Perhaps you've recently found yourself with slightly too much time on your hands. Or the opposite: maybe you have zero spare moments to care for yourself. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, when you do carve out the time to paint your own toenails, our job is to make sure you're set up for the best at-home pedicure possible.

Of course, a salon-quality pedicure is about more than just your favorite nail color. All those "extra" steps — shaping, filing, buffing, hell, even putting flowers in your footbath — can all help take a simple slap of paint over the finish line into a full-on pedicure. To help us learn to recreate the salon environment (and finished product) from home, we've asked professional nail artists to break down the steps to a picture-perfect at-home pedicure.

Start by setting up your workstation. Amy Ling Lin, nail artist and founder of wellness nail-care brand Sundays, suggests picking up a footbath for optimal DIY salon vibes. (This one by Conair is under $40 and works like a charm.) But if you don't have one on-hand, use a simple foot tub, such as the Mantello Foot Wash Basin, or simply a small amount of water in your bathtub.
"It's not very comfortable to bend down to reach your feet, so make sure to find a comfortable position wherever you are," says Lin.

Once you've found a new pedicure HQ, assemble the tools you'll need. For Lin, that means nail clippers, a nail file, nail buff, cuticle oil ("or body oil" in a pinch), and toe separator or paper towels to wrap around your toes, plus your top coat, base coat, and any quick-dry oil. (She's also created an at-home pedicure kit that assembles many of these tools for you.) You may also want a cuticle-pusher or wooden stick that can be used to push cuticles back.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Let's break it down.
1. Remove your old nail polish.
This step may seem obvious, but Lin says it's how you remove the toenail polish count. "Remove the nail polish before soaking, because once you get wet, the polish gets slippery" and harder to remove, she says. Tenoverten's Non-Acetone Polish Remover is a foolproof option that won't strip your nails.

2. Soak
"If you are giving yourself a true pedicure, and not just a nail polish change, soaking your feet is a must," says manicurist Mazz Hanna. "The skin and cuticles on our feet are much thicker than the skin and cuticles on our hands." A five- to 10-minute soak softens rough skin, which makes it easier to scrub away calluses and push back cuticles.
Not only does soaking soften your skin and nails for the forthcoming steps, but it's also a key part of what makes a pedicure so enjoyable. Lin livens up her at-home sessions with essential oils and mineral salt, but customizing your own bath is half the fun. These are some of our favorite bath soaks, which also happen to be recommended by dermatologists.
3. Slough
After your feet are nice and soft from the soak, you can use a foot or nail file, such as the Colossal Foot Rasp Foot File and Callus Remover, to wick away dead skin. "The back and sides of the feet can be a bit rough," says Lin.
That roughness is typically the result of simple physics, according to New York City-based podiatrist Hillary Brenner. "Every time we walk, we exert pressure from our body weight, and the friction between our feet and the ground can cause them to become dry," she previously told Allure.
To combat said dryness, first towel off the feet, then use a file at a 45-degree angle to slough away hardened skin. She recommends a 120-grit nail file for people with very tough skin, or less if your feet are already soft, followed by a foot cream or even simply a body cream to moisturize.
Try AmLactin's Foot Repair Foot Cream Therapy, which hydrates dry skin with glycerin while gently exfoliating with lactic acid at the same time.
4. Shape and Buff
There's a long list of fingernail shapes, but toenails tend to stick to round or square. "If you do want to do a rounded nail shape when you file, just push away the skin a little bit so you can get at the corners," says Lin. Again, file at a 45-degree angle.

Once you're happy with the shape, send a nail buffer (we like Tweezerman's Neon Buff & Shine Block) back and forth over each toenail to smooth its surface. Just as with fingernails, a buffed surface will help ensure a smooth-looking manicure with polish that sticks.
"Keep in mind that you never want to over-buff the nails," says Hanna. "Many buffers are double-sided and come with 100/180 grit on each side. Only use the rough grit side to remove imperfections that the smoother side won't take care of. And if you use the rough side, be sure to smooth it over with the finer grit side of the buffer before polishing."
5. Care for your cuticles
Jin Soon Choi, nail artist and founder of JINSoon, breaks this down into what you should do for your cuticles and what you shouldn't.
"Scrub them gently under running water with a soft brush and apply cuticle oil, which acts as a softening agent, while pushing back the cuticles," she advises. "You can also use cuticle remover, which also happens to clean cuticles really well, and push back the cuticle thoroughly."
If you don't have a cuticle-pushing tool (like this one from Etude House) handy, Choi recommends "using your finger no gently push back the cuticle" after a soak or cuticle oil has softened the area. "Additionally, anything rounded and smooth, like the end of a comb, the back end of your tweezers, or the cover of a pen, will do the trick. Just be to sure to avoid using anything that is too sharp or rigid to prevent damage and discomfort."
On the other hand (or the other foot, as it were), she advises against "trimming your cuticles, especially in excess, because over-cutting cuticles break the protective barrier that prevents bacteria and fungi from forming."
5. Paint
Before you start swiping on paint in your color of choice, Lin recommends using a paper towel to clean any oil, lotion, or other residue off the nail plate. "Polish will grab any oil on your nail plate, and it may chip easier," she says.
Once the nails are thoroughly dry, layer on your base coat, like Deborah Lippmann's All About That Base, which Lin says is "super important" to make polish last longer.

This is some advanced projecting, but there's a reasonable chance that it's correct.
I calculated 2 levels, first the $261000 mentioned above and another, $239000..
Not sure about the sequence yet, and probably won't post it if I do figure that out, but my guess is that these two will be the two legs of the monstrous double top that will form at the peak, which will likely be days, possibly weeks apart..
When you see the second one, that's your cue to short..

This is why I'm apparently the only idiot that asks questions when these red herrings are pointed out.. Besides that.. Why does it matter WHAT caused it? Next time will be different, so the whole practice along with every indicator in TradingView is backwards facing.. They're essentially just widgets that interpret and visualize the exact same historical price data.. It's completely pointless, since what matters is in the future..
What I'm saying, is that I don''t give af which wallet bought what from whose mother.. I don't care.. It doesn't tell me anything.. I can't trade it..
BUT..
Method does predict the future..
Which is why I knew this would happen..
Both the retracement, as well as the exact point from which it would start going up.. My waffle beats your waffle, I think..

I've been doing this for a while and I've never been offered satisfactory or even logically reasonable explanation for why these things happen from anyone.. I'm eternally grateful for this apparent defect in my programming, because deciding to figure it out for myself has become (eventually) the most fulfilling project I've ever started..
What is displayed in this chart simply cannot be human behavior, I'm sorry I will not, cannot, and refuse to accept it as the truth. Furthermore I don't give a turd WHY something happened. It does not matter because I cannot trade it.
Being "informed" of the reason a dump happened yesterday, is of no use.. I hate the air of superiority with which people are always bursting at the seems, unable to not spit out that piece of unrelated bullshit that's the new reason you can go to sleep thinking you're knowledgeable, informed, or "of the world" in a way that makes you special..
Well, here's some news.. You all do the exact same thing.. Bullshit travels nowhere faster than in financial markets, and "knowing" a piece of information that might afford you an advantage when it's being propagated and spread at lightspeed will not give you that edge.. Nor will it make you appear clever..
Even sharing any such stories immediately tells me more than enough about you..
Either you're a sheep, grazing on what it's fed,
You cannot think for yourself,
Are incapable of critical thinking,
Do not question anything,
Have no logical reasoning capability,
Are eager to claim street cred for repeating something you heard elsewhere..
You all put so much effort and enthusiasm into telling these stories that it makes me miss Christians.. They're not nearly as zealous, and you know why?
I'll tell you.. You retell these soggy stories so as to affirm your own beliefs in how things work.. To you, it's more important THAT there's an explanation, than for it to be correct, make sense, come with proof, or be useful in ANY way..
NONE of you have EVER traded a fucking news event.. Why? BECAUSE THEY COME AROUND TOO LATE.. I challenge you to try doing so.. Go on.. Tell me how a world event should be interpreted so meaning can be extracted for use in the crypto market.. Does it indicate direction? No.. Entries or exits? Um, also not..
Does it tell you which coin to trade? Huh-uh..
Well Pumpkin.. WTF IS IT GOOD FOR THEN BESIDES MAKING YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T CONTROL ANYTHING AND THE WORLD IS IN A CONTSTANT STATE OF CHAOS? It allows you to remain ignorant of your ignorance a little longer and perpetuate the stupidity year after year, from one generation to the next.. This also happens to explain why what qualifies as Technical Analysis on here is absolute bullshit with zero substance.. This is a place where the social media literate blind is leading the bleating blind..
Why don't you use that energy constructively?
Maybe it would have amounted to more than a bunch of lagging indicators and even fewer individual theories that cannot be replicated precisely and have no use because their application is not defined, because never was there ever anyone that understood what happens when and how to approach it..
For a long time I've been struggling with the question about what to do with Method.. How do I justify the time spent and overall cost it demanded?
Publish it, I thought.. Give it to the world..
Lol.. What an idiot..
The world doesn't want a tool that works.. They love their fantasy myths more than their gods.. Nobody will take you seriously..
You don't deserve it.. That was my conclusion..
I imagine it's clear what I think of everyone that holds these opinions.
Do with that whatever you wish..
This is the sad truth and state of affairs, but I don't expect anyone to be capable of admitting as much..

Seems the dump is either cancelled or on hold..
This works better for the bullrun anyways..
At this point it's not confirmed yet and honestly it's a bit of both, but there are sufficient requirements that have been met such as the 0.618 continuation retracement level being hit and no deeper, which is one of the signs that fits with what we've seen so far from BTC.. I have some concerns about its conviction to move beyond the ATH, but speculating on the matter based on incomplete data is pointless.. So, until I see indication or confirmation of either, we're on ice and I cannot advise any direction.. Play it by ear..

If it goes below 64k, tho, then I'm very much mistaken..

PREDICTION:
So, currently BTC looks pretty calm, right..
But there are a number of things that have been at play for weeks and I've had to wait for them to happen before I could confirm the next thing in line..
BTC had to reach 69650 and more importantly, it had to go above that price before it could be confirmed to be bullish again..
That didn't happen.. It's fallen short by a considerable amount before making this retracement..
Additionally, all the alts have completed double tops on the day chart, which is as strong of a reversal signal as you can hope to see.. Trust it..
Then, there's the fractal requirement.. In order for BTC to actually make the trek up and continue the bullrun, IT HAS TO create a strong bullish candle with a tall wick.. This requirement exists on the 1 week timescale, and what is on the chart currently could be waffled into shape in order to satisfy this condition, but the problem would be that these marker candles need to be significantly bigger than their neighbors.. Visibly different.. Remarkable, if not indeed "Rogue" candles..
That, unfortunately doesn't yet exist.. And it's the last thing that needs to happen immediately preceding the bullrun..
Which brings me to the current situation and the main reason why I'm writing this..
If I'm right about what's about to happen, there's gonna be a sudden tear downwards that will appear to have come entirely unexpectedly..
HERE'S MY PROBLEM WITH THIS:
When it happens.. Some tw@ is gonna comment on this post about the kak he heard from another idiot, who in turn got his information from the idiot before him, and so on.. It will undoubtedly be logically unsound and fail to stand even the most basic level of critical thinking, but, for some reason, this is just fine with the rest of you.. I don't buy that shit..
If it were because of some news event, I should not have known about it before it happened..

LIKELY MASSIVE BTC DUMP:
If it goes below $61440, then this is the one I've been on about for months..
Oooooh, I hope it does..

If I'm right, this is what BTC halving should look like..
Bitcoin is going to zero and you will lose all your money..
You should totally sell everything using a market order..
Just kidding..
