7 Ways to Get the Most Out of Prime Day

Amazon has officially announced that this year’s prime day is July 11^th. It starts at 9 p.m. Eastern time on July 10^thand lasts until 3 a.m. on July 12^th.

Started in 2015, Amazon Prime Day offers special deals in the middle of the summer. Amazon Prime Day 2016 led to the company’s biggest day ever. This year is expected to be even better. 

What you can get on Prime Day:

- Free 2-day shipping

- Greatest deals of the year

- Early access to sales and deals

- Much more….

To get the most savings on the hottest products of Prime Day, here are 7 key things you should do:

1: Sign Up for Prime Amazon (If you haven’t already).

Amazon Prime Day is only open to members of the Prime membership program, so if you’re not a Prime member yet, you should definitely test out their 30-day free trial to take advantage of this awesome sales day. Prime Membership is normally $99-a-year (or $10.99 a month) and it includes a video streaming service similar to Netflix.

2: Set a Calendar reminder and shop early

While the official Prime Day is July 11^th, the event will last for 30 hours in total. Set some reminder alarms on your phone so you won’t miss out on any of the action. Here are the MelodySusie sale dates and times to schedule. 

3: Research deals before it begins

Deals offered will be released on July 9^th at 9 p.m. Eastern time, or 24 hours before they go live. That’ll allow Prime members to see what’s on sale and to make a plan beforehand. Some sellers are also doing pre-sales for Prime Day.

Check out our list of pre-sales here: 

4: Reload your Prime Gift Card

Amazon Prime members get a 2% bonus when reloading their gift card balance from their bank accounts. If you’re planning on buying an expensive item, you may want to take advantage of this offer. Load the amount of money you’ll need onto your gift card and then you can use your 2 percent bonus on Amazon Prime Day.

5: Turn On 1-Click Ordering

1-Click ordering lets Prime members make super-fast purchases. When this feature is turned on, you can click the buy button once and the item is automatically charged and shipped based on the payment method and address in your Amazon account. This will be extremely useful during Prime Day to make sure buy what you want before stock runs out.

6: Keep an Eye on Lightning Deals.

Amazon offers a variety of good deals throughout the event, but occasionally a lightning deal will occur. These special sales will not last for the whole Prime day, but only be live for a little while and can come as fast as every five minutes, so make sure to keep your eyes open for them.

7: Don’t Hesitate.

A huge number of shoppers will also be taking advantage of Amazon Prime Day this year, so if there’s an item you really want shop as early as it starts. All items are on a first-come, first-served basis.

However, if you really missed out, Amazon does offer a wait list that allows customers to wait in line in case someone cancels their order or more products become available.

Finally, wish you all a Happy Prime Day! Remember to follow MelodySusie and our Amazon Store and find out more about our Prime Day Deals!

7 Tips for Choosing the Right E-File (Bonus At The End)

E-files, a.k.a. nail drills, are flooding market these days, which makes it very difficult to decide which one to buy. MelodySusie have taken the time to narrow down all the details to 7 factors you need to pay attention to when making a purchase. Each person will prioritize these factors differently according to their needs, so as you read, remember to keep in mind what you’ll mainly be using your drill for.

Speed

The speed of each drill is identified by RPMs (revolutions per minute) and there is a general rule that you shouldn’t bother with anything less than 25,000 rpms. Anything less than this might lock up when filing acrylics. However, if you are looking for a portable, cordless drill to use on-the-go, it’s perfectly okay to get something with a little less power.

Pro Tip: Nail experts recommend keeping speeds at 15,000 RPMs on the natural nail and cuticle area. Use a high speed for shortening tips, medium speed for smoothing acrylic applications, and the slowest speed for work on natural nails. 

Noise

E-Files can be noisy, especially if you have more than one in a room, so pay close attention to reviews and comments to see if e-file is quiet. Check out Youtube for some video reviews of the product so you can see it first-hand.

Handpiece

The handpiece size is really important for nail professionals that will be using one of these drills for many hours a day. Generally, choose a handpiece that is slim and lightweight so it can fit in your hand nicely and won’t weigh you down. Also check reviews to see if there is any vibration in the handpiece, which can be a nuisance while you work. 

Controls

The knob on the front of the machine should be easy to adjust without interrupting your work flow. Some professionals prefer to use a foot pedal so they can adjust speeds without stopping, but this requires the drill to be a bit more stationary. 

Battery

If you need to travel with your drill or take it to clients’ homes, you may want to consider a rechargeable nail drill. This kind of drill might have less power than the standard ones, but you’ll have more freedom of movement without the cord. Just make sure to check the battery life and charge times. 

Bits

You’ll need to replace your nail drill bits about every four months, so make sure that the drill accepts standard sized drill bits. Most drills will come with a standard set of bits, but if you’ll be working with natural nails, make sure they provide a mandrel and several sanding bands.

Check out this great video by Suzie from Nail Career Education for more info on how to choose and use drill bits. 

Warranty

Accidents happen and sometimes drills have problems. Check that the manufacturer has a warranty and learn how you can get your nail drill fixed if you have a problem with it. Nail techs that use their professional nail drills for business should consider buying more than one machine in case they have to send one out for repairs.

Pro Tip: To get the most out of your drill and to prevent any infections, make sure to practice good hygiene habits after use. Clean and sterilize drill bits after every procedure, following manufacturer’s instructions, and be sure to soak bits for at least 20 minutes. Wipe them dry with a clean cloth or let them dry naturally. For the handpiece, use a soft cloth to brush away dust from your nail drill or use an aerosol cleansing duster to remove particles from cracks and crevices.

MelodySusie currently offers 3 different e-files to suit every kind of user. Our Standard Drill , with an RPM of 20,000, is best for newbies or people on the go. It’s super compact and easy to pack. On sale for $ 19.99. 

Shop the Standard Drill on Amazon

The Sharpe drill is one-step up from that. It’s fully rechargable still, so it packs the power, but doesn’t pin you down to one place. It has the fastest RPM of 25,000. It is cordless and can work up to 8 hours with a charging time between 1.5-2 hours. Price $119.99.

Shop the Sharpe drill on Amazon 

Finally, the Shine drill has the advantages of both Standard Drill and Sharpe Drill It is rechargeable and has similar power to the Sharpe drill, but is a little bigger with a better grip on the handpiece, so it’s best used at a manicure station. It also has a much affordable price than Sharpe , ideal choice if you are under a tight budget. On sale for $49.99.

MelodySusie 1st Manicure Party!

MelodySusie hosted our 1^st ever manicure party at Jonna’s house, one of the staff members here at MelodySusie. Jonna invited 7 of her closest friends over to paint nails, eat cupcakes and drink Aperol spritzers (more on those later!)

The party was a ton of fun and really informative! All the girls, regardless of their experience level, learned something new about manicures. If you are thinking of hosting a party of your own, here’s how it all went down:

Girls arrived around 7pm and we started setting out all of the awesome MelodySusie products that we would be using for the evening. Bonus: Jonna’s crystal ball! 

It didn’t take long for the champagne to get popped! We drank Aperol spritzers, which is easily the most perfect summer drink. You can find a recipe listed below.

Two of the guests, Kelly and Liv, own a small cupcake business and they showed up with salted caramel and chocolate cupcakes. Yum! 

Jonna gave everyone a brief rundown of the products and how to use them. Most of the girls had had gel polish on their nails before, but they always had it done in a salon. Everyone was pretty excited to try it out on their own.

Then we were down to business! Girls started prepping their nails and testing out the colors on some nail swatches before applying them to their own nails. 

Although base coat and top coat are not required for the 1-step gel, you still can apply for a better and longer lasting shine.

Once the nails were prepped, the hardest part was honestly trying to decide which color to use! This time, we brought 7 collections, a total of 48 colors. Here we provide you with some advice on choosing your color:

-     For a summer and spring color, you can choose Sweet Reverie and Monet's Palette.

-     For a darker color, you can try Lux Classics and Party Queen.

-     For a color that will look fashionable all year long, you can choose our nude colors, Timeless Muse and   Infinite Nude.

-     If you still cannot decide, try our color-changing collection, Kaleidoscope. It changes color with temperate, you can see the actual effect on our Instagram video.

After decide on the color, we got to painting. 

 Jen had some intense focus going on.  

Some of us needed a little help…

Lastly, it wouldn’t be mani party without some spirit fingers!

By the end of the night, everyone had a great a mani and a little buzz. If you want to hold your own party like this, here are the basics for what you’ll need:

- 1 (or more) LED/UV nail dryers (1 lamp for every 3-4 people)

- A few Nail Gel Polish sets

- Gel Polish Top/Base Coat

- Acetone & cotton swabs

- Nail file

- Orange sticks

- Lots of cupcakes & Drinks! 

Thinking about buying the above? Now we have a good news for you. We will be hosting a Summer Giveaway next week and will give away nail lamp, gel polishes, and nail drill, everything you need for a beautiful manicure. So stay tuned with MelodySusie.
