Fall Beauty 2009

THE PRODUCT Pedi Pistol, a long-handled motorized tool with five multitasking attachments ($20; walgreens.com).
THE PROMISE To sculpt, shape, smooth and shine feet and toenails—all without requiring you to bend over.
THE EXPERT SAYS "The wand is so long that you can lose control," explains N.Y.C. aesthetician Joanna Czech. "So be careful. You can damage your nail bed if you file too much."
WE SAY The length did make it awkward and hard to handle, and there were more attachments than we really knew what to do with. The best one was the brush, which buffed nails to perfection.
