Manicures – The Basics
What Is a Manicure?
What a manicure is, is “treating” the nails and hands. It’s done in order to improve the appearance of nails and hands, so they look neat and cared for. Even though it’s usually a “girl thing” to get a manicure… it’s quickly becoming a “guy thing” too! (Thank goodness). People can do it themselves… or go to a nail salon to have it done professionally.
