I'm a nail tech and doing this is a game changer. I looked our country's regulations, and we're allowed to perform this. Since you're never too old, I've just signed up for a Manicure course. Like hair dressing, new techniques and products come up every few years.
Don’t do the cutting of the live skin, the reason its known as a Russian technique is because Russia doesn’t have any boards that are designed for regulating health and safety for the public. Removing the eponychium is a big no no, it’s live skin that gets confused for the cuticle ( the cuticle is the sticky stuff on the nail plate, it’s dead and CAN be removed) removing the eponychium ( the LIVE skin above the nail) heightens the risk for infection because that is the sole purpose of the eponychium, to protect the matrix and nails , and it grows back thicker because it needs to be there so the more these uneducated people remove it, the more the body creates a thicker skin barrier.
Oh yeah let me mention I got my license btw but from experience schools don’t really teach you what your gonna need to know in the field they just want your money
I redid half my hand with the Russian manicure technique. It’s so obvious which nails I did over. This technique fits my skill set far better. Time to finish fixing me nails using this technique.. !
Very pretty! I love watching you do cuticle work not only because it's relaxing but it also helps me to keep improving while learning different ways to do it as well! Thank you for sharing!
@@SinfulKitty you can still have small hands with long fingers and larger nail beds, they look elegant and refined, meanwhile small nail beds look childish and bitten
Anastasia - what do you feel about cuticle remover liquid? In many salons in the USA this product is used to soften the cuticles. Have you used this? Is it a good option to move faster?
The cuticle band is there to correct the root from infection. Is so important to do theory as it's very important to know about what's going on with the nails. Good luck and good video.
Very Happy someone is bringing back natural- looking nails. When the lunula is showing the nails are healthy. I use a cuticle pusher and cuticle nippers, But scissors look safer. Natural and French nails in my opinion look cleaner, lady like, and professional. And using nail forms again in my opinion is better than tips. ❤ Thanks for the video.
I didn't know that once a brush is used with polygel it shouldn't be used to apply "normal" gel. Perfect timing as I'm going to be using polygel for the first time this afternoon!! Why do the two products need to have separate brushes?
Anastasia , what you are cutting is not the cuticle . It is the Eponynichium . The cuticle is the dry flaking substance we see when we push back the eponynichium . The dry flaky cuticle is what we remove . Here in the USA , in I believe all states , it’s illegal for licensed nail techs to cut the eponynichium ( skin ) off .
horsika97 I’m not here to argue with you .... but unfortunately the terminology she used is incorrect . You can look on a diagram . You’re excuse is not valid . Even non pros need correct terminology .
if cutting them is bad, what am i supposed to do with them? if i don't cut them (at least a bit) they tend to lift, tear, get dry and stiff... to me they just grow too much! maybe it's just my particular case? or should i suck it up? (i've already tried moisturizing regularly and it still doesn't work, it still grows too long, lifts and might get teared up)
I love this. May you share a link for a nail drill you recommend for a beginner DIY. I don’t plan on doing much, I’m only interested in applying short tips. Searching for a drill is super overwhelming.
how did you take off the sticky layer ? what products you used? How to you clean the brushes? What direction of rotation you use for left & right side of nail?
Anastasia. I like to use NSI Balance Hard Gel for Sculpting. I've never been brave enough to try poly gel as the base but always wanted to. A lot of Polygels are soft Gels so it's okay to use these Soft Gels under a Hard Gel??? Thank you darling.
How long does it usually take you for a manicure without gel/acrylic on top? I'm technically a beginner and myboss has quite high expectations about perfect results and for me to do it in a certain amount of time, so I'm asking for speed/perfection advise
Hi Anastasia, once you finish buffing the cuticle and the sides. How do you clean the nails to perfection for the frame shot. I don't know what is the correct technique. I ask my clients to clean the hands just with water , but I feel that defeats the purpose of the dry manicure.
M.house wife from Pakistan I love ur videos .....I never want to this bcoz I clipp my nail just after 2 weeks ...but I like ur creating skill n I relly enjoy it
Bahahahah!!! My son overheard the song and said, "Mom! Why are you listening to songs about cocaine?!?” 😂😂😂 I told him the song is in Russian, they aren't singing about cocaine... Did I lie to him??? 🤣😂😂😂
Anastasia, I loved the music in this video! Actually, I like all the music you use! Would you please list the music in the description box? Can you tell me who's in this one? Thanks.
Beautiful nail shape in the end as always sweetie! And 😊yes I also think that the design look like you have shorten the nails after a long extended nailbed😊 I must admit that I still dredd the scissors🙈 I like using my drill bits for that part😉 So I guess I need to practice on my own nails first so I can get more confident using them😉 Tfs xoxo 💕
I absolutely love the look of Russian manicure 🤩 but my skin is to soft and thin and haven't that much cuticle. Some nail stylist's try to cut my cuticles, mostly they cut in my skin 😔 so I'm a little scared for it😬
The russian manicure is so perfect because here in Russia women pay a lot of money and they need to have beautiful and perfect mani. Also patriarchate requires women to be good-looking, and unfortunately, Russian women have to make a mani. Not all women, but most of them. Also they don't do only a mani. It's also makeup, hair, wearing good outfits, etc. You also might be curious why all Russian masters cut cuticula off without medicine diploma. They just need to be careful. That's it
I recently had something weird happen with my application can you help? I prepped a client normally.. used dehydrater, then primer (2 different brands) then I used monomer in the same dappen dish as where I place my brush cleaner... i cleaned it before adding monomer but not rinsed or anything.. when I used my powder, it became chalky and remained rubberly. it never dried completely. it was a disaster. what happened?
When I do this at home the gel is too thick and it cures just fine but it keeps peeling off- is there any way to stop it from peeling off and being overly thick?

I really dig the Russian techniques. Another challenge for my self-taught journey
Makes sure you study theory. It's very necessary to damage the root from infection. It just the dead cuticle is removed. Good video.

Please go to school. Self taught is good but the law is the least if you plan on practicing on real clients that are paying.
Same here girl your not alone

She has such pretty shaped fingers - my whole life I've wished my fingers looked like that.
I know right?
Same
i never understood that, i always thought it was ugly. i prefer my shorter cuticle beds and small hands.
@@SinfulKitty you can still have small hands with long fingers and larger nail beds, they look elegant and refined, meanwhile small nail beds look childish and bitten
@@HoneyPatchworks my nail beds do not look bitten lmao
I almost choked on my tea when I saw the sausage pic lol
Haha :)
Me Too !!!!!! 🙄
Is the eponychium removed from the fingers in this video? 🤔
🤣🤣🤣 I was caught off guard definitely
Ya what was that about?😂

I loooove this design. It gives a nice almond look on short nails. I will definitely give this one a try!
I wanna try too
I just found you and I love your tutorials. Former nail tech getting back into the business.
I love a good Russian manicure 💓 thank you for this video!
I'm glad you like it
I have suuuch a hard time cutting cuticles. It takes me like 20 minutes. I’m so scared of cutting someone! Love the way this looks!
I love e-file and sphere bead buffing!
In the Netherlands we learn never to cut the cuticle. But I think it looks so much better.
May i know why?
@@kindlejoy cutting them causes them to grow back even worse, rougher, more jagged edges, and can cause cuts that allow for infection
@@Kai-rc8cj if done correctly nothing bad will happen. If you don't keep doing it they will just go back to normal
The cuticle band is there to correct the root from infection.
Is so important to do theory as it's very important to know about what's going on with the nails. Good luck and good video.
Hearing our French artist Camelia Jordana made me smile, love your work 🥰✨
Omg what is the song it’s so beautiful!!

Yes! Exactly what I needed! I just got a job in a salon and wanted to improve cuticle work ❤️
Go to a nursing home and practice on those ladies
You're a godsend, it would be a dream to have nails done by you!
Anastasia , what you are cutting is not the cuticle . It is the Eponynichium . The cuticle is the dry flaking substance we see when we push back the eponynichium . The dry flaky cuticle is what we remove . Here in the USA , in I believe all states , it’s illegal for licensed nail techs to cut the eponynichium ( skin ) off .
I'm pretty sure she is familiar with the terminology, she says cuticle to be more understandable for non-pros.
horsika97 I’m not here to argue with you .... but unfortunately the terminology she used is incorrect . You can look on a diagram . You’re excuse is not valid . Even non pros need correct terminology .
Aaahhhh, it hurts just to see it done. 😲
You are right! Do not ever cut eponychium, it protects the nail matrix.

Thank you. Exactly 😂💕👌 The Look remember me too on it. Top Idea... I will defenetly use it the next days in ma Salon!!!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! 😘

Very pretty in a unique way to do short nails and still make them look attractive
Thanks!
I always love your tutorials Anastasia, especially all the technical components to them - thank you for sharing with us :) - Tina, from Australia
Thank you so much!
how did you take off the sticky layer ? what products you used?
How to you clean the brushes?

Love everything even the hand poses at the end oh and the music. Thank you for the video 💐
Oh that's very different from the normal design Anastasia I really like it...love your channel thankyou for sharing and stay safe xo 💜💅💜
Great job👌
How much time it takes to make nails like that from start to end , including old gel removing?
This was so helpful in every step! Thank you!
Beautiful work 🎉 thank you for sharing your tips 👏👏💕
You are so welcome!
First try with the help of your video and my nails look amazing. Thanks for the video
what is the back sound song? Loving it!
Can you do a russian manicure just using regular nail polish...I have strong natural nails and don't use gel products/polishes. Thanks
Please leave a link as to where we can buy the same cuticle scissors you used. Thanks
Hey, Anastasia, I have a question. Many times when I cut cuticles, it results in hangnails several days later. How can this be avoided in the future?
Maybe try and cut the cuticle in one long piece
Anastasia. I like to use NSI Balance Hard Gel for Sculpting. I've never been brave enough to try poly gel as the base but always wanted to. A lot of Polygels are soft Gels so it's okay to use these Soft Gels under a Hard Gel??? Thank you darling.
I love the look of a Russian manual, but we were taught not to cut live skin? How can I get the same look without nipping the eponychium?
Love watching your videos tyfs 💗💙

Thanks, Nicole!
Is the gel base coat that you are using before gel application the same one as the one we use before putting gel color?
Wow beautiful. Wonder if I can get this done on my toe nails since there so ugly due to fungus nails 😭
Beautiful and very detailed
Absolutely love your videos, they have been so very helpful.
Anybody else catch the song mentioning cocaine around 03:45

Is that the title of the song too?

You have such a beautiful NAME love your voice. Cheers Nancy from Canada
I think this set is cute. Thank you for sharing this.
Not sure if it’s a regional thing, but the proximal nail fold is not the cuticle, the skin underneath is
How long do you take doing your clients nails?
Would love to see you review navy pro tools. They are amazing!
Beautiful work

It's so beautiful ❤️, I've been following you on Instagram for some years now. just subscribed.
Perfection! The sausages cracked me up!!!!😂😂😂
Can you link me to any video that you have with nail shaping
Does anyone know the reason to use separate brushes for gel and polygel??
Where do you purchase your scissors? Thank you so much

What is the style or name of the cuticle pusher?
Beautiful 💖
In this video why do you have to apply clear basecoat and then nude pink Rubberbase again? Can’t you apply Rubberbase directly? ☺️
Those are beautiful.
Nailcou, what nail drill do you have?
About how long do you take for cuticle and nail prep?
Keep going :)
