What is a Russian Manicure?
Russian manicure is an exclusive nail service that features meticulous cuticle exfoliation. Unlike traditional polish services, this procedure takes place dry (i.e. not in water).
Nail technicians use an electric file to open and smooth out eponychiums and remove excess cuticle skin, enabling them to add product under all corners and crevices of each nail for a flawless finish.
Customers love this service because of its long-lasting, polished results that last up to four weeks without needing touch ups like gel, dip or regular polish services require.
Nail technicians specializing in Russian manicures provide clients with an elite, professional experience characterized by impeccable skills and precision. While this service tends to cost more than standard manicures, it’s important that clients understand this when making appointments for this service. In order to perform it effectively, nail technicians need the proper equipment – including electric nail drills and cuticle scissors with unique attachments.
What is a Basic Manicure?
A basic manicure is a service designed to put the care of your nails first. This service includes deep cleaning of both nail plate and cuticle areas, nail shaping, application of base coat and two coats of polish as well as top coat.
The Russian manicure is an emerging service that has quickly grown in popularity for its precision and durability, not to mention its ability to protect healthy nails against becoming dry or damaged. Due to specialized training requirements and sterilized equipment needs, however, this service may not be offered as often in salons.
Though there are DIY tutorials for Russian manicures online, professional services should always be sought to ensure the health and safety of your nails. As with any manicure service, Russian manicures take time and may take up to an hour or more – however the results make this worth while and can significantly elevate nail game.
How is a Russian Manicure done?
Russian manicure, also known as dry manicure, is an advanced nail care technique designed to promote healthy nails and cuticle care. This involves an intricate process in which nails are not submerged in water prior to beginning service; professional tools like an electric file are then utilized during this service.
Once nails have been trimmed and prepared for polish, a base coat is applied as a preparation step. Next, special cuticle cream is applied to push back eponychium and prevent cuticle lifting – something common with traditional manicures.
Once the nails have been polished with either regular polish or gel nail color, a Russian manicure involves precise cuticle work that stops polish from bubbling, making the results far longer-lasting than traditional manicure techniques. For optimal results, look for a nail specialist trained specifically in this technique who uses sterilized equipment (ask about their experience as well as how they clean and disinfect files, wood sticks and buffers before visiting). Be wary of salons that use reusable buffers between clients!

Russian manicures stand out from other techniques by their intricate cuticle work and tailored base coat. This helps nail color last longer without peeling, chipping or other visible degradations occurring over time.
This technique, also referred to as dry manicure or an e-file manicure, doesn’t rely on water/solution soaks, nail clippers or cuticle pushers as a means of prepping nails or softening cuticles before filing them down; rather an electric drill bit is used by nail technicians to gently file down cuticles and shape nails.
Due to its higher skill level, this manicure requires much more care and precision than traditional methods; therefore, it may take up to two hours. But its numerous advantages – such as meticulous cuticle care, long-lasting results and healthier nails in general – make it worth investing your time – just make sure that the nail technician performing it uses sterilized equipment!
