Here's what's involved:
* Removal: The existing nail polish is removed using a cotton ball soaked in acetone or a similar product.
* Cleaning and Prep: The nails are then cleaned and filed into the desired shape. Cuticles are pushed back, and the nail surface is lightly buffed to remove any ridges or imperfections.
* Application: The new nail polish is applied in a few coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. A top coat is usually applied to protect the color and add shine.
It's different from a full manicure in that it doesn't include any additional treatments like:
* Cuticle trimming: A manicure polish change usually only involves pushing back the cuticles, not trimming them.
* Hand massage: This service focuses on the nail polish, not the overall hand care.
* Paraffin wax: While some salons might offer it as an add-on, it's not included in a standard polish change.
A manicure polish change is a quick and affordable way to refresh your nails and change up your look. It's usually a much shorter appointment than a full manicure.
