A manicure is a beauty treatment for your hands and nails using a variety of tools, creams, oils, waxes and massage techniques to clean and shape your nails, care for your cuticles, and generally improve the look and feel of your hands. A manicure should improve the texture and health of both the nails and the skin of your hands, as well as leaving them looking polished and perfect.
Apart from making sure your hands and nails look and feel good, a manicure often has the side-effect of relaxing and soothing you; there are pressure points on your hands that correspond to other areas of your body.
The basic manicure normally involves filing and shaping of the nails, treatment of the cuticles, application of polish on the nails and finally a moisturizing treatment for the hands.
