Standard Manicure Bowl

Be just like the professional manicurists and use this little bowl thingie to soak your fingernails in warm soapy water before pushing back your cuticles! The bowl, which looks like a hand citrus juicer, lets you soak your nails while keeping the rest of your hand dry. It also feels cool and super girly, like being at a salon. Unlike the lady in the commercials, I didn't use dish detergent on my nails, but a teeny drop of moisturizing hand soap in warm water. It did a great job on my nails, without drying out my skin like dishwash or smelling like dish soap. Highly recommended!!

It is very easy to use this bowl and it works very well. I place a few drops of my lavender foot gel soaking solution which works just fine on my hands, and some Epson salt. I also add a cuticle softener directly on my cuticles. Add some hot water and then just place my hand in the bowl. I soak my hand for about 5 minutes and I am ready to trim my cuticles and remove any dead skin. Then I start over when I am ready to do my next hand. Then I moisturize my hands and finish off with finger nail polish.

The most important aspect to me was the fit of the soak tray. I have long fingers and my hands have issues with swelling, but my hands fit perfectly in the soak trays. I love the fact I don't have to purchase two single soak trays as you receive two in a pack. I find the soak trays to be very sturdy, not cheap quality, and something you could find at a beauty supply store, but for a affordable price. I've seen similar sets run for $15-$20. The baby blue color enhances the relaxation of my manicures.

I am very happy with my purchase. These bowls are very comfortable for your wrist and hands as your nails soak. Pull your nails from the water and rest your hand on the bowl to begin using your mani tools.
