The Russian Manicure Difference

| Comparison Criteria | Plus One Russian Manicure | Traditional Manicure |
|---|---|---|
| Cuticle Technique | 100% Dry e-file hardware technique. No water soaking, avoiding micro-tears or skin splitting. | Water soaking followed by cutting/clipping. Increases risk of hanging nails and skin irritation. |
| Longevity & Wear | Flawless durability up to 4 weeks. No lifting, peeling, or chipping. | Typically lasts 1 to 2 weeks before lifting at the edges or chipping. |
| Polish Precision | Master Technicians apply polish precisely underneath the cuticle fold. Grows out naturally with no visible gap for days. | Applied on top of the cuticle fold. A gap becomes visible within 2–3 days of natural growth. |
| Sterilization Standards | Hospital-grade dry-heat sterilization for all metal instruments + single-use disposables. | Standard chemical spray/barbicide wipe-downs. Often reuse non-sterilized buffers or files. |
| Nail Bed Health | Strengthens natural nails over time by utilizing premium non-toxic base gels. No harsh scraping. Our technicians are highly trained in e-file techniques to minimize nail and skin exposure to acetone as much as possible. | Acetone soaking and aggressive scraping that thins and weakens the natural nail plate over time. |
