The Manicure is the most common kind of procedure salons offer.

You can also ask for the classic French Manicure. The French Manicure is elegant looking and great for special occasions or regular wear as it goes with most colours and outfits. The French Manicure procedure is much the same as a regular manicure, except that your nails are filed to form rounded square shapes and the a pale pink varnish is applied and finished up with a stroke of white varnish across the top. The effect of the French Manicure is to mimic the look of your natural nails while evening them out in length artificially.

Pedicures are also popular, and the procedure consists of having your feet soaked and loofahed, then the nails cleaned and cut, and the cuticles pushed back. Finally, a shade of varnish is applied. Great for having pretty, beach-ready feet!

These extensions look authentic, and can be painted and treated like normal ones - they are simply glued onto your actual nail and they last until your nail begins to grow, leaving a telltale gap between the cuticle and the extension.
