Your exquisite light touch is a definite key to this type of manicure. Some people are a bit heavy handed. Your process is very very well practiced and the kind of professionalism I would love to see in mail shops. It’s an art, and so many many techs don’t seem to really put their heart into their work. I’m still looking for a nail artist that absolutely loves to produce masterpieces. Thank you for your lovely video!!!❤❤❤

[@abetweene]

thank u so much! thats very kind

[@debraduperroir7513]

When you pay for a manicure, which I don't do very often and will never do again, they aren't this precise. I've never had anyone use those tools to clean cuticles like that. I really enjoy your videos. Now I'm off to do what I just watched. Thank you!!

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Because most American nail techs only push back the cuticles. You will have to ask for this specifically. Be careful though, most American techs are not trained to do this. This is how it's done in Russia.

[@zahre_mar]

Go on Instagram and look for hashtags that have nails and the name of your hometown in it. If you want, I can write it in Russian for you, so you for sure can find someone who does this at home. My girl charges 30 like any Vietnamese salon would but I pay her 50 because my nails last an entire month. Cuticle doesn't grow back and gel polish never lifts or cracks.

[@kathykov1]

One must be trained in the style of manicuring. Like she said, a lot of people are against this technique.

[@CHARMAYNE76]

Zahre Mar I’ve done that but I’ve had no luck finding anyone who does Russian manicures and pedicures in Augusta, Ga. I really wish I could find someone here who can because I really love how clean the cuticle area is.

[@cassieeee20]

Because this practice is illegal in many areas because it can cause infection as the skin is being cut

Впервые слышу, что есть какой-то русский маникюр

[@frompyatero4kawithlove323]

у vogue russia даже была статья на эту тему) он не появился впервые у нас - у нас он стал очень популярен, ведь в России патриархальное общество: женщины - украшение, мужчины - добытчики, поэтому и маникюр должен быть максимально аккуратным (ну сомнительная аккуратность, ведь и с ухоженной кутикулой и без птеригия руки выглядят очень здОрово и здорОво)

[@Ana-uv3xt]

В Америке просто не убирают кутикулу. Вот такой маникюр. Можете просто посмотреть фото американского маникюра в инсте по хештегам разным и вы будете в удивлении. У них не делают маникюр аппаратом тк они запрещены, чтобы не поранить клиенток. А образной не помню точно почему, но тоже его вроде не делают. Поэтому у всех необработанная кутикула. И поэтому наши русские девушки часто в Америке и Канаде ищут именно русских девушек мастеров, тк местные не убирают кутикулу. Поэтому маникюр, в котором убирают кутикулу, обрезанием и особенно аппаратом прозвали русским

[@ElectroMussic]

Наверное просто потому, что русские мастера негласно считаются лучшими.

[@dstfrs5831]

[@АннаСеменова-в4ш]

Never knew it's called Russian.😂 We call it "non cut manicure" (необрезной маникюр).

[@ruslanajosan2634]

Это в России он необрезной, а здесь в США его называют русский. Потому что в основном русскоговорящие мастера его продвигают и делают в салонах. Здесь индустрия занята в большей степени азиатами, которые не умеют да и не делают этого. Они оказывают, как правило, сервис низкого качества, который не предполагает проработки всех деталей. Но их сервис сравнительно недорогой и быстрый. Вот народ к ним и ходит.

Why it calls “Russian”? In Russia it calls “apparat manicure”.

it's like a reference from where it comes from... for example, chinese food is not called chinese food in China, it's just food.

[@FatalFramer13]

comradeMightess Its probably not invented in russia, just called russian manicure. French fries are called french but made in belgium.

How do you keep the proximal nail fold from creeping up to shorten your nails without cutting them back like they say not to everywhere I look? I feel like my nails keep getting shorter and shorter with time because that fold of skin pushes forward.

Hey abetweene. You once made a video using bits from Nailmot which was the diamond and the guide bit and a third one. However I think you have since deleted the video since I cannot find it anymore. Would you recommend those bits? I'm unsure since the shipping costs as much as the bits. So I would pay about 70 dollars while the bits are only worth about 30. What do you think? Hope for an answer.

[@abetweene]

if you’re just purchasing the guide bit, and diamond bits i would hold off. There are plenty of bits available online and within the states that can be used that ate similar or do the same job. you might as well make it worth your wild and get a few types that are unique and i have another bit id like to talk about thats unlike anything else! have u used cuticle bits before and just looking to add to your collection?

@@abetweene thanks for your response. I don't have any of those bits yet. The ones I have are only for acrylic nails not for cuticle or nail care. Do you have any suggestions for affordable cuticle bits as the ones mentioned?
