Instructions

    • 1

      Wash the foot, paying special attention to the wart area. Use nice warm soapy water and get the foot thoroughly clean.

    • 2

      Dry the foot completely. A towel usually doesn't get skin completely dry, so let the foot air dry for a few minutes, or dry with a blow dryer on a low setting, before proceeding.

    • 3

      Take the bottle of nail polish and shake it up, unless you are using a clear variety, then there is no need to do this.

    • 4

      Unscrew the top of the bottle and, using the attached brush, paint the wart and the immediate area surrounding it. Make sure the wart area is completely covered by the nail polish.

    • 5

      Dry the nail polish. A hair dryer, on low, can help speed up this process. The nail polish must be completely dry before you walk off or put a sock on the foot.

    • 6

      Allow the nail polish to sit there on the wart for a few days. The nail polish starves the wart of oxygen. That is why it is important to completely cover it with the nail polish. Within a few days to a week, it will fall of all on its own.
