The Princess of Polish..Mycocide Review

Mycocide

Callus Exfoliating Foot Cream by Woodward's

Review

I received several products by from a PR representative to review.

The box was filled with products from Mycocde. One of the products was called Mycocide NS Antifungal Treatment kit. My father took one look at the box and ran away with it ( i didnt ask). But, prior to receiving the treatment he kept complaining about his toes..I haven't heard anything from him since. I would consider that a thumbs up ( i guess) . I also received the Mycocide nail whitener which I decided not to try because, the last time I tried a nail whitener it made my nails really weak and the product ( not by Mycocide) also smelled like bleach. I didn't want to take that chance. If you are like me and paint your nails all the time the best ways to prevent your nails for staining is the proactive way use..BASE COAT!

Finally, I DID use the Callus Exfoliating Foot Cream. It worked just as described. I used the product daily for two weeks. I don't have really callused feet but, after wearing flip flops all summer this is the best time of year to give you feet some extra TLC. I liked that the cream is exfoliating, I could feel may callused skin washing away ( I am addicted to anything with exfoliation). I liked the cute little foot file that came in the box. I didnt have to search around my house looking for one ( that's a plus). Overall, I liked the Exfoliating foot cream .

I already have a few friends who will be getting an extra treat in their holiday stocking.... ( their feet will thank me!)

Have you tried any Mycocide products? LMK

The Princess of Polish ..Pedicuring 101

The Princess needed something to do ,

Pedicuring 101 for me and you.

The Perfect Princess Pedicure

Tools: Here is a list of the things I like to use for my personal pedicure. You may opt to use some items ,all of the items or nothing . You may know something about pedicures that don't or disagree with something I wrote. I am learning and would love your comments and suggestions or advise . The important things is that you safely take care of your feet and in return your feet will take care of U.
Polish Remover: You can use any nail polish remover. Most articles that I've read state the you should use non-acetone polish remover. I disagree. I use ACETONE, ( yeah, I said it ) acetone polish remover by Beauty Secrets. Personally, I think it works better and I like to remove my polish quickly.

Cotton Balls: I use regular cotton balls. I don't use extra large of fluffy. I don't need coco butter added cotton balls, I just want regular old fashioned cotton balls. I accidentally bought some extra large cotton balls from Sally's last week and I have to literally cut them in half each time I need to use one ! I will buy pink cotton balls occasionally... ( well, I am a princess after all). Toe Nail Clipper : I am always buying a toenail clipper. I am not particular to any brand in particular. I never use a nail clippers, even on my hands. They are just to small and I'm afraid of them.Cuticle Remover: I like jell cuticle remover. I recently picked up a bottle of Cuticle Away y by CND. I really love it. If you use cuticle remover, be sure to use sparingly and wash it off COMPLETELY once you have pushed back your cuticles .
Nail Brush : I always brush my nails with a nail brush. I usually buy a new one once a month. I keep a nail bush in the bathroom and when I wash my hand I bush my nails ( if they are not polished, of course) .
Nail Pusher : There are several types on nail pushers on the market. I like metal pushers . I don't push with a orange wood stick because , I think it will give me splinters. I don't know the brand of my pusher but, the end that's used for pushing is rounded to fit the nail. I suggest trying several pushers until you find the one you like.
Moisturizing Lotion: A good moisturizing lotion is really important, I suggest going to sally's and looking for something just for pedicures. It really really makes a difference.
Tub: I don't like to use a fancy pedicure tub . I use a regular tub that I bought from target for about $3.00 .
Sea Salt: This is optional but, it Sea Salt helps to relive tired and ache feet.
Liquid Soap: You can use any type of soap . I uses antibacterial soft soap. Vanilla scent.
Nail Buffer: Select your favorite Nail buffer. I Like the white ice block. Sally's
Towel: Now, here is where I like a nice fluffy towel to wrap my feet up with
Emery Board: no explanation needed
Olive Oil: I like olive oil ( any brand) but, baby oil will work just as good. Please don't use cooking oil ( I just think that's gross)
Toe Separator : Sometime , I splurge and buy two separators with glitter or funky shapes. I don't really understand it but I love those things.
Flip Flops: I usually buy some cute pink flip flops because , I cant stand the thing that goes between your toes and a cute pair takes my mind off the pain.

The Pedicure
Step One: Take the pedicure tub then add approximately 1/4 sea salt and 5 squirts of liquid soap and a cap full of Olive Oil. Fill tub with warm water and soak for 5 minutes. Dry feet lightly.
Step Two: Take the polish remover and cotton balls and remove the polish ( if needed). I like to remove the polish after the 1st soak. The polish comes off a lot easier that way. Clip & file toenails if needed.
Step Three: Place feet back in the water for 1-2 minutes. Remove one foot apply cuticle remover, lightly push cuticles , never clip you own cuticles, place foot back in water and repeat on other foot.
Step four: I typically use a sugar scrub but ,you can use any kind of foot scrub and scrub both feet . Take nail brush and brush both feet thoroughly. Remove feet from water.
Step Five:Lotion and rub your feet. You can use any lotion however, I use pedicure or massage lotion. I went to a nail salon the other day and they used some smell good foo foo lotion that went dry and was not comfortable during the massage (just a suggestion). Apply cuticle oil to your cuticles.
Now, your feet are ready for polishing. Put on your flip flops and toe separator before polishing. Doing a pedicure on yourself is fun but, it also requires time. If you have some pedicure tips , please share...

Tiny & Toya update:

I didn't think I would like this show at first but, I think ( not really sure) that I do. I cant stand Tiny's voice but , I do like her. I do appreciate the LUV she has for her family and friends. I cant help but hope the Toya finds happiness with her life without Lil Wayne as her husband.
