A dry manicure, also known as a Russian manicure, is a technique that involves detailed and precise nail care without soaking the nails in water. This method focuses on using specialized nail bits to clean and shape the nail plate and cuticles.
Key features:
- No Soaking: The nails and cuticles are treated without soaking in water, maintaining the natural oils of the nails and preventing them from becoming too soft or fragile.
- Electric Nail Drill Bits: The key tools need for a dry manicure is the specialized bits designed for specific tasks, such as cleaning the cuticle area, shaping the nails, and smoothing the nail plate.
- Longer-Lasting Results: Because the nails are not soaked, nail polish and other nail enhancements tend to adhere better and last longer.
- Healthier Nails: By avoiding soaking, the nails retain their natural moisture, leading to stronger and healthier nails over time.
The dry manicure features the following bits:
- Pointed Flame, 1.6mm, Red Fine Grit
The pointed flame bit is ideal for meticulously cleaning deep within the cuticle area, lifting and removing dead skin with high precision. Its pointed, flame-like shape allows it to reach narrow and tight spaces around the nail folds and lateral walls, ensuring thorough cleaning and preparation of the nail plate.
- Needle, 1mm, Blue Medium Grit
The needle bit is perfect for extremely precise work around the cuticle, particularly for lifting and cleaning the eponychium (the living skin at the base of the nail). Its slender, pointed shape allows it to reach deep into the nail folds and sidewalls, ensuring thorough cleaning and removal of any dead skin or debris.
- Frustum, 1.6mm, Red Fine Grit
The frustum bit is designed to lift dry tissue in the cuticle area, effectively reaching smaller, hard-to-access spots. It's also perfect for refining the sidewalls, ensuring a smooth finish with no rough edges or remnants of skin left behind.
-
Rounded Cylinder, 2.3mm, Blue Medium Grit
The rounded cylinder bit is highly effective for cuticle removal, lifting sidewalls, and eliminating tough skin on the nail plate. It's also ideal for polishing calluses and treating hyperkeratosis, ensuring a smooth and refined finish.
- Drop, 1.6mm, Red Fine Grit
The drop bit is used to gently lift and remove the cuticle from the nail plate, allowing for a clean and polished appearance. Its shape is ideal for accessing tight areas around the nail folds and working with delicate skin without causing damage.
