Combining Russian Manicures and Pedicures for Ultimate Glam

Tired of manicures that chip and fade within days? Craving a nail treatment that lasts, looks flawless, and promotes your nails’ health? We’ve spoken to tons of beauty gurus, and the results are unanimous. Russian manicures and pedicures have taken NYC by storm.

But what makes this treatment so different, and why is everyone talking about it?

The Dry Difference

Unlike traditional manis and pedis, which rely on acetone soak-offs, one of the hallmarks of a Russian manicure is the use of a specialized dry technique to file any gel polish away. This technique gently removes the eponychium, the thin layer of skin that often attaches to the nail plate cuticle skin, avoiding painful hangnails without trimming or soaking and shaping the nail bed to your liking.

So, why the change? While soaking your nails might seem relaxing, it’s actually not doing them any favors. In fact, it causes them to expand and contract, weakening the nail plate and making them prone to breakage, chipping, and peeling. By skipping this step, Russian manicures can make your nail beds look longer and promote stronger, healthier nails from the beginning.

The result? A cleaner, polished look that’s virtually impossible to achieve with traditional methods. Though this technique requires precision and experience, the results are undeniably worth it.

The Perfect Pair

Channel ultimate clean-girl glam with a combo Russian manicure and pedicure. The meticulous cuticle work of the Russian technique creates a flawless, natural-looking base, perfectly in line with the clean aesthetic.

Your Post-Mani Pedi Ritual

To ensure your Russian mani pedi lasts as long as possible, follow our post-treatment ritual to keep your nails looking and feeling their best.

1. Keep your cuticles hydrated and healthy with nourishing cuticle oil to keep your hands supple and promote healthy nail growth. A few drops applied in the morning and evening will do wonders for your nails’ appearance and health.
2. Use mild, moisturizing soaps and hand sanitizers that won’t strip away your natural oils.
3. When tackling household chores or gardening, slip on a light pair of gloves to protect your nails against harsh chemicals and excessive water exposure.
4. Resist the intrusive urge to pick or peel off your nail polish, as doing so can harm your natural nails. Remember, your nails are a reflection of your inner radiance; treat them like the treasures they are!
