i apply the wax at the end of the manicure treatment, after the polish is dried. I find if the wax is applied before, it leaves a residue on the nail plate and the polish does'nt stick as well or chipps of more easily or you have to scrub fresh the nail plate thus un-doing the hydra moisture of a p.wax treatment?? i find if your using a good quality enamel it will be permible letting the nail breathe, so the moisture of the wax will penitrate through to the nail bad
and help set the polish
i like a aloe vera or peppermint paraffin wax, much better than the plain, clients will remember it and ask for it again, explain the benifits of paraffin treatments for joints, dry nail beds etc.
every so often i do a paraffin wax promotion in my salon. i charge £5.00 for hands (on top of their manicure or acrylic treatment) this goes down really well with the clients. i also find that the extra moisture of a p.wax treatment on acrylic nails really helps for clients whos acrylics are prone to lifting through being naughty and not wearing gloves etc:irked: ha ha
hope this helps
