In the nail care industry, trends come and go, but some techniques stand the test of time. The Russian manicure has redefined the artistry of nail experiences with its meticulous attention to detail, transformative results, and unmatched beauty.
What is a Russian Manicure?
A Russian manicure is more than just a nail treatment, it elevates nail care to an art form. Originating from the skilled hands of Russian Manicurists, and often referred to as European Manicure and Combined/Dry E-file Manicure, this method epitomises precision and sophistication. Unlike traditional manicures, which focus primarily on shaping and polishing the nails, the Russian manicure prioritises the health and integrity of the nail bed, whilst intricately removing all keratinised protein (dead skin) from the nail plate ensuring a flawless canvas for stunning nail enhancements.
The treatment begins with gentle dehydration of the skin and nail plate before careful lifting of the cuticle, preparing the nails for intricate work. Using specialised tools, such as gentle diamond bits tailored to your skin type, to meticulously exfoliate and remove excess cuticle and dead skin leaving a pristine, glowing finish. This precise process creates a clean and uniform surface, allowing for seamless application of gel polish.
