There is now a whole new list of nail treatments that focus on health and longevity, from strengthening BIAB to the trendy “Russian manicure.” Even better, the newest nail service that people who like a more simple and, more importantly, a careful manicure are talking about lasts much longer than regular gels will make your nail bed stronger over time, and is said to be one of the cleanest looks to get in salons right now.
Experts explain the rise of the “Ukrainian manicure,” an ultra precise treatment that is becoming popular because of its unique process and waterless technique.
What does a “Ukrainian manicure” mean?
The “Ukrainian manicure” is all about getting ready and being very precise. It includes cleaning the nail bed and taking care of the shape of your nails. “A ‘Ukrainian manicure’ is a very careful completely ‘dry’ method.” Maria Sharova and Yana Galiyeva, co owners of So.Shell, say, “Instead of soaking the hands in water like usual, it uses a combination of precise cuticle scissors and an electronic file (e-file) to gently and safely exfoliate away dead skin.”
“The experience itself is very clean and comfortable; there’s no soaking or softening, just pure accuracy The result is a perfectly smooth even finish that lets you apply the polish closer to the root, which makes your manicure last up to four weeks.”
Taking care of your cuticles carefully which is usually just below the nail fold also keeps your manicure from growing out too quickly. The gap that usually shows up a couple of weeks after BIAB or gels is delayed, so your nails will look perfect for longer.
What makes it different from other manicures?
Sharova and Galiyeva say that the biggest difference is in how the nail is prepared, not in the final coat You can then choose a gel polish BIAB, or Japanese manicure on top if you want.
