Step 1

During the consultation discuss the

MANICURE
needs of the client and adapt the
service to suit. You should cover
preferred nail length and shape and
the type of polish required. If there are
no contra-indications present you are
ready to begin.
Step 2
Ask the client to pick her choice of
varnish – dark, plain, frosted or
French manicure. You should

MANICURE recommend a nail finish suitable


for the client. Remember, dark
colours will make the nails appear
shorter, so this may not be a
suitable colour for short or bitten
nails.
Step 3
Remove the old varnish and check the

MANICURE
nails for ridges and problems as you
go. Removing the polish will allow the
nail plate to be examined in a natural
condition. Sanitise the hand to prevent
cross-infection while you do a manual
contraindication check.
Step 4
Cut the nails into shape if
MANICURE required, using sterilised
scissors. Nail clippings
need to be caught in a
tissue and disposed of.
Step 5
File the nails using an emery

MANICURE board working outside in one


way one side and then the
other – avoid using a sawing
action.
Step 6

MANICURE Bevelling seals the free


edge layers to prevent
water loss and damage.
Step 7
Using an orange stick
decant and apply
MANICURE cuticle cream around
the cuticles.
Step 8
Gently massage the
MANICURE cream into the cuticles.
This softens the skin,
making removal easier.
Step 9
Soak the hands in warm
MANICURE water (tested by you first)
to absorb the cuticle
cream and to soften them.
Step 10

MANICURE Remove one hand at a


time and dry the hands
thoroughly.
Step 11
Apply cuticle remover with a
cotton wool bud. It is caustic,
MANICURE so take care to apply sparingly
and not on to the surrounding
skin. Refer to COSHH
regulations and the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 12
Using a hoof stick flat to
MANICURE the nail plate, gently push
the cuticle back using
circular motions.
Step 13
You may need to use the cuticle knife

MANICURE to ease the excess cuticle away from


the nail plate. This should be kept flat
and the nail plate should be damp so
that the nail plate is not scratched.
The knife should also be kept flat to
avoid cutting the cuticle.
Step 14
Cuticle nippers may be
MANICURE used to trim off the
excess cuticle; use a
tissue to dispose of the
waste.
Step 15

MANICURE Bevel again, to give a


smooth finish to the free
edge.
Step 16
Using a suitable medium

MANICURE begin your hand massage


with light effleurage
movements. Support the
hand and effleurage right up
to the elbow.
Step 17
Circular thumb frictions
MANICURE get rid of tension in the
flexors and extensors of
the forearm.
Step 18
MANICURE Do circular frictions over
the back of the hand.
Step 19
Support the hand and give

MANICURE gentle circular manipulations


to each finger – this will free
tension in the knuckles. Do
not pull on the finger or
make the circles too big.
Step 20
Grip the client’s finger
MANICURE between your bent first
and middle fingers and
pull and twist gently down
the length of the finger.
Step 21
Interlock the client’s fingers

MANICURE with your own and, supporting


the forearm, gently manipulate
the wrist backwards and then
forwards, to loosen the wrist
and get rid of tension.
Step 22
Apply circular thumb
frictions to the palm.
MANICURE Stretch the palm out
slightly.
Step 23

MANICURE Finish your massage with


effleurage up to the
elbow.
MANICURE
Step 24
With warm soapy water, gently wash the nails with a soft brush to remove any grease from the massage medium. It
is important to remove excess moisture, debris and product in order to prepare for the nail finish. Buffing can be
carried out at this point if a natural finish is required. Buff from the matrix to the free edge to stimulate growth and
promote shine. Buffing may also be carried out prior to polish, especially if the nail plate is ridged, as this could help
to minimise the ridges. A ridge filler could be used here before a base coat is applied.
Step 25
Apply a suitable base
MANICURE coat. Some nail systems
have joint strengtheners
or corrective properties
within the base coat.
Step 26
Apply the varnish of the
MANICURE client’s choice, with clean
strokes, without flooding
the cuticle area.
Step 27
A topcoat will give a
MANICURE professional finish and the
results should look good
for some time.
