Also known as an "e-file manicure" or electronic file manicure, the Russian Manicure gets its name and reputation from the multi-step manicure process that has been done by Russian nail technicians for years. Unlike traditional manicures and regular gel manicures, which involve just soaking the nail to soften the cuticle, pushing the cuticle back, and trimming it, the Russian Manicure involves a dry process of filing, cutting, and removing the cuticle with electric drill bits entirely for a clean, edge-less look. "The e-file machine gently removes the cuticle,
while leaving no roughness or damage on the skin,"

In the hands of a trained professional--yes. In the
hands of an inexperienced newbie-not so much. That's because cutting the cuticle improperly can put you at risk for infection. On the topic of cutting cuticles, The American Academy of Dermatology states, "When you trim or cut your cuticles, it's easier for bacteria and other germs to get inside your body and cause an infection. If you get a nail infection, it can sometimes take a long time to
clear."

That's why, when it comes to getting a Russian Manicure, it's super important to be sure your nails
are in the hands of an experienced nail technician.

A beautiful, well-groomed nail is an important part of your overall look. Attractive nails and hands enhance your appearance, whether you spend your days in a kitchen or in a boardroom. A basic manicure takes between 20-30 minutes. Artificial nail services, such as tips, acrylics and gels, average about 40 minutes. The cost is quite affordable, and the results are well worth it.

Shellac Is a Hybrid Nail colour, It applies like a polish, wears flawlessly for 14 days of high gloss shine, and is removed in minutes.

For people who have a tendency to bite or pick at their nails, there is a 90 percent success rate of stopping this habit with artificial nail applications. There are two reasons for this. First, people are less likely to ruin something they've spent time and money on. Secondly, nail biters are generally inspired by having beautiful hands for the first time in their lives. It can give you the long, healthy-looking nails you've always wanted!

Gels and acrylics are similar in that they both can be used
to extend the length of the nails and make them stronger. One advantage of gel services is that they are odourless and transparent. Like acrylic, gels can be applied over the
natural nail or over artificial nail tips.

Yes. A lot of women have been polishing their nails for decades with no harmful effects. As a matter of fact, the polishes available today are safer than ever. Don't be
afraid.

Maintaining the longevity of your beautiful nails requires regular refills. It is recommended to schedule refill appointments every 4-6 weeks. This timeframe ensures that your nails remain in optimal condition, preserving their stunning appearance and durability.

During the 4-6 week period, natural nail growth can create a visible gap between the nail bed and the existing nail enhancements. Refills help fill this gap, resulting in a seamless and natural look. By getting regular refills, you can maintain the aesthetic appeal of your nails and prevent any lifting or chipping that may occur over time.

Not only do refills enhance the appearance of your nails, but they also contribute to their long-lasting performance. With timely refills, your nails will remain durable and resilient, even with everyday activities.
