Types of Manicures and Pedicures

Regular manicures involve submersion of nails in warm soapy water to soften dead skin cells and clean, trim, and clip them before adding base coat, main color, and top coat polishes to finish them off.

If you want a long-lasting nail treatment, try opting for a gel or shellac manicure – these treatments will remain chip-free for weeks!
