Open toe season is here and a nice pedicure is the perfect accessory.

While nail salons are opening up, you may have a tough time getting an appointment before your next trip to the pool. So, why not try giving yourself a pedi at home? After all, in-salon treatments can get really expensive, so investing in some good tools at home can help you save money in the long run.
