Technique Guide
Dry manicure explained for first-time Russian manicure clients
No soaking does not mean less care.
Dry manicure work is intentionally controlled. Without water swelling the nail plate, the technician can prepare the nail and cuticle area with more visual accuracy before polish or gel is applied.
Russian manicure precision
Detailed cuticle care, refined shaping, and long-lasting polish work are central to the studio experience.

Why dry prep is used
Dry prep keeps the nail surface more stable before product application and supports a neat polish edge.
How it feels
A good dry manicure should feel precise, not harsh. The service focuses on controlled refinement rather than force.
When it pairs best
Dry prep pairs beautifully with hard gel, gel polish, French, chrome, and clean natural finishes.
