Achieve Perfectly Clean Nails with a Russian Manicure in Cardiff
What is a Russian manicure?
What makes a Russian Manicure different from a regular manicure?
A Russian manicure stands out from a regular manicure because it focuses on detailed, precise cuticle care using specialised tools, without soaking the nails, completely dry. The technique involves gently removing dead skin around the nail, shaping the cuticles (skin at the base of the natural nail) and providing a smooth, flawless finish. Unlike traditional manicures, which may rely on pushing back the cuticles or trimming them with different type of tools, a Russian manicure is a dry, more intricate process that results in cleaner, more defined nails. This method is especially popular for those looking for long-lasting, polished, and well-maintained nail aesthetics.
What’s the first step in a Russian manicure?
The technician will begin by assessing the condition of your nails and cuticles. They will discuss your preferences and determine the best approach for your nails.
What kind of tools do you use in a Russian manicure?
What is an electric nail file (e-file) and why do you use it?
We use an electric nail file (e-file) and professional drill bits for precise cuticle care. The e-file gently removes dead skin and excess cuticle tissue, followed by the use of cuticle nippers providing a smoother, more refined finish than traditional pushing, ensuring a clean and detailed manicure.
Why Do You Cut Dry and Dead Skin Around the Nails?
Cutting dry and dead skin around the nails ensures a clean look and prevents buildup, which can lead to infections or discomfort. This step helps maintain healthy, neat cuticles, allowing your nails to look fresh for longer.
What Are Cuticle Nippers and Scissors, and Why Do We Use Different Ones?
Cuticle nippers are small, sharp tools used to trim away dead or overgrown cuticle tissue. Cuticle scissors, on the other hand, have a fine tip and are used for more precise cutting, often for trimming dry skin or hangnails. Both tools are used based on the type of work needed and the condition of the cuticles.
Caring for Your Russian Manicure
What Is the Aftercare for a Russian Manicure?
After a Russian manicure, it’s important to keep your cuticles moisturised with cuticle oil and hand cream after every hand wash, and avoid exposing your nails to harsh chemicals. Wear gloves when washing dishes. Regular hydration will keep your cuticles and nails healthy and avoid picking at all or pushing back the cuticles too soon to ensure long-lasting results.
How Long Does a Russian Manicure Last?
A Russian manicure can last up to 2-3 weeks, depending on your nail growth and how well you take care of your nails. Maintenance is recommended to achieve beautiful and clean look.
