Russian manicure and e-Filing
A Russian manicure, sometimes called a dry manicure, places a strong emphasis on thorough cuticle detailing using a specialised e-file to gently remove any excess skin along the nail bed. Through careful shaping and buffing, this technique yields a sleek, elongated appearance while also minimizing the risk of lifting or chipping. Much like BIAB and traditional gel manicures, the Russian manicure bolsters nail strength through the application of resilient, chip-resistant layers. As a result, it delivers a pristine, polished finish that can last for weeks, making it an ideal choice for those who want a durable, professional look.


What is a Russian manicure?
Unlike the familiar, conventional manicure, a Russian manicure is marked by its extraordinary attention to detail. Developed in Russia, this technique replaces traditional cuticle clippers with specialised e-files and precision attachments, ensuring every contour around the nail is meticulously refined.

What is the difference between a gel manicure and a Russian manicure?
While a gel manicure is centered on the type of polish and its lasting finish, a Russian manicure emphasises meticulous cuticle care and preparation of the nail. They can be combined, however: one could get a Russian manicure to prep the nails and then have a gel polish applied for a long-lasting, polished look.

Frequently asked questions
Nail Extenstions
No, Russian manicures are not extensions
While Russian manicures can be combined with nail extensions, the two are not synonymous. Russian manicure is primarily a technique for natural nail care, while extensions involve adding artificial tips or overlays to the nails
Do you do BIAB?
BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) is a type of builder gel that strengthens and extends your natural nails and is the same as the Gel Manicure treatment we offer
Gel or Hard Gel
Gel is a type of nail enhancement that involves applying a thick layer of hard gel to the nail, which is then shaped and cured under a UV or LED light.
Hard gel manicure is ideal for individuals with weak or brittle nails.
Do Russian manicures last longer?
Russian manicures typically last 3 to 5 weeks, compared to 2 to 3 weeks for traditional gel manicures. This longevity is attributed to the meticulous cuticle work, which allows polish to be applied closer to the cuticle area without lifting.
