Manicure

A manicure is a beauty treatment for fingernails and hands. A manicure can treat just the hands or nails or both. A manicurist[?] can provide various services for nails, such as the application of artificial nails such as tips[?], acrylics[?] and gels[?]. A manicurist can also apply treatments to real nails, such as filing and polishing.

A standard manicure usually includes filing and shaping of the nails and application of polish. Some specialty manicures, such as the French Manicure[?], may also be offered. Treatments for hands usually include soaking in a softening substance and application of lotion[?].
