You can opt for a hard gel manicure or acrylic manicure to add length to your natural fingernails. Likewise, you can keep the fingernails sturdy and stylish by getting a gel manicure or shellac manicure. But the manicurist will always start the cosmetic beauty treatment by giving a basic or regular manicure. After cleansing your feet, she will shape and file your nails and clean your cuticles. She will complete the basic manicure by applying your choice of nail polish or creating the desired nail art.
