>Here's how I do a Spa Manicure in the salon:

>Remove polish with Amera Polish Remover.
>File nails with Amera File.
>I massage hand with Renew AHA cream, and do her whole
>massage on the hand followed by regular Amera hand
>lotion on the arm. I put Amera Cuticle Softener on
>the cuticles and rub in. I like heated mittens and
>for a spa manicure I dip them in paraffin wax first,
>then wrap them up. I do the same steps on the right
>hand while the one hand is in the mitten. Once the
>second hand is wrapped up, I unwrap the first hand and
>put the nails into warm water, just for a few seconds.
>Long enough to soften up the cuticle, but not long
>enough for the nails to take on much water. Take the
>Amera brush and some Creme de Vuee and brush back the
>cuticles, push back cuticles with metal implement very
>carefully, brush again to make sure all softener is
>removed, rinse, dry off and nip any loose skin (no
>living tissue). Do any additional filing and buff
>nails to a glass smooth edge. If you need to buff
>lightly the top of the nail to remove any peeling,
>rough edges, skin that is still on the nail, so so
>now, but do not buff to a glass shine. Any treatment
>(Endure or Natural Nail will not penetrate into the
>nail plate if you buff it to a super shine. If they
>are not using any polish, buff to a high shine using
>all 3 sides of the buffer. Black, white, gray(Men's
>manicure for instance). Proceed to the next handand
>do the same. Use OPI Bondaid and polish as follows:
>Endure only IF they need a strengthener.
>Base
>Premiere
>2 coats of polish (omit if no color wanted)
>Calcium Plus *(optional)
>Natural Nail Protein
>Natural nail is used for weak, peeling nails, but a
>manicurist friend discovered it helps keep polish on.
>Extra Strength Top Coat.
>
>*For added strength to weak nails or using as a polish
>extender, Calcium Plus would be used after the polish,
>but have them put their top coat on the next day.
>Calcium Plus drys very slowly and it might bubble if
>you use the top coat immediately afterwards.
