Hand care and Nails both go together. Cause if you want to paint your nails, your hands have to be taken care of before that. You want your hands to look beautiful when others look at your painted nails. As they are looking at the whole picture, not just your pretty nails.
So when you think of your hands, you can start by making sure that your nails are cleaned and trim. Have no visible cuts either. You can also apply some lotion to your hands before you start your wax treatment.
You will need a Paraffin Hand Wax Bath, and paraffin wax, gloves or terry cloth mitt to wrap your hands in. Plastic bags too, to cover your hands that are covered in wax. This will help to insulate them before you put them into the terry cloth or gloves.
Getting Ready for Your Hand Treatment
When you do start to get ready for your paraffin treatment.
- remove your jewelry and no long sleeves
- test the wax, before you start. Make sure it is not too hot.
Now that you have checked everything, you are ready to start the treatment. Start by dipping your fingers in, keeping them slightly apart. We don’t want them to stick together.
Your hands will love this!!
Take your hand out, still keeping your fingers apart. Wait 3-5 seconds and dip again. You will dip your hand in the same amount you did earlier. We want to try and form a glove-like look. Keep doing this till you have about 3-5 layers.
If you add more layers it will retain the heat much longer. You would slip your hand into a plastic bag/liner and then put it into a cloth mitt. Insulating the wax and plastic bag to hold in more heat.
Sit and Relax and Enjoy
Sit and relax for 10-15 minutes with the warm wax keeps your hands warm and this will soothe and soften your hands. Or hand, if you were only able to do one at a time.
You will at least sit down for 15 minutes, or longer if you want. This is great for your hand care and nails. Your hands will look great after you have this done.
I loved the way my hands looked after I got this hand wax treatment done at a Spa Day. Was a little skeptical at first, but, after it was done. It was great, it was so relaxing. Loved the way the warm wax felt, made me so relaxed.
So because of that one treatment, I had received. I had to go and get my own. I found one on Amazon, also the paraffin wax bath came with some wax too. Also, some plastic gloves too, little lavender packs too(for scenting the wax).
Kids Will Love This Too!!!
My son and daughter both love this, they play with it when it cools down a bit. It is for stress reliever, and it is beneficial for them also. Good for sensory-touch. Helps them to calm down and be centered. For my son, it sure helped him. Cause after playing with this for an hour, he ended up going to bed later. He said he felt so sleepy and was really relaxed.
He was so relaxed and really calmed down. Same for my daughter also. So I do recommend this, I hope you do try it out for yourself. As you too will see the benefits of this, and maybe even do your own research too.
Beauty Treatments To Do At Home
This is a great beauty treatment to do at home at any time. When you think your hands may need some extra care. Or you think they are a bit dry and need some extra love. Then this would be great for you to do, and even share and do with others. Or a girlfriends night and do a bunch of treatments together.
Now if you have your girlfriend’s over and you made it a girls night. Why not finish it off with a glass of Fine Wine, and share with others. Or even get ready to have more fun, with painting your nails together.
To-Do Before Painting Your Nails
- wash and dry your nails, trim them if needed
- pick out your nail polish colors, for painting and stamping them
- get your nail polish remover and the q-tips-in case of mistakes
- stamper kit ready, design picked out
Now your all ready to sit down and paint your nails. With someone else, or even by yourself. Either way, it is alot of fun. And the end result can be very beautiful also.
Painting & Stamping Your Nails
Did you know that there is more to painting your nails? You don’t just have to just add nail polish to them. As every girl and women do each week or more.
So when you’re done with painting your nails with nail polish you will let them dry. Then start to look at what color you will use to go with your stamper. I just bought one off of Amazon also. Keep wanting to try this one. As it is a newer one, because my old one never worked.
So I hope this one will work. Because it is a different stamper, and even has more nail plates with it. Which you would use to stamp your nails with. I found out that you should use a metallic nail polish or black one.
They show better on your nails. And you need to find the right kind that will stick with the nail polish you currently have on. So basically practice makes perfect. Which is what I will be doing with my daughter very soon.
She loves having some quality time with her mom. We would usually pick out our nail polish to paint our nails with. Then choose the color to stamp them with. We love doing this together, a lot goes into hand care and nails.
