A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the hands and fingernails and has been around for almost 5000 years.
Hands, fingers, and nails are not usually cared for as much as other parts of the body (think how much more attention you pay to your face!), but they’re the part of you most likely to be treated the worst. From washing up to gardening, hands and nails often become neglected and this results in broken, dirty nails and flaky, dry skin – not a great look! Properly looked after hands and a lovely set of nails can do wonders for your image; it shows you pay attention to yourself and cares about your body.
The kind of work fingernails does tend to be dirty work, though. After a long day of work or school — even if you’re faithful to wash your hands multiple times throughout the day — your fingernails will likely have accumulated some dirt and grime under them.
Alternatively, you could give your fingernails and hands some pampering with a special treatment regimen known as a manicure. A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the hands and especially the fingernails. Although it can be done at home, many people choose to go to a nail salon for a professional.
What to expect from a manicure
A manicure is usually very soothing. It can be nice to have someone touch your hands and nails, especially if the manicurist uses reflexology or other hand-massage techniques to relax you.
A typical manicure involves the filing and shaping of the fingernails, including pushing back and clipping the cuticles, which is the skin that grows at the base of the fingernails. In addition to massaging, soaking, and moisturizing the hands, a manicure also typically includes the application of nail polish to the fingernails.
Some girls may choose bright, flashy colors for their nails, while others might choose a clear or pale pink polish with a thin strip of white polish on the tips, which is known as a French manicure. Others might choose to have designs, decals, or imitation jewels added to their nails. Popular manicure treatments also include the application of artificial nail gels, tips, and acrylics.
Experts believe that manicures can be traced back at least 5,000 years. That’s no surprise since them help to maintain the health of your fingernails. A good manicure will also leave your nails polished and sparkling with beautiful color. The manicure process also allows you to relax and feel pampered, which can reduce stress levels and improve your mood!
