With all the Christmas get-togethers this time of year you’ll want to look your best, but if you’re pregnant, a new mum or a worn-out mother like me, you might be feeling a little less than glamorous. So, with partners off to Christmas do’s whilst you stay in to babysit, what better time to pamper? This week treat yourself to a quick little pick-me-up with a home pedicure – and possibly a little face-pack whilst your toes are drying.
Painted toenails are your instant ticket to glamour – if you’re super pregnant and unable to bend to your toes enlist your mum, sister or best friend to help. Many a time I’ve been caught staring in utter amazement at a friend’s unpainted toenails, it’s one of those things you can’t take your eyes off!
Why not have a bit of fun this and try out a few at-home special effects. There are plenty of inexpensive products out there; Models Own make fab NailArt Pens that make really great little stars, try white or silver stars on a darker red, purple or blue, perfect for this time of year. Andrea Fulerton has a super pack of glitter puffs for you to play around with great for sparkly toes.

The only purpose of painted toenails is to hide dirt. No other reason. Any female who paints her toenails with acrylics or petroleum-based products is too lazy to look after her feet.
In the long term, she will end up with walking difficulties and will be begging disability benefits from taxpayers.
