Nail Care, before it is considered as a luxury for the few or only wealthy people can

afford to pamper themselves, but now it is within the reach of the general public. In fact, part

of a person’s grooming and a form of inexpensive relaxation is a regular nail care activity –

be it a manicure, pedicure, hand spa, or foot spa.

The following shows the proper way of holding and handling some nail care tools or

implements and equipment.

MANICURE AND PEDICURE

Nail File

Hold the file firmly in the right or left hand (as the case may be), with the thumb underneath it for

support and the other four fingers on its upper surface. Place the file slightly under the free edge and

file the nail from corner to center, shaping the nail. Never file back and forth; this would cause the nails to

crack and split. Do not file deep into the corners; this

weakens the nails, hurt the skin and cause ingrown nails.

Emery Board

It is held in the same manner as the nail file. Bevel the rough surface of the nail using the fine side to

smoothen it. Emery boards are discarded after use on one person.

Orangewood Stick It is held in the same manner as in writing with a

pencil. To loosen cuticle, work around nail; for applying oil or solvent, slightly dip the cotton-tipped

orangewood stick and work around the base of the nail; to clean under the free edge of the nail, from the

center toward each side, with gentle pressure so that live tissue at the root of the nail will not be injured.

Cuticle Nail Pusher

It is held in the same manner as in writing with a pencil. The dull spade side is used to push back and

loosen the cuticles. Keep cuticle moist using cuticle remover while working. Use the cuticle pusher in a flat

position to remove dead cuticle adhering to the nail without scratching the nail plate. In using the pusher,

avoid too much pressure to prevent injury on tissues.

Cuticle Nipper Pick up the cuticle nipper by the handles and turn the cutting edges towards you; place the bent tip of the index finger over the top of the shank. Place the thumb on the side of the handle and the remaining fingers over the opposite handle.

18

Use it with utmost care to remove dead cuticle and hangnails so as not to injure live tissue.

Nail Cutter Hold clippers with cutting edges downward between thumb, index and middle finger. Press clipper handles by squeezing them together and remove excess nail length.

Nail Brush Insert the ring finger and pinky in the nail brush handle and brush the nails with a downward motion from the base to the fingertips to clean the nails and fingers.

Nail Buffer Place the thumb and the ring finger under the handle of the buffer while the index and the middle fingers are on its top and the pinky is on its side. Apply a small amount of powder over the buffer then buff the nails with downward strokes from the base to the free edge of each nail until a smooth clear gloss has been obtained. Buffing helps in giving the nail natural gloss and increases blood circulation to the finger tips. To prevent heating and burning sensation, lift the buffer from the nail after each stroke.

HAND AND FOOT SPA Foot File Start with the course side of the foot file. Gently slide it back and forth across the ball of your foot and the bottom the toes. Still with the rough side of the file work mostly on the outside rim of the heel. Flip the file over and repeat the process with each foot. The fine side will smoothen the skin and leave it feeling polished.

Callous Remover Insert the blade into the callous remover with care. Lay the callous remover on the top thick part of the callous. Do not lay the blade above the area that is going to be cut, as this may result in cutting the soft part of the foot, resulting to open wound. Applying light pressure with a steady hand on the callous remover, gently glide it over the callous. Repeat the process if necessary until the callous is thinner. Smoothen the callous with a foot file.

Pumice Stone After soaking the feet in warm soapy water, use the pumice stone to gently buff away cracked or dry skin of the feet with a soft, circular motion. Never apply heavy pressure to the pumice for this can cause sores, open wounds and possible infection.

Hand and Foot Spa Machine

Make sure that electrical wirings are dry andprotected from accidental water spillage. Set the machine to the

temperature that the client can withstand.
