Hybrid Pedicure – What is it?

A professional hybrid pedicure combines standard foot care treatments with the application of hybrid nails. You should use hybrid products, such as a base coat, hybrid polish, and top coat, and cure each using a lamp emitting UV-LED light. Soon, we will tell you how to perform a hybrid pedicure! Stay with us.

Hybrid Toenails – Is it worth it?

Hybrid pedicure is one of women's most frequently chosen and highly recommended methods. Why should you consider it? 

First and foremost, due to its perfect durability! If you choose high-quality pedicure products and apply them correctly, you can avoid issues like chipping or cracking of the polish.

Hybrid styling looks flawless for over three weeks, and you can enjoy beautiful toenails and a significant appearance in any footwear! It's a very convenient solution and a huge time saver for women who don't have the time to paint their nails every few days with traditional polishes.

Hybrid Pedicure at Home – What do you need?

You should gather a few essentials to perform a professional hybrid pedicure at home. Remember, a perfect pedicure is not only about beautiful hybrid nails but also precise preparation and thorough foot skin care.

Compose the Perfect Set of Products for a Hybrid Pedicure

Let's start with the essential foot care products. Here are must-have cosmetics for home foot care during a hybrid pedicure:

• Foot Soak Salt or Gel
  A professional foot soak product effectively cleanses and nourishes – moisturizes, refreshes, and nourishes the skin. This boosts confidence, allowing you to feel comfortable in any situation!
  Nappa foot soak salt – Refreshing sage is an excellent choice for the current time – as the first step of the summer hybrid pedicure. Thanks to the lanolin content, it provides strong hydration and softens and smooths the demanding skin of the feet. Adding urea facilitates skin regeneration and helps maintain optimal moisture levels for a long time. Meanwhile, sage refreshes and soothes even problematic skin.
  
• Foot Scrub
  High-quality foot scrubs are designed to deeply cleanse dry, demanding skin, exfoliate dead skin cells, and stimulate blood circulation. After using a professional scrub, your feet should become velvety, soft, and smooth like silk. Such skin preparation automatically increases the effectiveness of the products applied later, and the condition and appearance of the feet are impressive!
  For the summer, we suggest Nappa Foot Scrub—Sugar Exfoliation. Thanks to urea, this product removes all calluses and effectively moisturizes the skin, while the blend of oils (castor, peach, and avocado) provides rich nourishment without an unpleasant sticky layer. The scrub's fresh scent perfectly complements the summer skin exfoliation ritual.
  
• Moisturizing Cream
  Nappa Foot Cream – 30% Urea Exfoliating Treatment provides comprehensive care for the foot skin. It's a velvety texture with great effects: moisturizing, nourishing, smoothing, protection, and regeneration. So many benefits in one product? Yes, it's possible! All thanks to a perfectly crafted formula akin to expert podiatric cosmetics. The 30% urea content ensures intense exfoliation, allowing other ingredients to penetrate deeper layers of the skin more easily. Additionally, it soothes and softens. Lanolin and glycerin provide long-lasting hydration, creating a protective film on the skin and smoothing its surface. Meanwhile, peach oil improves the quality of the foot skin – its elasticity, tone, and nourishment level. It allows your feet to look younger for longer. Its subtle citrus fragrance enhances The cream application routine, perfect for summer!
  

Let's move on to a few devices, accessories, and products that you should gather to perform a perfect hybrid pedicure:

• LED-UV Lamp
  What is most important when choosing a LED-UV lamp for a hybrid pedicure? That its bottom is not permanently attached.
  In the bestseller Silcare device – LED-UV 80W Home2 Lamp, the bottom part is attached with magnets, making it suitable for hybrid nails on hands and feet.
  This particular model is an excellent solution for home nail styling enthusiasts who expect professional results from their DIY manicures and pedicures. The device is exceptionally energy-efficient, and its aesthetic appearance makes it elegant to display on a table or vanity.
  Thanks to the built-in timer, you can control the curing time and adjust it to the chosen styling method. The Low Heat Mode takes care of your nails and cuticles, minimizing temperature so that you don't feel uncomfortable burning. The Home2 lamp has a unique eye protection system, so the light it emits does not negatively affect our eyesight.
  Silcare clients appreciated this device's long list of pros—it's no coincidence that it is among our bestsellers!
  
• Accessories
  Among the accessories for hybrid toenails, you will need:
  a pusher or wooden stick for pushing back cuticles
  cuticle nippers or scissors for removing cuticles
  a polishing block
  a nail file
  lint-free wipes
  a toe separator
  
• Cleaner
  The Lovely Eco Plus Cleaner is used to professionally degrease the nail plate before applying hybrid polish. It effectively and thoroughly removes any oily layer from the nails, thereby increasing the adhesion of the products applied later – hybrid, gel, or acrylic.
  It’s important to note that Lovely Eco Plus Cleaner protects the nail plate and does not dry out the skin.
  Another strong point of this product is its formula, which is environmentally friendly.
  
• Hybrid Products
  At this stage, we move on to applying hybrid products – we will guide you through the process in a separate guide!
  You can choose hybrid products based on your preferences and needs.
  We recommend shades that harmonize with tanned skin, beachwear, and summer dresses for a summer pedicure! Perhaps a shade of blue, violet, or red? Choose your favorite and enjoy stylish toenails!

How to Do a Hybrid Pedicure at Home? Here's a Step-by-Step Guide!

You now have everything you need to perform a hybrid pedicure yourself. Learn how to do it step by step in the comfort of your home.

1. Prepare your feet before painting.
   Squeeze a small amount of foot-soaked gel or liquid into a basin of warm water. Soak your feet for 5-10 minutes. Proceed to exfoliation – apply the scrub to damp skin and massage in circular motions. Rinse off and then dry your feet with a towel.
2. Prepare the nail plate and cuticles. 
   Trim your nails with a file and shape them to perfection. Next, push back the cuticles with a wooden stick or pusher and gently trim them. Buff the nail plate with a buffing block, then use a cleaner and wipes to degrease the nails.
3. Apply the base and hybrid polish. 
   Apply a thin layer of hybrid base coat to your nails and cure it in the LED-UV lamp according to the instructions on the product packaging. Apply the hybrid polish in two thin layers (curing each one separately in the lamp) for a perfect color depth.
4. Decorate the nails and secure the style with a top coat. 
   Now is the perfect time to get creative and add your desired patterns or stick on your favorite decorations. However, if you prefer a smooth color finish, proceed directly to applying the top coat. Cure the selected hybrid top coat and wipe off the sticky layer with a cleaner. If you are using a no-wipe top coat, skip this step.
5. Take care of your feet and cuticles.
   Apply moisturizing cream to your feet and rub nourishing oil into the cuticles around your nails.

Your professional hybrid pedicure at home is ready!
