It is very important for a manicurist to learn and understand the anatomy and
function of the nails so you could give your clients a professional and responsible
service and care.
Nails are a part of the skin and are made up of the same protein, keratin
(KER-a-tin), as skin and hair. It is composed of then hardest keratin. The technical
term for nail in onyx ( ON-iks). The purpose of nails is to protect the ends of fingers
and toes and to help the fingers grasp small objects. Adult fingernails grow at an
average rate of 1/8 inch a month; toenails grow more easily. The characteristics of
healthy nails are smooth, shiny, and translucent pink. Its surface is smooth, curved,
and unspotted, without any hollows or wavy ridges.
Normally, nails replace themselves every four months and grow more quickly
in summer than in winter. The nail grows fastest on the middle finger and slowest on
the thumb.
The entire nail structure consists of the parts of the actual nail and structures
of skin beneath and surrounding the nail.
The actual nail consists of the nail body, nail root, and free edge.
The structures beneath the nail include the nail bed. matrix, and lunula.
Nail Bed is the portion of skin beneath the nail body that the nail plates rest
upon. Its is supplied with blood vessels that provide the nourishment
necessary for nail growth. The nail bed also contains nerves.
Matrix (May-triks) contains nerves together with lymph and blood vessels that
produce the nail cells and control the rate of growth of the nails. It is located
under the nail root. The matrix is the very sensitive part of the nail and if
injured will produce nails with irregular growth and disorders.
Note: Be careful not to apply excessive pressure to this area during a manicure.
Lunula is the light-colored half-moon shape at the base of the nail. This is
where the matrix connects with the nail bed.
The skin surrounding the nail includes the cuticle, nail fold, nail grooves, nail
wall, eponychium, perionychium, and hyponychium.
The shapes of your nail should conform to your fingertips. Below are the
different shapes of the nail:
Oval nail Square nail Round nail Squoval nail Pointed nail
1. Oval Nail
It is common among people with long, perfect nail beds. It may be styled
slightly rounded at the base and slightly pointed at the fingertips. Most often this type
of nail has a natural look and looks very good in short-medium length.
2. Square nail
It is created by allowing the nail to grow out straight and then filing the tip
straight across at right angles with the rest of the nail plate.
3. Round Nail
This is ideal for shorter nails. The nail is ideal to grow out at the sides for
approximately 1.5 mm and then the tip is filed into a rounded shape. This is a strong
shape which is great for those who keep their nails short.
4. Squoval Nail
The squoval nail is a square nail but the softer edges of an oval.
5. Pointed Nail
A pointed nail is filed away at the sides to a point at the tip; this shape is very
weak as the sides of the nail (which provide the strength) are totally lost.
Nail diseases are conditions of both the nail, and the surrounding skin which
result from bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Some conditions will show a green,
yellow, or black discoloration of the nail, depending on the nature of the infection.
The main course of infection is through damaged cuticles and broken skin.
Nail disorder, on the other hand is a condition caused by injury to the nail or
disease or imbalance in the body.
As a nail technician, it is very important for you to learn how to recognize the
symptoms of nail disorders so you can make a responsible decision about whether
you should perform a service on your client.
An inflammation is red and sore. An infection will have evidence of pus. Broken
skin or nail tissue is a cut or tear that exposes deeper layers of these structures.
Raised or swollen skin appears fatter than normal skin and rise above the normal
level.
10. Nevus
A brown or black stain on the
nail caused by a pigmented
mole that occurs in the nail.
Application of colored polish
can hide this disorder.
Let us see how much you know by answering the activities given below.
Activity 1. Identification
Directions: Identify the names and characteristics of the following diseases
and disorders of the nails.
Disease/Disorder Characteristics

The following activities will refine your understanding about the concepts and
theories of hand massage. Readings and insights are provided to nurture the existing
knowledge you have.
Hand massage is the manipulation of the hands to relax the client and ease
the discomfort prior to the application of nail polish. It is generally carried out near
the end of the manicure treatment just prior to the application of nail polish. It can
also be carried out on its own if the client wants the effect of the massage but does
not need nail treatment.
3. Knead thumb to the back of the hand and the forearm. Use the thumbs, one
in front of the other, and move backwards or forwards in a gentle sawing action.
Move from the hands to the elbow, and then slide the thumbs back down to the
hands. Repeat step 2 twice.
4. Knead thumb to the palm and the inner forearm. Use the same movements as
in step 2.
6. Wrist circulations, supporting the joints. Support the wrist with one hand and
put your fingers between the client’s gently grasping her hand. Move the wrist
through its full range of movement, first clockwise and then, anticlockwise.
Repeat step 5 or further 2 times.
7. Effleurage to the whole hand and forearm. Use the same movement as in step
1. Repeat step 6 for 5 times.
8. Squeeze clients hand between your own gently, and slide off to finish.
Safety Precaution:
Be very careful to avoid vigorous massage of joints if your client has
arthritis, high blood pressure or has had stroke. Massage increases
circulation and may be harmful to them. Talk with your client throughout the
massage and adjust your touch to the client’s hands.

You can get a model from your schoolmates. You can also practice this craft at
home by asking some of your family members to be your model. You can only proceed
to the next lesson if you are already proficient in plain manicure.
This lesson deals with the proper application of the different basic nail designs
and the techniques in nail polish application for your customers’ satisfaction.
Know
Nail design adds beauty, color, elegance, fun, inspiration, glamour, and style. It
has become a popular trend nowadays because most of the beauty salons available in
town offer this kind of service. Beautiful nail designs not only adorn nails but is also a
great way of showing off your beautiful fingernails.
To perform this activity, you must be very creative and focus. The choice of color
and design reflect one’s personality.
Nail polish is used to coat the nail plate for a number of reasons:
Remember: Do not apply nail polish if your client has the following circumstances:
If there are diseases and disorders of the nail plate and surrounding skin.
If the client is allergic to nail enamel.
If nails are short or bitten. It should be painted only with the nail enamels
to avoid attracting attention.
The following are basic nail designs which is easy to learn and can be offered in
a nail salon. Steps and illustrations are shown below.
A. Plain manicure
2. Half-Moon
It is a design which involves the application of colored polish over the whole
part of the nail except the area of the free-edge. Various fashion experts believe that it
is one of a kind manicure process that will never get out of style because it is classic
and stylish compared with other manicure styles and designs.
It involves the application of white nail polish or colored polish on the tips and
coating the rest of the nail with a sheer polish. It’s suitable for short nails and those with
moderate length of nail.
4. Elephant Tusk
Elephant tusk is a style that involves the application of nail polish to create
S -curve, leaving a slightly larger gap along the nail walls.
1. Apply white or platinum nail polish and leave for a few minutes to dry.
2. Apply colored nail polish creating a half- circle design at the inner side of the nail as
you continue it to form S-like.
3. Fill up the other side to complete the design.
4. Remove excess polish.
5. Seal with a top coat.
Sheer colors and “jelly” polishes are great for regular manicures, but highly-
pigmented colors are best for nail art.
Always use a base coat and finish with a glossy top coat for shine and protection.
These are like primer and powder for the face – essential for staying power!
