Manicure and pedicure are nail care services that involve trimming, shaping, and grooming the nails, along with cuticle care and sometimes a relaxing massage, for both hands and feet.

The term “manicure” comes from the Latin word “manus,” which means “hand,” and “cura,” meaning “care.” Similarly, “pedicure” is derived from the Latin word “pes,” which means “foot,” and “cura.” So, both terms reflect the care and grooming of the hands and feet, respectively.

Gel manicures and pedicures are perfect for those seeking low maintenance nail care. With their longer-lasting results, you can avoid concerns about polish dulling or chipping. We would suggest opting for a gel pedicure, especially if you have travel plans or anticipate spending ample time at the beach or pool.

Gel nail extensions.

Gel nail extensions offer a better alternative to traditional acrylics, as they reduce exposure to harsh chemicals. Although gel nails still involve the use of UV light and adhesives, they are gentler on the nails’ integrity compared to acrylics.

A typical pedicure typically remains intact for 1-2 weeks, while a gel pedicure can last 3-4 weeks. For an overall improvement in toenail appearance and cuticle tidiness, opt for a full pedicure package. To prolong your pedicure, apply a clear topcoat every 7-10 days or fix minor chips with the base coat.

Compared to regular manicures, gel pedicures are less prone to chipping or smudging. When your nails begin to chip or grow out, it indicates the need for a new manicure to maintain a polished appearance.
