As the name suggests, Russian manicures originated in Russia. This specific technique, which is also called “dry” or “e-file” manicures, was created in the 1990s by Russian nail technicians who wanted manicures that could withstand the temperatures of their area (read: harsh and extremely cold). They were also in search of creating a mani that could provide long-lasting results—which, same. After a lot of experimentation, these technicians realized that focusing on precise cuticle removal and nail shaping was the best method to achieve what they wanted.


Unlike traditional manicures that merely trim and shape the nails, this technique forgoes water and focuses on meticulous attention to detail. What truly sets Russian manicures apart is that they’re all about achieving flawlessly groomed cuticles. During a mani, the technician will use an electric file that gently and accurately removes excess cuticle buildup, which ultimately reveals clean and elongated nail beds. (Longer-looking natural nails are a major plus in our book.) But, because of the major attention to detail, expect a Russian manicure appointment to be a bit longer and pricer than a normal paint, gel, or acrylic mani. And aside from longer, cleaner nails, another thing we love about this method is that it helps manicures last for up to five (!) weeks.
