Giving a manicure, or manicuring as it is called professionally, was once considered only a luxury for the rich. More and more women (and men) now have regular manicures. Manicuring is derived from the Latin word manus which means hand and cura which means care. Manicuring improves the appearance of the hands and nails. Giving a manicure isnt hard once you know the basic steps.

Why Is The Spa Pedicure More Expensive?
Professionals do go to great lengths to find technicians who can give you a special experience. They can give you beautifully shaped nails and suggest the perfect color for your skin and the season.
Their work lasts -- no chips or bubbles. And they should have a very nice manner. A spa pedicure usually has a few extra steps -- an aromatic salt rub, or hydrating mask or paraffin dip -- that can make it last longer and feel more luxurious.
