Signature Service
Russian Manicure in Midtown NYC
Precision prep before the polish.
Russian manicure is a dry, detail-focused technique. At RM, the appointment is built around careful nail prep, precise cuticle refinement, balanced shaping, and a polished finish that stays clean as the nail grows.
Long-wear finish
Hard gel and polish options are structured for shine, balance, and a refined grow-out.
Midtown access
The studio is close to Lexington Avenue, Park Avenue, and Grand Central for city appointments.
Before your appointment
A clean Russian manicure is commonly maintained around 3 to 4 weeks, depending on nail growth and product choice.
Keep the cuticle area hydrated and avoid picking at the polish edge so the manicure grows out cleanly.
