The word manicure comes from a combination of the Latin words “manus” – hand and “cura” – care. The art of manicure has an ancient history. Today, manicure means a system for hand care, which includes skin and nail care, medical treatments and procedures, painting techniques and even fake nail application.3000 years ago, the people of ancient Egypt and China had no idea of the possibilities of contemporary manicure. They only covered the top of their nails in bright tones, while the peasantry was allowed to use paler and more natural tones.
