manicure
A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands performed at home or in a nail salon. A manicure consists of filing and shaping of the free edge, pushing (with cuticle pusher) and clipping (with cuticle nippers) any nonliving tissue (limited to cuticle and hangnails) , treatments, massage of the hand and the application of polish. When applied to the toenails and feet, this treatment is referred to as a pedicure.
Some manicures can include the painting of pictures or designs on the nails or applying small decals or imitation jewels. Other nail treatments may include the application of artificial nail gels, tips, or acrylics, some of which are referred to as ''French manicures''.〔(What is a French Manicure? ''(wisegeek.com)'' )〕
In many areas, manicurists are licensed and follow regulation. Since skin is manipulated and is sometimes trimmed, there is a certain risk of spreading infection when tools are used across many people and therefore, sanitation is a serious issue.
==Etymology==
The English word ''manicure'' comes from the French word ''manucure''. The word ''manicure'' is derived from the French usage, meaning "care of the hands", which in turn originates from the Latin words ''manus'', for "hand", and ''cura'', for "care".〔(Manicure definition - Online Etymology Dictionary )〕
