How to do the French toe
Step 1: Soak your feet in a luxury foot bath

You may be avoiding the expensive salon, but you don’t have to completely avoid the pampering that comes with a pedicure. Soaking your feet in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes not only relaxes them, but also softens the skin and decreases the severity of unsightly foot problems such as calluses, bumps, and dry heels. After soaking your feet, gently rub the rough areas with a pumice stone, then dry both feet with a towel and generously apply a good quality foot cream or lotion. Following these steps will provide your feet with maximum softness and the results of a professional pedicure.
Step 2: Remove existing nail polish and trim and prepare nails carefully.
This is a basic maintenance step that, depending on the condition of your feet and nails, you may be able to skip. If you already have nail polish or shellac on, use a cotton ball and nail polish remover to remove any remaining nail color. (Note that if your previous polish was glitter or gel, you may need to rub even harder.) After that, use nail clippers to trim each toenail, making sure to cut in a straight line rather than in a curved shape, which could result in ingrown toenails. This is also the time to push back your cuticles to give your fingers a clean look. (Editor’s note: As tempting as it may be, cutting your nail cuticles can lead to nail sores and infections.)
Step 3: Apply white nail polish to the nail tips

Nights in white satin never end, but the white of a French manicure or pedicure focuses entirely on the tips. Remember this as you apply two coats of white polish to the tips of your nails. But don’t worry if you’re not Vincent Van Gogh. Because in the next step you’ll be arranging and perfecting the white striped art gallery, they can get a little sloppy (unless you started with that martini, in which case, who cares about the perfection of the lines?).
Step 4: Make your pedicure tips look beautiful
At this point, you might be cursing your decision to try a French pedicure at home and wondering why you valued a Michael Kors bag more than a professional toenail treatment. You will quickly see the error of your ways and forget the error of your white lines. To perfect and thin the white tips you’ve painted on each toe, simply dip your concealer or eyeshadow brush in acetone nail polish remover and use it as a small eraser. See? This is not so bad! (You’ve earned a martini).
Step 5 – Finish with a top coat of clear nail polish

You’re almost done with this easy French manicure! Simply wait a few minutes for the white tips to dry before applying one or two coats of clear or pure pink nail polish to each entire nail. And there you have it: the classic, sophisticated and affordable French pedicure of your dreams!
Of course, if this at-home method is too time-consuming, you can always buy ready-made French manicure and pedicure nail stickers from stores like Jamberry and Showynails. However, store-bought nails definitely cannot give you as much variety of creative designs as the ones shown below. Remember: “Practice makes perfect.” If you have mastered the art of the French pedicure, you are free to choose any design below and recreate it your way.
