• If you have any concerns regarding your health, consult your doctor before using this product.

• If you are susceptible to allergic reactions or if you have circulatory problems, consult a physician before using this product.

• Do not use on irritated, sunburned or chapped skin, or on any area with dermatological problems.

Using Your Style Spa Elite

The Style Spa Elite comes complete with six professional-style manicure and pedicure tools.

Shaping Discs

Choose the shaping disc that most suits the nail’s thickness. For smaller, thinner fingernails, use the fine shaping disc (Inset A). For thicker nails and toenails, use the coarse shaping disc (Inset B). Lightly apply the disc to the edge of your nail, moving the unit along the side of the nail until you achieve the shape and smoothness you desire.

Pointed Filing Cones

The thin, pointed filing cone (Inset C) files away rough edges around nails and removes dry skin. It can also be used to treat ingrown nails and other problem nails. The larger filing cone (Inset D) is perfect for thicker nails and toenails. Gently apply the cone to the area that needs attention, pausing frequently to monitor your progress.

Large Sapphire Cone

Use the sapphire cone (Inset E) to remove rough and dry skin around the nail and soften callouses. Lightly apply the cone to the skin, using a back and forth motion. Stop treatment if irritation occurs.

Polishing Cone

When finished filing, lightly buff the nail surface to smooth edges and add shine (Inset F).

Applying Attachments

1. Switch the hand unit to the off position (“0” setting) and connect the cord to the hand unit (Fig. 1).

2. Choose one of the product’s six interchangeable attachments and

gently snap it into the unit’s handle (Fig. 2).

3. Plug the adapter into an outlet.

4. Switch the unit on, selecting high (“2” setting) or low (“1” setting) speed.

5. Lightly apply the attachment to the nail or skin surface.

6. Periodically stop treatment to check your results.

7. When finished, switch unit to the OFF position. Wait for the attachment to come to a stop, then remove it for storage or replacement.

8. Unplug the adapter from the hand unit and from the outlet.

9. After using, wipe the metal surface of each attachment with a damp cloth to remove residue.

After Your Manicure or Pedicure

After filing and shaping nails and removing rough skin, you may bathe hands or feet to rehydrate nails and soften cuticles. Soak your hands or feet in a lukewarm bath for 15 minutes. Next, massage moisturizer (not included) into the skin and into each nail, paying close attention to your cuticles. Finally, dry hands or feet completely and apply the polishing cone to smooth edges and lightly buff nail surface for added shine.

Tips for Keeping Nails Healthy

To achieve the best results from your Style Spa Elite, follow these guidelines.

• Avoid placing harsh chemicals on nails.

• Avoid exposing hands and feet to cold, dry environments. Always wear protective clothing in cold temperatures.

• Avoid strong soaps, detergents and excessive washing.

• For best results, do not bathe hands or feet before applying Style Spa Elite attachments.

• Proper nail hydration is key to strong, healthy nails that resist chipping and splitting. After using Style Spa Elite attachments, soak hands or feet in a warm, soapy, 15-minute bath to restore moisture. Next, rub a light moisturizer (not included) into your skin, nails and cuticles to soften skin and protect nails.

• To prevent nails from splitting and peeling, wear high-quality nail polish (not included) to protect against harsh elements and seal in moisture. Polish nails before applying any moisturizer.

• Avoid changing polish more than twice a month.

• Use shaping discs rather than nail scissors for safer, more controlled nail removal.

• Wait seven to 10 days before re-buffing nails to maintain the thickness of nail surface.

Using the Built-in Nail Dryer

1. Connect the cord to the plug located on the back of the storage case.

2. Plug the adapter into an outlet.

3. Lay your hands on the nail dryer. Slide hard forward so that fingers are between the partitions. NOTE: Make sure not to touch the storage case with wet nails.

4. Press down on the nail dryer platform to activate the dryer. Hold still while air

blows on nails. Remove hand when nails feel dry.

5. To turn nail dryer off, slide your hands away from the nail dryer.

Maintenance

TO STORE

Place attachments into their proper compartments inside the storage case. Store case in a safe, dry place, out of children’s reach. To avoid breakage, do not wrap the power cord around the unit. Do not hang the unit by the controller cord.

TO CLEAN
