Russian Manicure / E-file Hard Gel
$20.00 deposit required
A Russian manicure or E-File is a dry manicure (no soaking) that uses an electric file to remove excess skin and cuticles around the nail bed. This allows the polish to get closer to the cuticle, creating a longer-lasting, more natural look. Why Russian Manicure Vs Conventional Manicure? A Russian manicure uses an electric file (e-file) for precise, dry cuticle removal, creating a super clean, long-lasting finish by lifting the cuticle for polish to sit perfectly, while a regular manicure typically involves soaking hands and manually pushing back/trimming softened cuticles with clippers, offering a quicker, more traditional, but less durable result. The Russian method excels at preventing lifting and chipping for weeks, but requires a skilled technician.
