Manicure
The manicure dates back about 5,000 years ago and is a favorite pampering treatment among many women and even men. Specialties involving a manicure include a hand massage, french polish, artificial nails, or a paraffin treatment.
Steps for an at-home Manicure:
- Remove old nail polish thoroughly.
- Soak hands in warm water for 10 or 15 minutes. Dry hands.
- File nails in one direction only. Avoid using a seesaw motion.
- Push back cuticles. Use a cuticle moisturizer if they do not push back easily after soaking.
- Massage your hands. Use a moisturizing lotion. Use an exfoliating lotion if your skin is dry and/or roughened.
- Apply a base coat. Allow it to dry.
- Apply polish. Clean any stray marks with a cotton swab dipped in polish remover.
- Add a second coat for deeper color.
- Finish the manicure with a top coat of clear polish.
