What is a manicure? What do they do to your nails?

Question

they just paint them? i thought they put on fake nails..

Answer 1

Of course painting them is one thing they do. A professional manicure expertly shapes your nails and pushes the cuticle which provides a neat appearance to the nail bed. Depending on where you live, nail salons are normally very competitively priced between 10 - 15 dollars. If the manicure is done properly it does not hurt. Some places have nail technicians that are over zealous about treating the nail cuticle. You should definitely get a manicure once in your lifetime! Not only is it a treat you will be amazed at how different your nails can look.

Answer 2

A manicure is when you go to get your nails done. They file them, cut them to the length that you want, paint them, buff them, and all that jazz. You can even get french tips on your real nails. When they put on fake nails for you, they're called acrylics, or you can get solar nails which are supposed to look better or shinier.

Answer 3

by definition from merriam webster dictionary manicure just means a treatment for the care of hands and fingernails. It may or may not involve the application of fake nails.

i have nice natural nails and a manicure for me involves, having my nails trimmed, shaped and polished. some places also do a nice massage of the wrists and forearms.

this is usually the cheapest form of manicure, since you are having them done to your own nails.

for add'l costs you can have fake nails of any variety applied and the painted and shaped.
