Signature Russian Gel Manicure
In a Russian manicure, the cuticles are meticulously cleaned and pushed back using special cuticle removers and gentle techniques. The nail plate is then carefully shaped and buffed to create a smooth surface. This technique often involves the use of electric files or e-files with fine drill bits to refine the nail shape and remove any imperfections.
