A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands performed at home or in a nail salon. A manicure consists of filling and shaping the free edge of nails, pushing and clipping the cuticle and hangnails, treatments with various liquids, massage of the hand, and the application of fingernail polish. When the same is applied to the toenails and feet, the treatment is referred to as a pedicure. Most nail polish can stay on nails for 2-3 weeks before another manicure. The basic shapes of nails are almond, oval, pointed, round, square, square oval, square with rounded corners, and straight with a rounded tip.
