Russian Manicure in FiDi, NYC
Clean cuticles. Close gel placement. Perfect shape.
Mars Nails is a Russian manicure studio in FiDi, Manhattan, specializing in e-file manicures, builder gel overlays, gel extensions, dry pedicures, and nail art.
What Is a Russian Manicure?
A Russian manicure is a dry e-file manicure focused on detailed cuticle preparation, clean shaping, and gel placed close to the cuticle line.
Dry E-File Prep
We work dry, without soaking, so the nail plate and cuticle area can be prepared with more control before shaping and gel application.
Shape & Structure
Your nail shape is chosen around your natural length, nail plate, and desired result. If extra support is needed, we may recommend builder gel, modeling, or extensions.
Close-to-Cuticle Gel Finish
When you book gel, your nail tech places the color close to the cuticle line so the finish looks clean now and grows out softer.
For each appointment, we use sterilized tools, careful prep, and controlled technique. Mars Nails is led by Margarita Yutsaytis, and her experience guides our detail-focused approach. About the founder →

Russian Gel Manicure
E-file prep + gel color
For natural nails with dry cuticle prep, shaping, and gel placed close to the cuticle. Best if you want a neat manicure that grows out softly over 3-4 weeks.
Builder Gel Manicure
Added strength for natural nails
If your nails bend, break, or stop holding an even shape, builder gel gives them a thin support layer and keeps the manicure clean.
Modeling / Sculpting
Shape correction without a full set
Choose this for broken corners, uneven nails, or a shape transition. We refine the nail architecture without creating a full extension set.
Nail Designs
French, chrome, cat eye, ombré, marble
Want a more custom finish? Add nail art to your base manicure and select extra time when booking for detailed designs or hand-painted work.
Pedicure
Dry / waterless e-file pedicure
Your nail tech preps toenails with an e-file, smooths dry heel texture, and uses sterilized metal tools plus single-use abrasives. Choose gel or a natural no-polish finish.
Nail Extensions
Sculpted length on forms
If you want added length or a full shape transformation, we sculpt gel extensions on forms around your desired length, shape, and hand proportions.

Russian Manicure Questions Before Booking
What’s the difference between a Russian and a regular manicure?
A regular manicure starts by softening the cuticle area and using manual tools. A Russian manicure stays dry. Your nail tech uses an e-file to clean the cuticle area, prep the nail plate, and place gel close for a cleaner grow-out.
What is a dry e-file pedicure?
A dry e-file pedicure is waterless. Your technician skips the soak, cleans the cuticle area, refines dry skin, shapes the nails, and finishes with gel or a natural look. Dry prep keeps the nail and heel texture visible while the work is done. Learn more about our dry e-file pedicure.
Can I bring regular polish or add nail designs?
Yes. You may bring your own regular nail polish, and we can apply it with your manicure or pedicure as a simple polish finish. However, regular polish is not covered by our wear guarantee.
For the best result and proper wear, nail designs are offered only with gel-based services. Please add your design option when booking so we can reserve the correct amount of time. View nail design options.
