About

A manicure consists of filing and shaping the free edge of nails, pushing and clipping (with a cuticle pusher and cuticle nippers) any nonliving tissue (but limited to the cuticle and hangnails), treatments with various liquids, massage of the hand, and the application of nail polish. When the same is applied to the toenails and feet, the treatment is referred to as a pedicure. Most of gelish nail polish can stay on nails for 2-3 weeks before another manicure, if there is no deliberate damage to it, depends of many conditions. The regular varnish can stay on the nails about 1 week.

All the tools and equipment using for nail treatments is either disposable or sterilised in autoclav and disinfect properly after each client to provide fully safe treatments.
