Objectives:
After completing today's activities, you will be able to:
---identify personal care procedures for nail care.
---Identify ten good grooming terms.
Instructions:
1. Today you are going to give each other a manicure. If you are not already aware of it, boys should know that males as well as females get manicures. However, they may not fingernail polish.
2. First, locate the video, "Manicuring" or click on http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-give-yourself-a-manicure. Take it to one of the TV/VCR's and view the video. There are no questions for you to answer. Rewind it and return it to the video rack.
3. The video was created to train nail technicians. You do not need to set up the area, massage the hands and arms, or trim the cuticle as they showed a professional doing. You will follow the instructions below.
-----A. Remove old nail polish or any surface dirt. Do not smear the old polish into the cuticles or surrounding tissues.
-----B. File the nails to the shape desired. You can use a file or emery board to accomplish this.
-----C. When you have finished with one hand, soak that hand in a soap bath to permit softening of the cuticles. Finish filing the nails on the other hand.
-----D. Dry the fingers on the hand that was soaking and soak the remaining hand.
-----E. Apply cuticle remover (solvent) by winding a thin layer of cotton around the bunt edge of a cuticle stick for use as an applicator. Put the cotton in the solvent and rub it on the cuticles.
-----F. Use the spoon end of the cuticle pusher to gently loosen the cuticle. Keep the cuticle moist while working on it. NOTE: Use a light pressure so the tissue at the root of the nail will not be injured.
-----G. Repeat steps "D" through "F" for the other hand.
-----H. Girls at this point you may apply clean polish as a base coat and then color for the second coat.
4. Now, it is time for the second partner to receive a manicure following the same procedures.
5. At the two minute warning, clean up the manicure materials by placing towels in the washing machine, washing the bowl, throwing away the used files, and placing the polished, etc. into the manicure kit and putting it away
