What is a manicure and what does it entail?
Manicure comes from the words “mani” meaning nail and “cure” meaning care. Therefore, manicure means nail care. I`ve recently read a wonderful article on what is a manicure and pedicure (it turns out that manicure has a long and interesting history).
A manicure is performed on your fingernails by soaking your nails in warm water with softening cuticle lotion, shaping the free edges, treating the cuticle and surrounding skin to remove any dead/dry skin or hang nails, buffing your nails to a bright shine (optional), massaging your hands and arms, and finally polishing your nails. This is typical manicure; however, there are variations that can be performed using extra exfoliants, masks and aromatherapy. This is called our “SPA Manicure”.
