Can I just say thank you... I’ve always been insecure about my feet. I tried to shape my nails but I didn’t realize I left my toenails to long. I thought I had ugly toes. It’s such a simple task but makes a world a difference. I discovered my nails flair out giving that undesirable grown out shape and after following your tutorials I love the look. Self maintenance is so important. Thank you from someone who didn’t grow up with girls😭
youre very welcome sweetie!

The fact that I was just talking about how I needed to give myself a selfcare day and do this is insane. Perfect timing 💛
I just did that today. With a Glass of Prosecco as my feet soaked
I just noticed we're always watching the same videos, any video i watch it's ur comments 😂
Why are you everywhere😭
@@M4angiefrfr i see this girl everywhere its so creppy its been 2 years w💀
Currently sitting at a nail salon waiting for my toe nails to dry.....pissed cause of the bad service. I'm like nope! No more! Just found this video. Thanks! Will be ordering the thing I need!
Same!!!!! This is why I'm gotta learn to do my own.. cause I can't anymore.
Me currently… glad I found this video!
The proximal nail fold is not support cut off. It protect you nails. If you go to a nail salon and they do that; you might get fungi
I just want to say thank you. Your vids have helped me maintain,repair, and grow my fingernails to the length of long full cover nails. I use natural colored gel, clear hard gel, and silk. Thanks, sis
yw! 💕
I'm 28 and never had a pedicure due to fear 🙊 . I'm looking to change that today , thank you for the video. Very helpful
yw! 💕
You could lecture the most boring subject on Earth and I’m sure I would absorb all of the information. The way you deliver information is extraordinary! 😍
youre too kind ☺️
Summer pedicures are the best. As much as I like to take my time to pamper myself, I haven't made the time for me. I decided to outsource this service to a nail salon. I got a jelly pedi past month, so it's about time for another. Can't wait😁😁😁
Watching your channel challenges me everyday to be “that girl” I need the motivation 😭😭❤️
i wanna be her too, but im nowhere close rn 🥹
Your videos are always so satisfying. I actually bought that travel kit from Ulta a few weeks ago and was surprised by how handy it is. Totally agree about the awesomeness of that cuticle nipper. Looking forward to the next video ❤️
right?! like im so glad i bought it, really is clutch.
I really liked the glass foot file you featured in a recent video. I don’t have thick calluses and I found it perfect for that.
glad youre enjoying it! Ive been liking it too for my in between pedi routine
Thanks! Going to learn how to do pedicures so I can do my wifes feet. This helped a lot
very nice of u
I'm with you. My wife asked me to do it for her. She talked me through it as I did it, but I definitely need to improve, because it took me a LONG time to do it.
😂
Bless the both of y’all.. 😌 I hope my future husband will do this.
That's so wonderful
Wholesome comment ❤
This is super informative. I have an event tonight and don’t want to get my feet professionally done. I have faith I can do this😊
yes u can! have fun tonight ♥️
I've never, ever had a pedicure (don't judge me yall 😩), but, I would come to wherever she was to be blessed with one if she ever decided to service others 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤
flattered 😊
No judgement here. My feet look like I've never had one right now.... So there's that. I'm getting to it immediately tho
I’ve never had a pedicure, and never really learned how to use the pedicure kits.
I’ve been self conscious about my feet since I was a kid, my birth mother would make negative comments about my feet since I was around 5-6yo, she would say things like my toe nails look like spoons and how I could eat with them. I never understood what she meant but knew it wasn’t good. She made other jokes at my expense and never taught me how to care for my feet or nails. I would hide my feet because I felt embarrassed.
It wasn’t until I was in foster care that I got my size checked and found I was wearing the wrong size (2 sizes too small).
My husband knows I’m self conscious about my feet and when he gives me foot rubs I tend to pull away because I’m afraid or ashamed he’ll say something negative. Now that I have kids and go to the water parks and play with them I want to feel more confident. I want to teach my little girls and make it fun, they love getting their nails painted especially in the summer.
I’m glad I found your video and can’t wait to see the next video!
Im so sorry that happened to you, and Im proud of you for taking back your power and confidence. Every body is beautiful!
it’s me! i’m the one who needs the tweeze cuticle clippers! i was just thinking the other day that i needed something other than the scissor-like ones cause they hurt my hand. kismet!
was hoping theyd come in handy! 👏🏽
I went to 2 separate nail salons and both disappointed! I said today no more I’m going to RUclips! And I found myself in your channel. Your step by step was so enlightening, I’m doing my own. Going to a salon in 2023 for $30 plus tio wider not worth it! On top of language barrier and they convincing you to no chip and any other product. I ended up going back as to nail salon to demand they redo nail color as it was chipping off and I had it just done day prior! They were rude and treated me like I was bothering them and said get no chip next time?! I’m done! I’m settling to do my own. Thanks for the video.
srry to hear that. nothin like wasting ur money to motivate you, but u got this!
Yay yay a self care vid!!!! Thanks A and happy belated blessed birthday my fellow Gemmi sis 😍🤩. I hit my pedicured big toe Mon and it cracked a little but I removed the polish, filed it down a bit more and oiled, base coated, and reapplied polish👍👍. So soothing and looking forward to the finished Ped🤩
Thank you! and same to you 💕
@@abetweene 💖💖
Definitely treating myself for Valentine’s Day !
How did it go? Im curious because I'm thinking of doing a spa dates for my girlfriend and I--or at least a basic pedicure and basic massage somewhere
Love it!! Would you possibly be able to make a video about the snacks you like? I sometimes have trouble choosing what to eat between meals because I'm easily overwhelmed by all the options.
My toenails have been looking horrendous (not fungal, just unkempt) and this video is going to help me so much! Thank you! ❤
yw! 💕
Idk why but i can't cut my nails in a uniform manner, i always grt the urge to cut the white part ( the growing part) and then they get so irregular . Help 😭
Thank you! I hope to get motivated to do a pedicure on myself! I am looking forward to the next video!
Much love Bella 💕
my pleasure Bella; i hope you get motivated too ♥️
LOL! She said "we're crusty." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Girl, I hear you! Doing my spa day TODAY.
Thank you this video is right on tme as I'm looking to do my own pedicures 😊❤
Hey I would just like to give you a huge thank you! I didn’t know anything about this and now I’m more educated 😂. So thank you again. I’m going to take care of myself.
yw 💕
Your pedicure videos are always among the very best on YT. Always well shot and detailed, always starring your superstar beautiufl feet! Too bad though, this time, the (best) part relating to the exfoliation /dead skin removal process is limited to a few seconds.
Great! I’m inspired to do my own pedicure. Save money versus going to the nail salon because I hate waiting too lol. I get anxious.
This is very timely i saw a Tik tok about getting pedicures at the nail salon 🤢so now I’ve been slowly buying the stuff to do my own although i like the pampering
yea, im kinda afraid of most salons at this point. lol
Yes! I miss the pedicure and beauty self care videos! Please do more!!
You do such a great job, with the presentation and the information you provide
thank you!
My pleasure
Love these videos, they’re so therapeutic! 💕
The callous shavings look like Parmesan cheese

@@antonio290571 🤢😂
Do you have a link for that set you featured with the little cuticle pusher and nippers? Thanks 🥹
The best on you tube imo .
ty! 😊
pro tip to prevent injury: soak your feet in hot water mixed with baking soda to soften the skin before shaving the calluses :) It's really hard to do it properly if it's not softened and can lead to deep cuts
please don’t. the skin will be very soft yes, which will therefore make it much easier to slice too deep with even slight pressure not to mention a bit slippery.
Wow. These seems very relaxing. I'm going to try doing this.
I am going to give my mom one for mother's day and bought a heater foot spa recently .
lucky her
curious - how come you don’t use a cuticle remover/dissolver to take care of the dead skin on your nails before pushing them?
Sometimes i prefer a dry mani so i can best see what “needs” to come off. In other videos youll notice sometimes i use cuticle softer er, and sometimes i dont, but ultimately i do both techniques and pick and choose based on what i have time for/want to do that at that moment.
Just removed my gel pedi i got done at the nail salon, my nails look so damaged… peeling, dry… could you do a care routine after removing gels/acrylics please !
I sure can!
FYI, the back and forth motion during filing might be contributing to the cracking of your nails later on. Better to file in one direction.
its not. ive done trials of filing in one direction, glass vs traditional, steel etc, and it made no difference for me.
Can’t believe I’m watching this while drinking my morning cafe ☕️ lol
lol
The calluses is made because your shoe's are not comfortable try to wear pads in your shoe's and use more cream to treat the skin, if you remove it with a blade it will appear again and more thicker, use an abrazive file for it after scrub
my shoes are comfortable and padded 👍my calluses are caused by gait and therefore why they will reappear. theres no cream that will change the way i walk.
every time I hear you pronounce your profile name, I cackle...cause before I actually heard you say it, I was telling folks, "You really need to follow Abet Weene..." LOLOLOLOL
😂😂
I always take care of my nails and footnails using the same equipments get rid of dead skin and corns on foot
For the callous part, I use my mom's cheese grater. It works.
I really enjoyed this video.
I’m a nurse with flat feet. My toenails look like eagle talons. 🦅
Caught a fungus from a nail salon years ago and am scared to go back.
Thank you for this.
yw!
You did such a great job! Those nippers look gentle. They didn't look sharp. I am about to graduate from nail tech but have not been able to master using nippers. A big part is the fear I have of cutting someone. How did you manage the nippers when you got to the inner corners of the cuticles without cutting?
thanks! for the corners i use mostly the tip of blade since the jaw is on the wider side. It also helps to hold the lateral folds taut to expose more of the side walls. For really deep nail folds and corners, a smaller jaw (1/4”) is more ideal imo
What did you soak your feet in at 6:07? Thanks for your content and thanks in advance
a bath bomb
I loved everything about this video !
This is why you are the best!!! Thank you for your amazing videos!
aww, thank you!
I have a hard time doing my toenails, I have two knee replacements and it’s uncomfortable to get close to my toes. I do like you said I sit in a chair and rest my foot on another chair to work on my feet. I would love to be as good as you are with your cuticles.
well i hope you get to experience the pleasure of having a professional pamper you, and rest yourself.
@@abetweene thank you
Is that just dried out callus you're cutting at 2:50 ? And how do you know how far to cut ?
yes. the best i can explain it is i can see a shadow, like how u can see how thick a drinking glass is.
Thank you for this video, how often are we supposed to get a pedicure ?
Am here to learn because am I want to start a pedicure business
Thank you for showing in great detail ❤
yw!
Yeah at this point, I’m going to learn how to do nails do I don’t have to pay someone else
Be careful. Follow certified nail specialist. I would do more research if i were you
@ladyMariele I have. For years and I take a little of everything I have learned and toes have lasted longer than any nail tech
@@ladyMariele but I totally agree with you that more research for the everyday diyer
Literally just ordered a pedicure nail tool set 🥲
Omg thank you sm this was so helpfulll

Your video is saved in my grooming section.✨It s perfect. Can i just ask where can i find the cuticle pusher? It s not on the site
thank u 😊 of course, here ya go! amzn.to/3LLvxE6
Hello, I would like to inquire, does your video have a yellow restriction mark for advertising
6:06 what's on that water?? Does it have a special product?
Really liked the vid, my foot nails also tend to break
i used a piece of a bubble bar from LUSH. i think it was called matcha something.
@@abetweene thank you ☺️
yw
I love your videos, the process is so real. I'm going on vacation and I too am crusty and long overdue for a little self care day.
take care
aww thanks! where r u travelin to?
@@abetweene Tunisia for a whole month. I did my pedicure and manicure shortly after watching your video, I feel so nice lol my sandals thank you
Oooo, that sounds amazing. enjoy!
What solution did you soak your feet in and what oil did you use as well? Thanks 😊
just warm water & soap usually but i added a mactha bubble bar wthat changed the color and i use jojoba oil
Once I heard you're never supposed to go left and right when filing. 😬 Cause it can cause splitting and cracking.
Instead to go one direction and lift up, and go again in the same direction .
ive heard that too and experimented with exclusively using that technique for almost a year. ultimatey it didnt make a difference.
Oh bummer! I thought I had magical info to help your splitting. Oh well. Thank you for encouragement to do my mani, tonight. 🤩
I wouldn’t advise to cut the sides of the nails so short. Ideally you want them to be longer and growing straight forward to avoid in growing toenails which happens easily when cut too short or shaped. Cuticle should never be cut off! This is there for protection and your body will regenerate more thinking that’s what you need, until it dies. I’m a beauty therapist and just trying to help 🙏💕
thats the point. ingrowns dont grow straight and forward, they grow sideways into the lateral folds and thus need trimming. shaping the free edge doesnt effect it because growth starts in the nail matrix (beyond the cuticle area)
I have 2 of these nippers and love them!
I love your videos, I need those cuticle cutters ASAP!
Thank you ! What’s in the foot soak ?
just warm water, i think epsom salt, and a matcha bubble bar from Lush
Did you use any cuticle remover product? I didn't catch. Would really like to start doing my own nails
in this instance i did not, just soaked my feet first.
hey, first of, thank you for this video. i was wondering how i should deal with a darkened nail/ thickened nail?
youre welcome. Thick nails can be filed and buffed to make them less bulky, so if the top layers of nail are what’s causing the discoloration that will be taken off with it.
This was extremely helpful thank you!!

Im a 25yo male. I've never had a pedicure before but maybe once a week I'll take 15-30 minutes doing whatever to my feet. Most of the time I just do what feels right but wanted to look at real foot care. I want to get a pedicure since I'll be going to Miami and the Bahamas on a cruise soon. I want to look sharp and clean. I want grown women jealous (or at least recognizing) the foot game. Not only for appearance but for health
👍
Where can I get those tools for my pedicure? Happy 😊
theyre linked in the description box where it says Shop This Vlog. the box is below the title, just click see more to expand it so all the info is visible
Ma'am i needed this thank you so much also i wanna ask will it affect my nails if i just do the whole pedicure process but skip out the polish and nail extension and like everything else?
yw! no, its fine if youd prefer to skip polish, etc. just condition your skin & nail with the cuticle oil
This is excellent. Very well done, thank you!
thanks
Was the tub you put your feet in just hot water or mixed with stuff?
i added a lush bubble bar for funsies
😊 i love your are pedicure manicure videos ❤🗽🇺🇸👍
I wish they did this at the salon! Like way to get good foot care
some places do depending on your area
@@abetweene do u know where?
you can type “nail salons near me” into google to see who’s in your area, then visit their website or call & ask if they offer full service pedicures
@@abetweene thank you!
yw!
Hello I'm new here but girl how just how do you use the cuticle clipper its so hard I just cannot get it without sticking or nipping myself smh. So hats off to you
looooots of practice. basically I’ve been doing my own nails for years and years. But there are other tools u can substitute for nippers that can give u good results without the risk of cutting yourself. I demo them here ruclips.net/video/mO-48QEM4Ag/видео.html
Thank you. This is very helpful. ❤

This is probably going to be a long shot, but do you know how to lighten dark knuckles? The knuckles on my toes have been getting darker and darker, and idk why. I keep my feet moisturized, they’re maintained regularly, but they’re getting dark and I don’t know what to do to fix it. I’ve tried all the stuff it says on google, but nothings working. Any suggestions?
Do you wear closed toe shoes a lot? If you naturally have more pigmented skin it’s not uncommon for brown skin to be more pigmented around the knuckles, knees, and elbows. Added stress can also cause hyperpigmentation though, so if theres a lot of friction from the inside of your shoes repeatedly rubbing against your skin, that can be a cause. In that case, changing to wearing more opened toe shoes and/or providing more cushion can help along with exfoliation. I prefer chemical exfoliators like Glycolic and lactic acid.
@@abetweene I do wear closed toed shoes regularly, and I’m around your complexion, maybe a little paler. I’ll try the chemical exfoliant and getting better shoes. Maybe mine are just half a size too small then?
Thank you.
yw! 💕 hard to say with size because there isnt continuity throughout the industry. You can be one size in one brand, and a different size in another, so it can vary. A tip I recommend is only shopping for shoes towards the end the day that way your feet have already swelled from walking/standing so when you try shoes on, the size you get will accomodate for the extra room you need.
@@abetweene thank you so much for that tip, I never even thought about them swelling throughout the day. My shoes always fit comfortably during the day, but by the end of it my feet ache, I figured it was just because I have high arches and don’t wear supporting shoes for it.
Pregunta…do you still recommend using short and quick moves with the tweezer-nippers? (I made that term up lol)
short, yes, quick, not so much. You can speed up if youre an experienced user, but slow and controlled is always a good idea!
Hey do you know Dr. Dray? She is a dermatologist and also holds a PhD
She makes science based derm video
She did a video on calluses semi recently and I thought of you
She explained how filing away calluses is actually counter productive (meaning calluses grow back and sometimes ecen worse) and should be avoided, and to use some moisturising cream with mild exfoliating ingredients such as urea to actually help prevent the issue in the first place
If highly recommend you check her out
She also breaks down ingredients and what they are useful for
And dispels some myths too
i am familiar with her yes but not a fan. Ive also tried keratolytics like urea, but while such products are ok for mild cases, they dont significantly address my particular concerns. My calluses are caused by gait, not lack of maintenance/build up, so this routine is what suits me and others like me.
Did she soak first then cut and cuticle stuff? I see the water there but I’m not sure if she soaked first
i soaked after. feel free to do it before, i just felt like doing a dry mani at that moment
Youve inspired me to get up and do these toes, lol. Love the video
💕
Is getting a pedicure really necessary? Heath of the nails wise ? I almost never get them, but my nails and feet look like yours post the pedicure 🤔
Its up to your discretion what you deem necessary, especially for your body. For me, pedicures are a part of my personal hygiene.
How are you able to get the perfect angle and the close-up shots, please?
flexible ankles & toes
That foot scraper scares me to use!
use a foot file instead
@@abetweene doing it as I type 🤣 I used the the block foot file l ! Thanks
Awesome presentation!
ty!
Where did you get the cuticle pusher? I don’t see it in the links
the cuticle pusher came in the “travel nail kit” along with clippers, cuticle cutters, and file. its linked under that name
Is that just regular lukewarm water or do u put something in it? :3
i also add epsom salt and usually some sort of soap like castile or bodywash. here it was a matcha bubble bar that caused the green tint.
The forbidden Parmesan 6:58
lol
ya'll i'm too much of a chicken to even use that callus shaver like just the sight of the razor terrified me
lol, no worries. u can skip it
Great video, so detailed! Thank you
thanks!
can anyone tell me whats that lime water inside the sqaure white bucket? I wanna do my mom's nails like this too
its the matcha roll bubble bar from Lush, but u can add anything youd like (epsom salt, shower gel, etc)
@@abetweene thank you so much!
yw!
Why do you remove on the skin on either side of your nails ? Is it for esthetic reasons or does it serve a function ? I dread the day when I get so old, I can't see my toe nails or I can't bend down to cut them HAHAHA.I can already see it happening.
i remove all build up on my feet including surrounding the toes as the callused skin can feel hard and rough.
@@abetweene Does removing the skin make it grow back even more callused ? I'm always afraid to cut off excess skin. LOL
Calluses are caused by pressure as a way to “cushion” the area thats being affected, so wether it be gait or shoes that rub against the toes/foot, sizing, etc, if those things persist then the calluses will of course return.
Great job!👏
thanks
Who knew one could do so much with their feet?
Thanks for this I wanted to do my feet for hoco instead of going to a salon this really helps
yw. hope u have fun!
