Gel polish remover mitts? Please help!

[Caroline2013]

Hi Geeks, I've scoured the boards for an answer before posting and cannot find one so sorry if this has already been covered!

I had my first client back for removal this week and it was a disaster, i have worked this out to be due to me not putting the remover wraps on tight enough and being in a cool room (clients home and she was cold)

I have decided to purchase proper remover wraps (magi wraps) and I'd like some heated mitts, I'd like the heated ones that you put into the microwave and not electric ones, my nail harmony trainer had the CND ones with wheat pads inside but they no longer sell them (hers were from a v long time ago) any help much appreciated, I've checked amazon, boots, ellisons (ellisons do have some but it doesn't state if these are electric or not

Please help Geeks!! xx

hi I found it hard to find heated mitts but I just use a wheat bag from SuperDrug they are £3,99 I think hope this helps,

All you have to do is to google 'microwave wheat manicure mitts' ... even amazon sell them but there seems to be a variety to choose from. I have to say I am glad I do not have to use heat to remove Hellac in 10. ... Just another step which increases time and expense unnecessarily for me.

Also if you have a heater/radiator in your room if you keep the wheat bag on there save you having to go put it in the microwave!!

I saw these Hive Heated Mitts or Boots | Wholesale Nail Supplies & Nail Polish | Beauty Express

My gelcolor removal is 10 mins max once foils are on and put inside heated mitts.
If I know I have a removal in with a client I turn the mitts on. I have a lovely wee cotton set that sit inside the electric mitts so Once foils are on I take out the cotton pair put them on the clients hands then place them in the heated mitts. My clients love them it's a wee bit if luxury they find and the gelcolor slides off literally after 10 mins SS

I had a wheat bag at home anyway so no added expense there & I put the wheat bag in the microwave after the client arrives & I am making them a drink anyway so I do it at the same time so no time increase there.infact my clients like it as they feel more relaxed & say its luxury enjoying the warmth from it & I think it looks good like an extra treatment ;-)

Thank you Geeks for all of the helpful replies, I love everything about Gelish but the removal to me is as important and should be a piece of cake, if having some heat thrown in is all it takes that's ok with me! and as others have said a nice bonus for the client to be wrapped up nice and cosy for 10

If you type into Google 'microwave wheat heated manicure mitts' as Geeg advised and as I had already done before seeking help on Salongeek, this (please see link below) is the only microwave wheat heated mitt on Amazon, for arthritic pain, I want a matching pair of professional looking manicure mitts with the capabilities of being heated in the microwave and not plugged in, all I can find are electric or thermal non heated mitts to use in conjunction with paraffin manicure treatments

I think I am going to have to consider a wheat bag or electric mitts but thought I'd try asking you lovely Geeks before purchasing

Hi Caroline try Heat relief packs for a natural solution to relieving pain - I had a look on here when I was looking for some. I didn't order any in the end but they do have heated mitts and might be what youre after x

 

[Caroline2013]

Thank you Beauty_Mai

Those are the exact ones CND used to supply I believe, i have ordered some small hand warner wheat bags from a differnt website that I found for a lot less money so will see how they compare and maybe buy 2 of the Wheateeze ones in the future thanks again x

 

[Caroline2013]

Sorry, Beauty-Mai I meant x

I am sure I saw some in either Avon or Kleeneze a little while back. Maybe they still have them? x

If anyone is handy with a needle, you can make one with a CND towel filled with cherry stones.
Will post pics later. Looks good and then everything is CND.

Thanks again for everybody's advice on this, as a newbie I did want to just follow this one up that I have now realised that I was in face applying my Gelish foundation to thickly (one very subtly loaded brush for 5 fingers) I'm now applying one per 10 and remembering to dry brush! :o lol

My removal is a total success, falls of the nail I'm still glad to have bought my heated wheat bags as I feel they add a little extra to my removal treatment

Thats interesting i didn't know too much foundation made removal harder.

So your loading your brush up for 10 nails, rather than going back and forth from the bottle?

yes just in once for all 10 (I used to dip once for each hand not each finger) I may be wrong but it seems to be the common factor that's making the Gelish come off easier x
