Russian Manicure
A dry-technique manicure using professional electric files for exceptional precision — resulting in a cleaner nail bed, healthier cuticles, and longer-lasting gel polish.
What is a Russian Manicure?
A Russian Manicure is performed completely dry — no water, no soaking. Using professional electric files, the cuticle area and nail bed are refined with a level of precision that traditional manicures simply can't achieve.
The result is a visibly cleaner nail bed, smoother cuticle line, and significantly longer-lasting gel adhesion — often 3–4 weeks compared to the usual 2. This technique is ideal for anyone who wants their manicure to look freshly done for longer, and who appreciates meticulous, unhurried attention to detail.
