What is a "manicure bowl"?

A manicure bowl is a small basin or bowl specifically designed for manicure treatments. It is typically shallow and wide, allowing the hands to comfortably rest inside. Manicure bowls are used to soak and soften the nails, cuticles, and fingertips prior to nail care and polish application. They are often filled with warm water or a specialized soaking solution that helps to hydrate and relax the hands. Some manicure bowls may have additional features such as built-in hand rests or massaging elements to enhance the overall pampering experience.
