SHE may have her own fashion line and designers falling at her feet, but there’s one essential accessory Victoria Beckham, aka Posh, is lacking in . . . pretty tootsies.

It’s official: the Spice Girl has the worst pair of feet in the nation, a new survey by Scholl reveals.

Almost three quarters (71%) named VB as the owner of the worst celebrity feet after years of wearing skyscraper heels with a bad case of bunion hangover to show for it.

But Posh isn’t alone – in fact, it’s a wonder any of us ever want to take our shoes and socks off in public, since more than half (52%) admitted to suffering from cracked heels and 40% confessed to being grossed out by their toes, identified as the least attractive part of our feet, according to Scholl.

Here nail care specialist, Iris Chapple, offers her step-by-step guide to falling head over heels in love with your feet again with a pedicure:

“The most important part of a pedicure is the preparation,” Iris explains. “You have to work with a dry foot initially so that you can feel the areas that need attention.”

Cut your toenails gently straight across with a sharp pair of scissors. Don’t leave them too long, or cut them too short;

File them after cutting, smoothing the ends of the nail;

Use cuticle cream to help soften the area;

Use a foot file to gently buff the backs of your heels and other hard patches while they’re dry. You can dip the buffer in water to soften;

Use a foot scrub, or you could even use an exfoliating body or face scrub.

PEDI PAMPER

Neglect your feet no more. Show your feet some love with some moisturising massage.

”If you invest in one product, make it a feet-specific conditioning moisturiser,” Iris suggests. “The formulation is a lot different to a body moisturiser and your feet get very dry so need a lot of moisture. If it’s too light, or a lotion, it’s not going to work – you need more of a creamy, buttery consistency for your feet.”

Soak your feet for 10-15 minutes.

Pat feet dry and use a cuticle remover to loosen up any dry skin on and around the cuticle. Never cut the cuticle itself.

Using a moisturising cream is the most important step. Really rub and massage into your feet until well absorbed.

PRETTY UP

Pedicure polish will outlast a manicure as your toes aren’t as exposed. A bright summer polish will give you flip-flop flaunting prowess.

”People who have pedicures want their feet to feel clean, fresh and comfortable – polish is a bonus,” Iris says.

Make sure the toenail is clean and completely clear of cream before applying polish. Remove any residue using a mini scrubbing brush;

Apply a protective base coat to prep the nails for polishing. If you choose a high-gloss polish, it can even be worn alone if you’re short of time;

Apply two coats of polish – you’ll never see the colour properly with one coat. Follow with a glossy top coat;

Your polish will feel dry after an hour and a half, but it takes 24 hours for the four coats to fully harden.
