Princess, I've had the parafin wax treatments at salons and they are wonderful! I do have a kit for it at home, but haven't broken it in yet. That being said, the manicurist always did the treatment before my manicure and always made me wash my hands before I dipped so I wouldn't contaminate the wax. I imagine that using those products and then dipping it would break the wax down and/or contaminate it so it wasn't pure. I'm definitely no expert, but that's what makes sense to me.
