Summertime, and your feet are on display. Constantly. Bold - but maybe not so beautiful. Don't have the time or money to make it in for weekly foot pampering? Well, fortunately, celebrity nail stylist Jenna Hipp is here in the nick of time - with steps you can take to give yourself a pretty pedi!

1. Start by taking off any old color left hanging onto your toenails.

2. If you want to skip the foundation but still want some coverage, go for a bronzer. It will give you some cover and add color. Use your fingertips to apply it where the sun would naturally hit - down your nose and on your chin, brows and forehead. With Josie Maran Cream Bronzer, the color you see is the color that will show up on your skin. Almay Smart Shade
