Manikyyriin

Manikyyriin is a Finnish term referring to a manicure, a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands. It typically involves a series of steps designed to improve the overall appearance and health of the nails and skin. The process often begins with filing the nails to a desired shape and length, followed by cuticle care, which may include softening, pushing back, or trimming. The hands are usually exfoliated to remove dead skin cells, and then moisturized to ensure hydration. Depending on the specific service, a manikyyriin can also include a hand massage. The final step often involves applying nail polish, either a clear coat, a colored lacquer, or specialized treatments like gel polish or acrylics. Various types of manikyyriin exist, ranging from basic at-home care to professional salon services that offer more elaborate treatments and designs. The term can also encompass pedicures, which are treatments for the toenails and feet, although it specifically refers to hand and fingernail care.
