MELODY SUSIE

Melody and Susie were two young and passionate nail art professionals/cosmetologists living in San Francisco, California. After seeing many working women struggling to balance work, family, and self-care at their salon, they decided to start a new career. With a shared vision bigger than themselves − to help women achieve balance, in 2009, Melody and Susie founded MelodySusie, a beauty brand with salon-quality products for customers to use at home that was still very affordable.

Through their hard work, the company has now grown into a professional beauty product supplier with multiple product lines. They offer products like Nail Drills, Bits, Nail Lamps and Gels, Fashion Wigs, Skin Care Products and so on. The most notable product is the MelodySusie Nail Drills and Nail Lamps. As a top brand ranked by customers on Amazon, MelodySusie earns a high reputation for its salon-quality, high-efficiency, affordable price, and ease of use. Many fashion bloggers and nail technicians consider the MelodySusie nail lamp to be a “must-have” nail product and it has been appointed as the “exclusive nail brand” by several professional salons in the US. Meanwhile, MelodySusie Nail Drills are also at the top of the list been recommended by many professional influencers and salon users. Today, Melody, Susie and everyone at MelodySusie are still dedicated to technological innovation to create more professional and reliable home-beauty products that blend fun, fashion, and function together.

Experience with MelodySusie

The MelodySusie team will continue to strive towards its mission: helping women to pursue beauty and personal growth and, most importantly, to pursue the balance in life.

MelodySusie has their own online store where you can use promo codes to get discounts. They also have free US shipping for any orders over $109.00.

I started off with clean, bare nails and the MelodySusie Shine Professional Nail Drill. The drill is regularly $59.99 and is currently on sale price for $49.99. This is my first time using a nail drill so I was kind of nervous, when I really didn’t need to be. There is barely any set up. Simply connect the want to the power unit, select your tip and snap it on the want and you are ready to go. If you’re a bit nervous like I was, you can simply start off at the slowest speed, which is adjustable, until you get more comfortable.

Features of the drill include:

Includes 6 metal grinding drill bits in different shapes
Speeds up to 20,000 RPM MAX
Smooth without vibration
6 month warranty
Can be used on both natural and artificial nails

Next came the most difficult part. Deciding which color to pick. Seriously, this was tough! I was sent both the Infinite Nude 1-Step Gel Collection and Monet’s Palette 1-Step Gel Collection, both of which are regularly $39.99 and are on sale now for $19.99. The colors are always fun and each collection comes with a variety to suit your mood, special occasion or even season.

Features of both collections include:

Safe—Non-toxic, minimal smell, non-damaging to nails.
Convenient – fully cures under an LED lamp in 1 minute or a UV lamp in 2 minutes
Long Lasing and easy to use – 15+ days of high-performance use without peeling or cracking for each application. Only needs one coat and soaks off completely in only 10-15 minutes.

Now that you have picked your color and applied a coat to your nails, you need to cure it under your dryer. The VIOLETIEL 24WLED Lamp Nail Dryer does that for you beautifully. This nail dryer regularly sells for $79.99 and is currently on sale for $39.99. It is so easy to use and ultra portable, not to mention easy to store. You can pick between 3 different settings, 15s, 30s or 60s—just push the corresponding button and done! Since I tend to be rough on newly polished nails, I chose to go for the full 60 seconds in order to SURE my nails were 100% set.

MY THOUGHTS

Think of all of the time you will save getting your manicure and pedicures done at home. My first thought on a DIY manicure with a drill was thinking I may not be cut out for this. After just one time of using the drill to smooth my nail beds, I realize how satisfying and relaxing it is. I find myself taking more time for myself because the Melody Susie tools are so easy to use. I struggled with my cuticles and constantly pushing them back myself, even wanting to bite them causing more hard to my skin. Now that I can gently smooth my skin with the right tools my hands look better than ever. The Melody Susie nail lamp speeds up the drying process and gives my at home gel manicure the right amount of drying time.
