About me

Hi, I’m Daria

I’m a licensed nail technician specializing in the Russian dry manicure. For more than three years I’ve been doing what I love most: clean cuticles, perfect shape and gel that lasts. Every client gets my full attention, one appointment at a time, so you leave with nails you’re proud to show.

The method

What is a Russian manicure

More careful and precise than a typical salon visit. Every appointment gets the time it takes to do it perfectly.

Dry e-file manicure

No soaking. Cuticles are gently refined with fine e-file bits, so the skin around your nails stays smooth for weeks.

Color at the cuticle

Gel is applied as close to the cuticle as possible, so regrowth is barely visible.

III

Structure and shape

A thin, even gel layer strengthens your natural nail and keeps a balanced shape: square, almond or short and natural.

Questions

Good to know before you visit

Is a Russian manicure safe?

It comes down to how it’s done. Every tool goes through two-step sterilization: a Barbicide soak plus ultrasonic cleaning, then an autoclave. Only dead skin is removed, with precise, gentle work.

How long does a visit take?

A manicure takes 1.5 hours at most, even with French.

How long does it last?

Usually 3–4 weeks. Book your next visit in 3–4 weeks to keep nails strong and neat.
