Russian Manicures in Hamilton–Nail Care at Its Finest

A Russian manicure is more than a polish—it’s a meticulous nail care technique that focuses on detailed cuticle work and a flawless finish. Using specialized electric file tools, we carefully prep the nail bed for a sleek, smooth, and perfected look. 

Healthier Nails | Longer-Lasting Polish | Precise Cuticle Care | Elegant Finish | Reduced Chipping | Smooth Application | Flawless Base for Nail Art

The Russian Manicure Process at CURES Esthetics

  1. Detailed Nail Prep: We begin with specialized electric file tools to gently and precisely clean and shape the cuticle area. This creates a smooth, healthy nail bed and prevents overgrowth.
  2. Perfect Shaping: Nails are carefully shaped to your desired style—whether natural, oval, almond, or square—ensuring symmetry and balance.
  3. Flawless Base Application: A strengthening base coat or gel is applied with precision, giving your nails structure and durability. This step helps protect natural nails while enhancing their appearance.
  4. Seamless Polish Application: Your chosen gel polish is applied with meticulous attention, creating a sleek, even finish that avoids flooding the cuticles.
  5. Luxury Nail Art (Optional): If desired, our skilled artists add custom designs, from minimal accents to bold, intricate art, bringing your vision to life.
  6. Final Touch and Protection: A glossy or matte topcoat is applied to provide a long-lasting shine and durability, locking in your look for weeks. We finish with nourishing oils to hydrate the skin and cuticles.

The result? A Russian manicure in Hamilton that looks flawless, feels elegant, and lasts longer than traditional manicures.

Before You Book: Nail Services FAQs

Are Shellac nails and gel nails the same, and what is the difference between them?

Yes! Both Shellac and gel nails give a long-lasting, glossy finish and require curing under a UV/LED lamp. The main difference is branding: Shellac is a gel nail line by Creative Nail Design (CND), whereas gel nails or a gel manicure refers to any gel-based polish that is cured under UV/LED light.

How long do gel manicures or gel overlays typically last?

With proper nail preparation, gel manicures usually last 2–3 weeks, and in some cases up to four weeks. Even if your nails look fine after three weeks, we recommend removing them by the fourth week to maintain healthy nails.

What exactly is a Russian e-file manicure?

A Russian manicure, also known as an e-file manicure, uses a precision electronic file to carefully remove excess skin around the nail bed. This technique gives our technicians more control when shaping the cuticle, lateral folds, and nail plate—all without the use of water, resulting in a cleaner, longer-lasting finish.

Will there be an extra charge for a Russian manicure or pedicure?

All our nail services include a Russian manicure or pedicure, with no additional charges for this precision service.

What is a dry pedicure, and how is it different from a traditional pedicure?

Using an electronic file, a dry pedicure gently smooths calluses and tends to cuticles, providing lasting results—ideal for sensitive or diabetic clients. It’s also a gentle experience with minimal to no tickling, making it perfect for those who prefer a more flawless and comfortable pedicure.
