Luxury Gel Polish Manicure – Russian Manicure Technique

This meticulous gel polish manicure combines expert cuticle care with precision application for a flawless, long-lasting finish. Using the Russian manicure technique, this treatment provides an ultra-clean, refined look with a perfect gel polish application that lasts beautifully.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Nail Preparation & Shaping • Your nails are cleansed and assessed to determine the best shape for your hands. • Nails are gently filed into your preferred shape (almond, square, oval, etc.).

2. Cuticle Exfoliation – The Russian Manicure Method • A fine drill bit is used to gently and precisely exfoliate the cuticle area, lifting and removing excess skin for a clean, refined look. • This technique ensures the gel polish is applied as close as possible to the cuticle, extending the time before regrowth is visible. • Any remaining dead skin is carefully removed with precision tools, ensuring a smooth, well-prepped nail plate.

3. Nail Plate Preparation • A gentle buffer is used to lightly refine the nail surface, ensuring the perfect adhesion of gel polish. • The nails are cleansed and dehydrated to remove any natural oils that could affect longevity. • A high-quality bonding agent and base coat are applied to provide a strong foundation for the gel polish.

4. Gel Polish Application • First thin coat of premium gel polish is applied and cured under an LED/UV lamp. • Second coat is applied for full, even coverage, followed by another cure. • If needed, a third layer is added to enhance the depth of colour.

5. Perfecting the Finish • A long-lasting, high-shine or matte top coat is applied and cured, sealing in the colour and providing durability. • Any excess product on the skin is gently removed for a flawless, polished look.

6. Hydration & Aftercare • Cuticles are nourished with a luxurious cuticle oil to restore hydration. • A light hand massage is performed using a nourishing cream, leaving your hands feeling soft and pampered. • Aftercare advice is provided to ensure your manicure stays in perfect condition.

The Result:

An ultra-clean, precise, and long-lasting gel manicure with a seamless, close-to-cuticle application that stays flawless for 3-4 weeks.

This treatment is perfect for those who love a high-end, polished look with expertly detailed cuticle work.
