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.

A Russian manicure with gel polish typically lasts 3–5 weeks, longer than a standard gel manicure, because the product is applied closer to the nail plate with less risk of lifting at the edges. Results vary based on your nail growth rate, daily activities and aftercare. Avoiding prolonged water exposure and using cuticle oil daily helps extend the wear.

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.

A Russian manicure typically costs between $55 and $75, 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.
