Mars Nails in FiDi, Manhattan
Russian Gel Manicure in NYC
Russian Gel Manicure is a dry e-file gel manicure for natural nails with detailed cuticle cleaning, controlled shaping, close gel placement, and a smooth finish for neat regrowth.
Russian Gel Manicure vs Regular Gel Manicure
The gel polish may look familiar, but this appointment spends more time on dry cuticle prep, nail plate preparation, shaping, and close gel placement before curing.
The cuticle area is prepared dry for better visibility and more control around the nail plate.
Gel is applied close to the cuticle line, so the finish looks cleaner and regrowth is usually softer.
This is gel polish on natural nails. If your nails need structure, choose Builder Gel Manicure.
Safety, Hygiene, and E-File Technique
At Mars Nails, Russian gel manicure is done with controlled e-file technique, single-use files, sterilized metal tools, and attention to the condition of your natural nails.
We adjust bit choice, pressure, and speed for clean cuticle work without over-filing.
Disposable items are used once. Reusable metal tools are sterilized between appointments.
If your nails are thin, tender, damaged, or over-filed, we adjust the service before applying product.
Pricing and Appointment Time
Your appointment takes about 1 hour 30 minutes and includes dry e-file cuticle prep, shaping, nail plate preparation, and gel polish applied close to the cuticle line.
Final pricing depends on removal, nail length, reinforcement, and nail design added.
