Manicure and pedicure are two cosmetic nail treatments that involve cleaning, shaping, and polishing the nails, as well as applying moisturizers and treatments to the hands and feet. The main difference between the two is that a manicure focuses specifically on the fingernails, while a pedicure focuses on the toenails and feet. However, some nail spa treatments tend to both your manis and pedis in one service.
