Russian Manicures Gain Popularity: A Detailed Look at the Technique and its Benefits
Russian manicures are gaining popularity in the US, offering a longer-lasting and more polished look compared to traditional manicures. The key difference lies in the meticulous cuticle care. One woman, Gabby Huffman (@_gabbyhuffman on TikTok), shared her experience in a recent video, which has garnered over 4 million views. "The difference in a Russian manicure versus regular manicures is just cuticle care and honestly how long they last," she explains in the video. The video shows the process, highlighting the detailed cuticle work performed by her nail technician, Aiko (@aiko_nails). Many commenters expressed surprise that this level of cuticle care isn't standard in all US manicures, sparking a conversation about the differences in services and pricing. Gabby's video provides a clear visual explanation of the technique and its benefits, contributing to the growing interest in Russian manicures.
