Trying to mimic a salon-like pedicure at home is no easy task. But not having to leave the comfort of your own home — not to mention the savings — definitely has its allure. "The key to salon results at home are the right tools and a little bit of practice,” says Olive Van Iderstine, vice president of content and creative at salon brand Olive & June.  “At-home pedis are actually easier than manis. Set aside time every two weeks to dedicate to a pedi. It will not only look great, but this routine will keep your feet looking fab year-round." Working for the luxury Beverly Hills salon-turned-nail-care brand has made Van Iderstine somewhat of an expert in the field, so we tapped her to clue us in on how to get soft feet and a super neat polish job at home. Below, see her hacks for getting an at-home pedicure right.Nail the Perfect AngleFinding the right angles to pamper your toes might be the most grueling part of the whole self-pedicure process. Is there a certain angle that works best? Should your foot be elevated? There’s no denying your pedicure setup is key, says Van Iderstine. “You can't do a great pedi if your toes are out of view or you have to twist into a super uncomfortable position to reach them,” she explains. “If you're new to DIY pedis or need some help with flexibility, definitely go for the steeper angle — it gives you that extra lift and height."Olive & June has created the Posey footrest which positions your foot perfectly so you can see, and reach, all of your toes. The contraption, that is every aspiring self-pedicurist’s dream, is part of the brand’s The Pedi System.
