Russian Manicure
A dry, waterless manicure technique that uses an electric file (e-file) to remove the entire cuticle and excess skin around the nail plate, so polish sits flush against bare skin with an ultra-clean, almost photoshopped edge. The finished look reads precise, minimal, and salon-immaculate.
