manicure/pedicure services 75 GET STARTED ON YOUR SPA! To help you launch your spa services, here is a sample manicure service that incorporates cuticle detailing, exfoliation, a mask, and special massage techniques using ProSpa Moisture Whip Massage Cream. Step 1 – Sanitize Wash hands with Swiss Blue Hand Soap and sanitize with Swiss Hand Guard. Remove all color from nails with Expert Touch Lacquer Remover. Step 2 – File and shape Shape the free edge with the EDGE White 240 File. Cleanse nails with an Expert Touch Nail Wipe and N.A.S. 99. Step 3 – Cuticle detailing Apply OPI ProSpa Exfoliating Cuticle Cream to the cuticle area. Using the PusherPlus Multi-Use Pusher, push back the eponychium to reveal true cuticle. Gently remove residue with an Expert Touch Nail Wipe saturated with N.A.S. 99. Use the Dexterity Dual-Edge Nail Plate Cleaner to remove excess non-living tissue. Remove any hangnails and remaining non-living tissue with the AccuNip Professional Precision Nipper. Repeat cuticle detailing and nail shaping on other hand. Step 4 – Exfoliate Apply a generous dollop of OPI ProSpa Micro-exfoliating Hand Polish and gently polish skin on top of hand and arm, using a circular motion. Polish hand and arm for approximately 2 minutes. Use warm damp towels to remove scrub. Step 5 – Mask Using a facial fan brush, apply a thin even layer of OPI ProSpa Soothing Moisture Mask to hand and arm. Wrap in a warm, damp towel and allow to penetrate for 3-5 minutes. Begin the exfoliation step on the other hand. After 3-5 minutes, remove the mask with a clean damp towel. Step 6 – Massage Apply a generous dollop of OPI ProSpa Moisture Whip Massage Cream to your hands and warm between your palms. Massage hand, wrist, and forearm for 5 minutes each, using effleurage, kneading, and acupressure. Step 7 – Lacquer application Apply OPI Lacquer or OPI Infinite Shine following the OPI Application Step by Steps. Apply OPI ProSpa Exfoliating Cuticle Cream to cuticle area. Using the PusherPlus Multi-Use Pusher, push back the eponychium to reveal true cuticle. Gently remove residue with an Expert Touch Nail Wipe saturated with N.A.S. 99. Use the Dexterity Dual-Edge Nail Plate Cleaner to remove excess non- living tissue. Remove any hangnails and remaining non-living tissue with the AccuNip Professional Precision Nipper. Repeat cuticle detailing and nail shaping on other hand. Step 8 – Hand serum To rejuvenate and reveal smoother, radiant, and firmer skin, apply one drop of OPI ProSpa Protective Hand Serum to each of the following areas: top of hand, wrist, and arm. Rub in lightly. Step 9 – Finishing steps Apply OPI ProSpa Nail & Cuticle Oil and gently massage in. To leave skin with a beautifully soft and nourished finish while providing a protective barrier and helping to retain moisture, mist OPI ProSpa Moisture Bonding Ceramide Spray over the entire hand and arm.
