A hot stone manicure is usually an extension of the regular manicure. It takes place after the polish or gel is added to your nails. The manicure includes warm stones, exfoliation, nourishing oils, and a massage. This manicure is therapeutic, soothing, and restorative. Much like the previous manicure, this one is great for aches and pains. The heat from the stones is perfect for soothing overworked muscles. You will feel pampered after this one.
