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.

Dry e-file prep

The cuticle area is prepared dry for better visibility and more control around the nail plate.

Close gel placement

Gel is applied close to the cuticle line, so the finish looks cleaner and regrowth is usually softer.
