I think everyone in this discussion agrees what 'nice and' means:
satifactorialy (per Readers' Digest), 'just right', agreeably ... but
no one offered the word 'correctly' yet. This wand is correctly
supple. This sweater is correctly warm. Turn the control correctly
gently."  I guess in English it would sound slightly less unnatural to
say This wand is the correct amount of supple, this sweater is the
correct amount of warm, turn the control the correct amount of gently.
