Maintaining beautiful nails can be a feat, especially if your nails grow fast or your polish starts to chip but did you know that the Russian Manicure trend can address all of that?
Russian Manicure is a meticulous method that ditches the traditional soak-and-buf routine in favor of a dry approach. Professional Nail technicians use a high-tech electric file to carefully remove excess cuticle skin and buff the nail plate, creating a smooth, sculpted base for polish.
The meticulous cuticle work and base coat application used in Russian manicures leads to a polish application that seems to hug the nail bed. This translates to a flawless, almost airbrushed, look that can last for a remarkable three to four weeks, compared to the one-to-two week lifespan of a standard manicure.
The Russian manicures meticulous prep work allows for polish application right up to the edge of the nail bed, creating a clean, uninterrupted line that looks impossibly perfect. This is also why many prefer their Russian Manicures with a natural looking color for the base to create a "my nails but better" look.
Some say the Russian manicure promotes stronger, healthier nails. This dry method eliminates the potential for weakened nails from water exposure, while removing dead skin cells can stimulate nail growth.
