The Russian gel manicure is a signature appointment at Nails USA by Vera. Every set is built on dry/e-file preparation so the cuticle line stays razor sharp and the gel finish hugs the natural nail for weeks. The service is ideal for clients who want a refined, long-lasting manicure without committing to full extensions.
- Detailed dry cuticle prep with certified e-file techniques and sterilized bits.
- Contouring of the natural nail plate and apex balancing for even regrowth.
- Structured gel overlay or leveling base to reinforce thin or peeling nails.
- Under-cuticle color application for a clean grow-out and salon gloss.
Perfect for busy lifestyles
Clients choose this service when they need immaculate nails for work, events or everyday confidence. Three to four weeks of chip-resistant wear keeps polish changes off your to-do list, while the structured overlay protects the natural nail from breaks.
Service flow
1. Consultation & custom shape
We review nail history, desired length, lifestyle and any design references before shaping the free edge to match your hand anatomy.
2. Precision dry/e-file prep
Using medical-grade sterilized bits, Vera gently exfoliates the cuticle pocket and sidewalls to reveal a perfectly clean nail plate ready for gel.
3. Structured gel application
Apex balancing with builder gel or leveling base reinforces the natural nail, smooths ridges and prevents chips while keeping the finish lightweight.
4. Color, seal & aftercare
Gel color is floated under the cuticle for a seamless line, finished with gloss or velvet top coat. Each visit ends with a tailored aftercare plan and refill scheduling.
Aftercare essentials
Maintain the longevity of your Russian gel manicure with these studio-approved tips:
- Apply cuticle oil morning and night to keep the overlay flexible.
- Wear gloves for cleaning, gardening and any detergent-heavy tasks.
- Avoid picking or peeling product; schedule a professional removal.
- Book refills every 3–4 weeks to rebalance the apex and protect natural nails.
