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.
Nail body or Plate - is the main part or plate of nail that is attached to the
skin at the tip of the finger.
Nail root - is where the nail growth begins. It is embedded underneath the
skin at the base of the nail.
Free edge - is the end of the nail that extends beyond the fingertip.
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.
Cuticle( KYOO-ti-kel) is the overlapping skin around the nail. A normal
cuticle should be loose and pliable.
Nail Fold Or Mantle (MAN-tel) is the deep fold or skin at the base of the nail
where the nail root is embedded.
Nail Grooves are slits or tracks in the nail bed at the sides of the nail on which
the nail grows.
Nail Wall is the skin on the sides of the nail above the grooves.
Eponychium (ep-o-NIK-ee-um) is the thin line of skin at the base of the nail
that extends from the nail wall to the nail plate.
Perionychium (PER-i-o-nikee-um) is the part of the skin that surrounds the
entire nail area.
Hyponychium (heye-poh-NIK-ee-um) is the part of the skin under the free
edge of the nail.
Shapes of Nail
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 and Disorders
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.
9. Onychorrexis
It is a split or brittle nails, caused by
injury to the finger or exposure to
harsh chemicals. You may give oil
manicures to improve the condition.
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.

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.
Directions: Find a partner from your classmates and apply the steps in hand
massage. Observe each other's work and give suggestions for the
improvement of your work. To know if your partner performed well, rate

better. Use small piece of cotton saturated with alcohol or polish remover and wipe
off the nail.
14. Apply colored polish. Apply two coats of colored polish with the same technique
used for the base coat. Complete your first color coat on both hands before starting
the second coat. If you get polish on the cuticle, use a cotton-tipped orangewood
stick saturated with nail polish remover to clean it off.

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:
To adorn the nail;
To disguise stained nails;
To add temporary strength to weak nails; and
To coordinate with the clothes or make-up.
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
Tips: Learn the history of color by buying an artist color wheel. You can use what you
learn to help clients select complementary colors that match.
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.
Remember….fewer coats = fewer mistakes.
