MANICURE Meaning and Definition

  1. A manicure is a cosmetic treatment focused on the care and embellishment of the fingernails and hands. It involves cleaning, shaping, and polishing the nails, as well as maintaining the overall health and appearance of the hands. The word "manicure" is derived from the Latin term "manus," meaning hand, and "cura," meaning care.

    During a manicure, the hands are first exfoliated to remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother texture. The nails are then trimmed and shaped according to the individual's preference, as well as potential health considerations. The cuticles, which are the thin layer of skin at the base of the nails, are gently pushed back and trimmed if necessary to promote healthy nail growth and prevent hangnails.

    Following the nail preparation, a variety of nail polish colors can be applied to the nails to enhance their appearance. This can include single-tone polishes, French manicures with a natural color on the nail bed and white on the tips, or creative nail art designs utilizing different colors, patterns, or embellishments. To make the manicure last longer, a top coat is often applied to protect the nail color from chipping and provide a glossy finish.

    A manicure is not only an aesthetic treatment, but it also offers numerous benefits for the overall health of the hands and nails. By removing dead skin and cleaning the hands thoroughly, it helps prevent the buildup of bacteria and potential infections. Additionally, regular manicures can improve blood circulation, promote nail strength and growth, and enhance the appearance of the hands, fostering a sense of self-care and confidence.

  2. 1. A careful toilet of the hands and nails. 2. A manicurist.
