What is It
The
English
word manicure comes
from
the
French
word manucure,
meaning "care of the hands", which in turn originates from the Latin words manus,
for "hand", and cura, for "care". Similarly, the English word pedicure comes from
the Latin words pes (Genitive case - pedis), for "foot", and cura, for "care",
(wikipedia.com).
In cleaning toenails and fingernails, correct tools and equipment should be
used. Each tool has its own used, same with the equipment. In using it, extra care
is necessary and if you are just a beginner you need constant correct practice. As
