Get or Give the Ultimate Salon Experience with the Amber Manicure Heater
The Amber manicure heater represents one of the best warmers on the market today. While some warmers cost as little as $20, this model made by the Amber company costs around $49.95. For the price, you get an easy to use temperature controlled warmer that is small in size, features a soft wrist cushion and comes with ten disposable cups. It’s perfect for a salon or even to use at home. To go with your warmer, try the Amber Manicure Gel. This nourishing gel is designed to moisturize even most dry skin and works wonderfully when heated.
To incorporate this product into your at-home manicure, simply use it when you do your moisturizing. First, you’ll want to remove old polish using a quality brand of polish remover. Wash hands, or soak them in sudsy water. After drying your hands is the perfect time to apply heated lotion. Spend a few minutes massaging the warm lotion into your hands, paying special attention to the cuticle area. Moisturizing the cuticles will make them easier to push back, which is the next step.
It’s not recommended that you cut your cuticles unless absolutely necessary. Instead, push them back with a cuticle stick wrapped in cotton. After that, use a cotton ball moistened with nail polish remover to swipe the excess lotion of the surface of your fingernails. Oily nails don’t hold polish well. Now it’s time to shape the nails. Work in one direction to avoid snags. A lightly squared oval shape is the most flattering for most women.
Now you’re ready to polish. Start with a strengthening base coat and allow it to dry completely. Then, polish nails with the colored enamel of your choice. Apply two coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. There are fast-dry and one-coat enamels on the market today that cut down on polishing and drying time. To finish off your paint job, apply a protective clear coat.
The Amber manicure warmer is a great gift for women of all ages. Any girl would love a manicure gift bag or basket filled with not only this warmer but also other manicure accessories like polishes, lotions, filing boards and clippers. An alternative is to give a gift certificate to a nail salon, prettily wrapped in a small box. Either way, the recipient will love the end result — beautiful nails!
