The cuticle protects the nail root, which is why the American Academy of Dermatology does not recommend pushing or cutting cuticles. Doing so makes it easier for bacteria to infect your nails and skin. Russian manicures are invasive, cutting the cuticle; and this makes them controversial. If you do opt for a Russian manicure, make sure it’s carried out by a certified, experienced technician.

Most Russian manicures are finished with gel polish or builder gel for a long-lasting, high-shine result. Browse and book nail technicians near you offering Russian e-file manicure with gel finish.

You’ll need to set a decent amount of time aside for a Russian manicure: it can take 1½-4 hours to complete because of the intricacy of the cuticle work.

A Russian manicure typically costs between £50 and £50, depending on the technician's experience, your location and whether builder gel or gel polish is included. The higher price compared to a regular manicure reflects the skill level, training and time required. Fresha shows upfront pricing for every service before you book.

Unlike traditional manicures, which soak your cuticles in warm water before trimming or pushing them back, a Russian manicure uses an electric file or drill to precision-clean your cuticles and remove any extra cuticle from beneath your nail bed. They are sometimes referred to as ‘dry’ manicures. Some people believe Russian manicures are shinier and longer-lasting.
