Essential pedicure kits and tools for the ultimate home spa experience

Is there really any better treat for your feet than sinking them into a foot spa after a long day? It's got four bubble strips for increased bubbles and an ergonomic base for a more comfortable massage.

Using a foot spa softens the skin on your feet, making removing dead skin cells and calluses easier. It also softens the nails, making them easier to trim and shape without causing cracks or splits.

For the perfect spa-like experience, we recommend putting in some Epsom salts or a good foot soak (we have included a great one later in this list).

If you have been neglecting your feet for a little while, you are likely to have hard, dry skin, corns, or calluses.

Calluses are thick, hard areas of skin that develop as a protective response to repeated friction, pressure, or irritation. While they are incredibly common, they can become painful if left untreated—we were guilty of this ourselves.

So, after reading all of the amazing Amazon reviews, we were excited to try this callus and corn remover.

At first, we were slightly apprehensive and dubious of the results. But the kit comes with gloves, solution, an incredibly sharp foot file and a pumice stone. As per the instructions, we put the solution on our feet and waited five minutes then used the foot file to scrap off the dead skin. And not to sound too dramatic, but we were amazed by the results—baby-soft feet within one use. However, scrape with caution when you have calluses; it can be really easy to get carried away – a lesson we learned the hard way, and this leads to incredibly painful results.

This 19-piece nail kit is packed with everything you could need to tend to your toenails. Our favourite feature is the travel case, which makes keeping all of the tools together incredibly easy. We liked that the tools are made from stainless steel, which makes disinfecting them very easy—this is incredibly important if you are suffering from a fungal nail infection.

Keeping your heels in top shape is the key to healthy and beautiful feet, but self-care often falls by the wayside with our busy lives. That’s why we love Magitone's express pedicure system. This electric foot file gently buffs away dry skin, making it perfect for those moments when you're about to slip into your favourite sandals and realise your feet need a quick touch-up.

Do you have thick toenails that you struggle to clip? You need this set. It includes standard clippers and files as well as a wide-opening, heavy-duty clipper with sharp, curved blades. Online customers have raved about how this set can cut even the most stubborn toenails, just in time for summer.

If you want a pedicure foot file that you keep in the shower and use regularly, we like this Foot Rasp. Unlike some of the other foot files in this list, this doesn’t require batteries, charging or a solution. This tool is best for people who like to regularly file the skin on their skin. Customers love that this large file is effortless to use after a bath or shower.

This little set would make a lovely gift for a friend or a family member (or yourself!).

Champneys is one of the leading wellness destination spas in the world, and you can now create the same experience from the comfort of your own home (without the premium price tag).

Tired feet will welcome the chance to have smoother and softer soles, thanks to the foot butter, nourishing heel balm, foot file and moisturising socks.

If you are looking to start your pedicure journey, this Mylee kit has everything you need. Online customers were slightly disappointed that it doesn’t come with a storage case but absolutely loved the products. This five-piece bundle includes some of the best-selling salon-quality products.

This electronic file gently exfoliates your feet's dry, flakey skin to reveal fresher-looking skin. It can be used on wet or dry skin and has a dual-speed setting that you can change to suit your needs. Unlike other foot files, this electric foot file has safety stop technology that locks the roller head if too much pressure is applied to prevent injury. One thing to note is that this file requires four AA batteries, but thankfully, it comes with some to get you started.

Cocoa butter is packed with fatty acids that deeply moisturise and nourish the skin, making it ideal for treating dry and cracked feet.

We are long-term fans of Palmers and really like how convenient this set is. It’s great for on-the-go and a must-have for holidays (when you don’t want to pack your whole pedicure set). The creams really help to keep the feet feeling fabulous and can be used every single day.

This set is a must-have if you want to create a full spa experience from the comfort of your own home. It includes everything you need for pampering your feet, from masks and sprays to a luxurious foot soak, perfect for a home pedicure. We love this set because it uses high-quality natural ingredients that are gentle on the feet, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Plus, online customers rave about its divine scent.

If you have ever had a salon manicure, you will be familiar with electric nail files. They require less physical effort, making the pedicure process smoother and less tiring—which is great for people who struggle with limited hand dexterity.

If you've ever had a salon pedicure, you know they always apply cuticle oil. You might have wondered why—sure, it feels nice and sometimes includes a relaxing nail massage, but is it actually essential? It turns out cuticle oil is a step you should definitely incorporate into your home pedicure routine.

Applying cuticle oil before pushing back or trimming the cuticles makes the process easier and less damaging. After the pedicure, cuticle oil helps heal any minor cuts or abrasions that may occur. Overall, cuticle oil is fantastic for keeping your toenails nice and healthy.

We love this set because it uses honey, which is a great ingredient for hydrating the skin, and it also comes with a non-greasy scented cream.

The final step in any good pedicure is the polish. We don’t know about you, but we instantly feel more confident and put together when we have well-maintained and painted toenails. The right nail polish can complete an outfit but also hide minor damages or imperfections on the nail.

With this Full Works Gel Nail Polish Set from Mylee, you will never have to go to a salon again. This set is packed with everything you will need to create a salon finish on your feet at a fraction of the long-term cost.

According to online customers (we are excited to test it ourselves), it is very simple to use. Like standard nail polish, you paint your toes, pop your foot under the Pro lamp, and 15 seconds later, they are dry. You may want to add a couple of coats, but then your nails should be good for up to three weeks.

We cannot get enough of the eight colour choices, and should you want more, head to the Mylee website. Although this set is a slightly higher purchase, it will save you money in the long run.
