A manicure is a cosmetic treatment for the fingernails and hands. A manicure is the filing and shaping of the nails as well as the application of polish. A common technique used for the hands is to soak them in a softening substance and to apply a lotion. A manicure may also include the application of artificial nail tips, acrylics or artificial nail gels. Some manicures include painting pictures or designs onto the nails or adding small imitation jewels.

Paraffin Treatments
Hands can be dipped in melted paraffin wax for softening and moisturising. Paraffin wax is used because it can be heated to temperatures of over 100 degrees, without burning the hand. The intense heat allows for deeper absorption of emollients and essential oils. The wax is usually infused with various botanical ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Camomile, Tea Tree Oil, and Azulene. Fruit waxes such as peach, apple and strawberry are often used in salons.

A lotion is rubbed onto the hand before submersion into a paraffin bath. The hand is dipped twice to allow a thicker wax coating to form so that it stays warm. After the hands have been dipped in wax, they are wrapped in either plastic or tin foil, and then covered with cloth to retain their warmth.

Hot Oil Manicure
A hot oil manicure is a specific type of manicure that cleans the cuticles and softens them with oil. It improves dry skin and brittle nails by leaving them soft and pliable. Types of oil that can be used are mineral oil, olive oil or an electrically heated commercial preparation.
