If I can find time on the weekend, we like to give myself a mani/pedi.

Over the years, I’ve realized that I prefer home mani/pedis to any I’ve had at a salon—it’s just so much better to decompress on the couch with my favorite polish while catching up on episodes of The Girls Next Door .

These home treatments also guarantee that my nails are shaped the way I like them (short and square with rounded corners) and my polish covers the entire nail (all the way to the edges).

Of course I still like to be pampered at the salon but more likely than not, I end up walking away disappointed in one way or another.

To enhance this at-home ritual I try to make it as salon-like and relaxing as possible with scrubs and massage lotions. One of my favorites, OPI Manicure/Pedicure, is now available in two new flavors: Tropical Citrus and Cucumber.

Cucumber has a twist of pineapple and is my absolute favorite—so refreshing!

OPI Manicure/Pedicure scrubs and lotions are available online at OPI.com .

Bliss Foot Patrol AHA exfoliating & softening cream is the ultimate in foot care. With sandal season upon us, this is one product every girl should have in her nightstand.

Slather on a layer of Foot Patrol and slip on these Bliss Softening Socks for the smoothest, softest feet you’ve had all year. You can thank us later.

Keeping our feet sandal-ready all summer without spending the equivalent of our car payment on weekly salon pedicures can be tricky. (Besides, weekly pedicures are for wimps!) (Rich wimps–but wimps, still.)

Hot summer air wreaks havoc on our exposed feet, leaving us with dry heels and ratty cuticles in no time at all. Even with perfectly polished toes, we find ourself opting for ballet flats over sandals to save our neighbors from the horror that lies beneath.

Because we’re no wimp (and definitely not rich) we found a quick, easy solution for our summer-feet woes. Just minutes of daily maintenance helps our feet stay sandal-worthy without breaking the bank:

Lamisilk Cleanse Exfoliating Scrub removes dry, rough skin and leaves our feet soft and smooth. Used in the shower, this corn meal based scrub with a yummy almond scent keeps our heels exfoliated and looking fresh.

After we step out of the shower, we slather our feet in Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion, a fragrance free moisturizer with super-human powers. This fast absorbing lotion was formulated for extremely dry skin and is our go-to guy for skin issues. The key to this product is its ability to lock in moisture without leaving us feeling greasy. (Read: no sliding around in our slip-on sandals!)

Finally, we’ve told you this trick before, but we always apply a little cuticle oil to keep our cuticles looking salon-perfect.

Add a weekly trim and polish job, and everyone thinks we’ve spent the last hour in a pedicure chair reading US Weekly and dishing about Britney’s extensions.

Follow our three steps and you’ll have them fooled, too.

One thing we are not guilty of is under-moisturizing our feet. We must have six different butters, creams and lotions specific to the needs of the feet in our nightstand and we use them all on a regular basis.

No amount of moisturizing, however, can make up for a good sloughing of the heels. We’ve been faithful to our Tweezerman Pedro Callus Stone which has kept our feet soft and smooth between pedicures since we discovered it five years ago, but when we saw this Artemis Woman Heel Smoother we couldn’t resist giving it a try.

This handy little device is waterproof, so you can use it in the shower, and comes with two attachments (one for heels and a smaller, pointy one for around the toes.)

While the battery-operated smoothing stone spins at two levels, we found the ‘High’ setting to be less powerful than we expected, even slowing to a near stop when pushed too hard against our skin.

Overall this seems to be a handy tool (it is the first product of its kind to be selected to wear the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance), we just wish the smoothing stone were larger so we could cover more area in less time.
