A manicure is a treatment of the hands, but especially the nails.
The skin is soothed and relaxed through massage and moisturizing lotions. On the nails, the cuticle is pushed back and the nail is filed into a nice shape. The dead skin cells from the natural nail are removed. The cuticle is treated with cuticle oil. Optionally, artificial nails can be glued to the natural nails or the natural nails can be painted.
