WHAT IS A MANICURE?

As a woman, there's nothing like having perfectly polished nails. It not only makes you look good, but it also boosts your confidence. At Kay's Nail Spa, we believe that a manicure is a simple yet effective way to keep your nails healthy, clean, and looking their best. So, let us take you through the steps of a traditional manicure and explain the benefits of gel polish.

What is a Manicure good for?

A manicure is good for a number of reasons, including:

1. Hygiene: Regular manicures can help to keep your nails clean and free of bacteria and fungus. This is especially important if you work in an environment where your hands are frequently exposed to germs and dirt.

2. Improved appearance: Manicures can help to improve the appearance of your nails by removing dead skin, shaping your nails, and adding a coat of polish. This can make your hands look more attractive and professional.

3. Stress relief: Getting a manicure can be a relaxing and enjoyable experience that can help to reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being.

4. Healthier nails: By keeping your nails clean and well-groomed, you can help to prevent common nail problems such as hangnails, ingrown nails, and brittle nails.

5. Long-lasting polish: If you opt for gel polish, you can enjoy a long-lasting manicure that won’t chip or peel for up to two weeks or sometimes even more. This can save you time and money in the long run by reducing the frequency of your manicure appointments.

Overall, a manicure is a great way to keep your nails healthy, clean, and looking their best. Whether you opt for traditional polish or gel polish, a good manicure can help you to feel more confident and put-together, while also promoting good nail hygiene and health.

What to expect from a Manicure?

Step 1: Soak

The first step in a manicure is to soak your hands in warm, soapy water. This will help to soften your cuticles and nails, making it easier to remove any dead skin and dirt around your nails.

Step 2: Cuticles

After soaking your hands, we will use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles and remove any dead skin around your nails. We will then trim any excess cuticle skin and shape your nails using a nail file.

Step 3: Polish

Once your nails are shaped, we will buff them to smooth out any rough edges and prepare them for polish. You can choose to have regular polish or gel polish applied to your nails. At Kay’s Nail Spa, we offer a wide range of colors and finishes to choose from, so you can find the perfect shade to match your style.

Step 4: Gel polish

Gel polish is a type of nail polish that is cured under a SAFE UV lamp or LED lamp. It is known for its long-lasting properties, lasting up to two weeks or sometimes even more without chipping or peeling. At Kay’s Nail Spa, we only use high-quality gel polish products that are gentle on your nails and skin.
