing block. It's so hard to file down your own toenails, so you should cut your shape, instead of filing it, and then file and buff it afterwards. It's like taking a bath. Anything you have for the bath is good for the feet.
