[@unezsimpkins9107]

Pretty ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@xinkujiao]

your big nail beds are super pretty as someone w nail beds that are small 😭😭

[@emilybennett7864]

Ugh right, my hands are tiny and my nail beds are tiny, but my mom and my boss who both have small hands like me have normal nail beds :'(

[@xinkujiao]

@@emilybennett7864 literally why not even in the “hehe im so cute tiny🥺” way like its embarrassing how disproportionate they are to my fingers ??

[@amailyy]

@@xinkujiaosame, like I just wish my hands looked more feminine and elegant at my 28 years of life, instead they look like a middleschool boy’s hands which is 100% not cute

[@victoriairias7703]

Yeah!!! I taught the same

[@ShaktiFlowww]

I feel this. Mine are not only very short nail beds but they are also wide. So they are wider than the length like sideways rectangles and it’s not cute ☹️☹️

[@BleedingxRainbow]

I agree it’s criminal lots of these salons don’t do anything with the cuticle before an acrylic set. And when I go WTF they’re like “that’s a MANICURE” which is an extra $30. Uh no it’s standard nail prep for all nail extensions. It should be included in the price of the set

[@rosegocheva3309]

They look gorgeous ❤ congratulations for her efforts

[@KimEbrahimi]

Thank you so much!

[@alisassmannshausen6808]

That shape is seriously perfect

[@sadist8902]

See it as a positive, you have more room for nail art! You’re also making me check my nailbeds because I never realized whether I have big, average or small ones 🤣

[@peestalikix291]

Nail tech here ! We technically aren’t allowed to do Russian manicures because they cut off all of the areas of the skin that protects your nails from infection the closing around the nails prevents bacteria even to what we think the “cuticle” Is. The cuticle is the dead skin on the nail not around it we are supposed to push back what we think the “cuticle” is to reveal what we call in the industry the “true cuticle “ as I said before the true cuticle is on the nail plate they be cutting the eponychium!

[@Antibeautyguru]

I’ve literally been cutting my cuticles or had my cuticles cut at a salon for over 10 years and I’ve never gotten an infection. That’s just a thing people in the U.S. say in my opinion because in Brazil it’s common practice to cut cuticles and women don’t ever have infections. And I was a landscaper when I would cut my cuticles and I would shove my hands on dirt for hours and never got an infection even after freshly cutting my cuticles and not getting all the dirt out of my nails for days.

[@peestalikix291]

@@Antibeautyguru that’s nice but the cuticles u can cut like I said before they can cut live skin and cause an infection just like if u get a cut it can doesn’t mean it always will but u can get an infection she asked why a lot of people don’t do Russian manicures which includes the proximal folds and I gave an answer.

[@lindsaypaige4628]

@@Antibeautyguruhad a new girl start working and her client came back with a horrible infection. Just because you have gotten lucky doesn’t mean everyone is lucky all the time

[@user-tx3sw7do7o]

hi i’m russian nail tech and everything i can say is that cutting of cuticle is absolutely safe. the infection can be caused only by wrong sterilization of instruments we never use disposable things twice (like files, masks, napkins) and always disinfect scissors, cutters and stuff so if you disinfect your tools right your client will never get any infections 🥰

[@lindsaypaige4628]

@@user-tx3sw7do7o as a Russian nail tech can you explain to me why I’ve never once seen a Russian nail “master” ever use proper terminology. Cuticle is the dead sticky tissue that grows ON the nail plate, while the proximal nail fold is the living skin and Russian nail techs call that cuticle.

[@user-ix2to5eh5f]

Looks good, but Russian manicure is more precise. The cuticle is not done till the end and a bit torn

I've been going to a home nail tech for the past 4 years (I do overlay on my nail nail as they are naturally long). Same with my hair as I go to a home hair stylist for the past 4 years too. ✌️

[@soulfulfilled4382]

Exactly they cater to you way better than the salons and don’t treat you like a number..salons will have to get it together 😊

[@annapetrov6681]

This is not a Russian manicure girls😂 it’s done by gel, and not plastic tips and acrylics

[@lolareish]

girl 😂😂😂 The Russian manicure technique removes as much skin as possible from the nail area, which leaves more room for polish etc. It doesnt mean u HAVE to get tips and acrylics.

[@user-gv2lr4ub2t]

​@@lolareish The commentator is saying that gel should be used for a true Russian manicure. Not tips like it's shown in the video

[@gia6721]

@@lolareishit’s not cleaning the skin to get “as much space for polish” as possible, it’s cleaning the skin so the product can adhere to the nail bed as well as possible, without lifting, and being able to make the nail look as clean and as natural as possible. Gel is used by 99.9% of people who do the Russian technique, so yes, a true Russian manicure is usually done with gel.

[@mimipicard9879]

​@@gia6721 but never with tip like that , they extend with chablon , certainly not plastic tip , who s known as " american laying "here in europe.

[@Sad.pookie]

It’s 2024 not 1950. Dip powder, gel, acrylics, everything requires tips if you wants longer nails with a low chance of breaking. My nails grow long but I always cut them down so I can get tips because the natural nail will break easily compared to hardened plastic

[@peestalikix291]

Very beautiful work tho! ❤

Хмммм очень странная техника маникюра, русские мастера так не делают, вас либо обманули, либо мастер очень отстал в трендах техники выполнения маникюра. Я бы посоветовала вам больше не ходить к этому мастеру, вдруг она не дезинфецирует инструменты 😊

[@tashas5074]

They don’t do the cuticle prep etc before doing the acrylic/gel nails?! That’s standard practice where I live and it doesn’t cost extra. Here a full set long acrylic/gel nails with color and decoration cost between 40-70 dollars. I pay about 50. And there’s no such thing as tipping here except for servers in restaurants.

[@SmokinSesh]

When I went to school for this, many yrs ago, you were not allowed to cut cuticles

[@xxviciousbeautyxx]

Cuticles can be cut as they are dead skin. It's the proximal nail fold that people confuse with cuticles that are live skin and can't be cut

[@SmokinSesh]

@@xxviciousbeautyxx there’s 4 states that don’t allow u to cut them. NY, Arizona, Idaho & Miss.

The problem is that people don't wanna pay extra for me to spend the time doing their cuticles before they get their set..... I promise I wanna cut them cuticles, girl you gotta wanna pay for it though...

[@Delflorpadem]

In my state of FL it is illegal to cut live skin which is what a Russian manicure does….and if your tech is cutting live skin, reusing tools/files/utensils ect and overall just having a dirty space- I would be cautious. That’s asking for an infection. Because I am trained, licensed, and a private home tech I have infection control procedures in my home salon, and I know my girls are safe. But I would be cautious of those offering this still…

[@Sofi-dior]

[@ola6195]

i just read what russian manicure is and i'm shocked that it actually isn't a thing for you guys.. like gaining popularity right now? i had done russian manicure without even knowing and i don't even live in russia 😂

[@xxviciousbeautyxx]

The part where they typically cut the proximal nail fold (not the same as cuticle) is not legal in many states as it is live skin

[@nikusita]

I hate Russian manicures. The damage my nails and always make the skin good sensitive. But yes, agreed that nail technician is better then nail salons

[@Bluecouch7181]

I think it’s because it’s harmful to continuously cut your cuticles

[@wellenjeje]

I don't understand why the extensions come that long. It's such a waste cutting it off. Why wouldn't the companies come up with different lengths to choose from??

[@Aurumfae]

They make it one overall length so that it can be cut. To make a dozen different lengths uses more materials and creates more trash…

[@wellenjeje]

@@Aurumfae but I don't understand wouldn't shorter extensions require lesser material as opposed to longer ones and having them cut off and trashing them ?? If it came in different lengths the machine has to simply produce it as per the requirements as it's already doing with the longer length and the user can choose without having to cut off the excess.

[@Becausethe90s]

What’s Russian about it?

Shit... in Europe we do it much better

Um...so if licensed nail techs are not allowed to do cuticles becuz of, um, safety and health reasons, by law...idk. these days, everyone is a nail tech. But no one is no longer licensed.
