To begin, I’ll apply a generous amount of Exfoliating Hand Scrub to the skin on the back of the hands and arms in a circular motion.
When I’m done exfoliating, I’ll remove the scrub using warm, damp towels.
Then apply a Moisture Mask to the hands and arms.
I’ll allow the mask to penetrate the skin for 5 minutes.
Remove the product and cleanse the hands.
This way, there are no bits to interrupt the relaxing massage.
Next, I’ll warm up Massage Cream in my palms.
Then, massage the hands, wrists, and forearms for 5 minutes.
Once complete, I’ll wipe down the nails so I have a clean, smooth surface for nail prep.
Next, I’ll trim the nails and if needed and shape.
I’ll then apply Cuticle Cream to each nail,
and gently push back the eponychium using a cuticle pusher to reveal the true cuticle.
When I’m done, I’ll wipe down the nails again to remove residue.
Using my Dexterity, I’ll remove any excess non-living tissue.
Next, I’ll remove hangnails or any non-living tissue with my AccuNip.
Then I’ll smooth the nails with the 220 side of my 220/280 FLEX.
Once complete, I’ll wipe down the nails so I have a clean, smooth surface.
Next, I’ll apply the OPI Nail Lacquer or Infinite Shine your client has chosen.
Here I’m using Infinite Shine.
Once the nails are dry, I’ll moisturize by massaging Cuticle Oil into each finger.
Then I’ll top it all off with a hydrating mist on the hands and arms.
