If you have been scrolling through Instagram or TikTok lately, you have probably seen the term “Russian Manicure” everywhere. It is the secret behind those flawless, photoshop-perfect nails that seem to last forever.
But what exactly is it, and where can you get a safe, professional Russian Manicure in Bali?
At Korra Spa (located in both Berawa-Canggu and Batu Belig-Seminyak), our certified therapists specialize in this advanced technique. Here is everything you need to know before you book.
What is a Russian Manicure?
Unlike a traditional manicure that involves soaking your hands in water, a Russian Manicure is a dry process. It uses an electronic file (e-file) to gently and precisely remove excess cuticle and dead skin around the nail bed.
Because the cuticle is cleaned so perfectly, the gel polish can be applied deeper, essentially “under” the cuticle line.
Why is it better than a regular manicure?
- Longevity: Because the polish is applied closer to the root, your manicure looks fresh for 3-4 weeks (no visible regrowth gap after just one week!).
- Healthier Nails: It avoids water, which can expand the nail plate and cause gel to lift or chip prematurely.
- Flawless Finish: The result is a super clean, high-gloss look that traditional tools simply cannot achieve.
Pair it with BIAB (Builder In A Bottle)
For the ultimate nail transformation, we recommend pairing your Russian Manicure with BIAB.
BIAB is a strengthening gel overlay applied to your natural nails. It acts like armor, allowing your natural nails to grow long and strong without snapping. It is perfect if you want the look of acrylics but without the damage.
