• Manicure 2021: 4 nails that will be a trend in autumn, from the French color to the tones of nature

Russian manicures

populate Instagram, but their rise isn't just limited to virtual worlds.

In Spain it has been opening little by little and has established itself with force: more and more centers are pointing to the technique in question because of how

'clean' the nail leaves

and because of

its long duration.

The 'waterless' alternative to the Russian one, for those who are not very fond of the removal of the cuticles - now we will delve into both procedures - is

the dry manicure.

These two techniques are undoubtedly the queens of nail centers and both have one great advantage: they support any type

of topical

nail

polish,

from French manicures with a different twist to autumn colors, with brown at the forefront, that promise. be the tones of the season.

The Russian manicure: for 'longer' and more stylized hands

The success of the Russian manicure in Spain is unstoppable.

In Madrid, specifically, it began to

carve

a niche back in 2015, when

Sofya Khasanova and Julia Philippova

arrived in Spain from Novosibirsk (the largest administrative center in the Siberian region) to open a

Salon

in the capital,

Siberia,

which today has two centers. -.

What began as a meeting point for the Russian community in the capital quickly conquered the women of Madrid: just two years later

70% of the clientele was already indigenous.

Not that the Russian manicure has

anything 'Russian' in particular.

In fact, it is often thought that it is synonymous with nail art, or

exaggerated and highly decorated nails,

but the name refers to the technique, not the chosen

nail

polish

.

It is so called because it is where it broke through before, and because according to Khasanova, "Russian women have a

fixation for nail care: they

are demanding, sophisticated and take great care of themselves."

The key to the success of the Russian manicure is in its

meticulous technique

-and long, it takes about

an hour and a half-,

which leaves the enamel

very close to the cuticle

and is therefore perfect for those who 'lengthen' and stylize their hands optically, in addition to leaving hands very clean and well cared for.

What is the Russian manicure

The secret of the Russian manicure

is

that it

is done dry, without water,

which ensures that the later polish

adheres better

and for longer.

And that he uses tools

worthy of a dentist.

Yes, from a dentist, no more, no less.

Because the Russian technique uses

very precise and small lathes

that until the middle of the last century were exclusively for medical use, mainly the weapons of dentists.

Curious is that it was not even the Russians who began to use these tools for aesthetic purposes,

but the Germans.

In 1968 it was the son of the owner of the

Gehwol

lathes

brand

who 'dared' to create one for pedicures.

Dry manicures allow the polish to adhere better to the nail and last longer.

Well, in these lathes lies the secret of the success of the Russian manicure.

With them, and

their different burs and bits,

the surface of the nail is polished and

the cuticle is gently

and hygienically

removed, no tearing,

something that is totally discouraged.

Polishing the cuticle to the maximum until it disappears allows

the enamel

to be

applied on the entire surface of the nail,

well glued to the finger.

The technique is very precise and safe if it is performed by good professionals who are experts in the handling of lathes, which is why it is necessary to make sure to go to a center

where they have the necessary expertise.

If done by the right professionals, the Russian manicure not only does not damage the nail and the cuticle,

but it can strengthen it,

because when it lasts up to three weeks, instead of the 10 days of a traditional one, the enamels that can spoil them are spaced.

It can cause problems when they are painted afterwards with

a permanent nail polish

and you don't go to the salon

to remove it properly:

that does damage the nail, as Sofya Khasanova warns.

The service at the Siberia Salon costs from

25 euros for a

basic

Russian manicure

to 55 euros

for permanent enamelling

(28 euros

for traditional enameling).

A great counter to the Russian manicure arises in those who are not convinced to remove the cuticle.

But for them there is an alternative ...

Dry manicure: effective and clean, without removal of cuticles

They tell from Vanitas Espai in Barcelona (where they also perform the Russian technique), that dry manicure

is done without water

(as the name suggests) and without cutting the cuticle.

It is very popular, according to experts at the center,

in the United States.

It is a very hygienic procedure that leaves nails very polished too, like its 'Russian sister', but

the cuticle is neither removed

with lathes nor cut with pliers.

What is done is to clean it and polish the entire edge of the nail

with disposable files

, which guarantees a

nail polish

with

a perfect and precise finish.

The process lasts one hour and costs approximately

28 euros

with Vinylux enamel, quick drying and without artificial light, and lasts from 7 to 10 days.

With French enameling it has a supplement in Vanitas Espai of 5 euros.
