Russian Manicure Course Online

A Russian manicure is a dry manicure technique. Instead of soaking the hands, the technician uses an e-file with fine bits to lift the cuticle, remove the dead pterygium from the nail plate and clean the side walls, then trims or refines the cuticle line. Only dead tissue is removed.

Because the nail plate stays dry and clean, gel can be applied very close to the cuticle and typically lasts 3–4 weeks. Read more in what is a Russian manicure and see the full professional sequence in how to do a Russian manicure step by step.

This is a structured e-file training guide focused on achieving clean cuticles, precise nail prep, and long-lasting manicure results.

Proper nail plate preparation is one of the most important steps for achieving strong product adhesion and preventing lifting.

This structured step-by-step guide helps nail technicians understand how to perform each stage correctly to create clean cuticles, careful nail prep, and longer-lasting wear.
