Expect glowing, soft skin and strong, glossy nails that last. The ideal treatment for clients who want both results and relaxation in one appointment.

Luxury Hand Manicure with Builder Gel 

A Russian Manicure is a dry e-file manicure focused on detailed, precise cuticle work. Using specialised electric bits, the cuticle is gently lifted, exfoliated, and cleaned for a neat, extended nail plate. This allows the builder gel and gel polish to sit closer to the skin, giving a clean, long-lasting finish with better retention and minimal lifting. The service includes nail shaping, full Russian e-file cuticle prep, a builder gel overlay for strength, gel polish application, and a nourishing cuticle oil finish. Ideal for clients who love a tidy, polished look that lasts for weeks. This service is perfect for anyone who struggles with lifting or wants a flawless, grown-out finish. Once you try it, you’ll never go back!
