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.
