At $25k, the worlds most expensive manicure will shine your nails with real gold and diamonds. Why stop at jewelry when dazzling, diamond studded nails could be your next accessory? A Californian salon called Images Luxury Nail Lounge is cashing in on the nail art craze with some seriously high end manicures.

If you have weak or brittle nails, consider a regular or shellac manicure as they are less damaging. If longevity is a priority, opt for a gel or dip powder manicure. If you want to add length or dramatically change your nail shape, acrylics could be your best bet.

A manicure involves trimming, shaping, and buffing fingernails; a pedicure typically involves exfoliating the skin on your feet before soaking them in warm water. Both treatments usually include cuticle care, nail painting or buffing, and hand massage.

The English word manicure comes from the French word manucure, meaning care of the hands, which in turn originates from the Latin words manus, for hand, and cura, for care. Similarly, the English word pedicure comes from the Latin words pes (genitive case: pedis), for foot, and cura, for care.
