How to Use:

1. Preparation: Before each use, ensure the Basalt Nail Stone is clean and sanitised. For best results, warm the stone in hot water or a hot stone heater until it reaches a comfortable temperature.
2. Softening the Cuticles: Apply a cuticle softener to the client’s nails. Gently glide the warm stone over the cuticles, using smooth, circular motions. The heat from the stone helps to soften the cuticles, making them easier to push back or trim.
3. Hand Massage: For an indulgent hand massage, apply a generous amount of moisturising lotion or oil to the client’s hands. Use the warm Basalt Nail Stone to perform a deep tissue massage, focusing on areas that tend to hold tension, such as the palms and fingers. The heat from the stone helps to relax the muscles and improve circulation, enhancing the overall relaxation experience.
4. Finishing Touches: After the massage, proceed with the manicure as usual. The Basalt Nail Stone can be used again during the polish application to gently warm the nails, helping the polish adhere more smoothly and reducing drying time.
5. Cleaning and Storage: After each use, wash the stone with warm soapy water and sanitise it thoroughly. Store it in a dry, clean environment to ensure it remains in optimal condition for future use.
