French nails are the true classics of manicure. As early as the 18th century, upper class women are said to have colored their nail tips white to hide the dirt under their nails. Even today, the tip of the nail is emphasized so that it stands out from the rest of the nail. In the classic variant, the nail tips are colored white, the rest of the nail is given a pink coat of paint. On top of that, there is usually a clear varnish to protect the natural and very noble-looking masterpiece. Book an appointment for a manicure in Zurich now!

Our hands are always ready and help us in any situation. In addition to the effects of the weather, they are also constantly exposed to bacteria, dirt and chemical substances such as cleaning agents. But there is often little time left to care for our essential everyday helpers. That is why our manicures always begin with a relaxing and nourishing hand bath. The well-tempered water bath loosens muscles and receptors and prepares them well for a subsequent massage.

The most important part of caring for your finger nails is trimming them. But not with scissors – the gentlest way is filing with sand or glass files. This way, no sharp edges are left behind and there is no risk of the nails getting caught or even tearing. The cuticle is the link between the nail and the outside world. It should not be removed, just gently pushed back. With hardened cuticles, cuticle removers or soaks can help, which soften and peel off the thin skin. Nail groove fillers can be used to level out unevenness in the nails. In this way, the nails are optimally prepared for the application of the nail polish during the manicure.

Various vitamins and minerals are responsible for a healthy and well-groomed appearance of the nails. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to a balanced diet. Foods containing vitamins A, B and C must be on the menu regularly. You should also make sure that your body is adequately supplied with calcium and iron. This strengthens the nails, they are no longer brittle and thus regain their shine.
