Russian manicures in NYC have found their home at Pink of Manhattan, a studio where every cuticle is cleaned with care, and each nail becomes a sleek, glossy canvas.
Our salon at 49 W 38th St in New York is a clean, bright space designed for detailed nail services. The studio is equipped with professional lighting and organized workstations to support precise, efficient manicure treatments.
Russian manicures focus on more than just polish; they prioritize the skin, cuticle, and natural beauty. Using a fine electric file, our artists gently remove dead skin and smooth the nail’s edges so the polish sits perfectly close without lifting or flooding.
At Pink of Manhattan, we often pair a russian manicure with a strong gel manicure. Together, they create perfect nail architecture that’s lightweight yet resilient, ready to handle everything.
This method is the top priority for anyone who wants their natural nails to look flawless and stay that way for weeks. It’s great for short nails that chip, medium nails that bend, or anyone who prefers elegance without bulky extensions.
Our nail artists take their time with each step, so you always know what’s happening and never feel like you’re being rushed.
STEP 1
Clean Prep & Gentle Gel Removal
We begin with freshly washed hands. Using an e-file, the old gel is gently thinned and removed, along with any calluses that have never been peeled off, to keep the nail plate smooth, strong, and healthy.
STEP 2
Precision Work Around the Cuticle
Next comes detailed cuticle care. With a steady hand and a fine electric file, your technician carefully removes any dead skin around the cuticle and nail walls. Every movement is slow and controlled to ensure a flawless, safe result.
STEP 3
Nail Architecture with Russian Gel
Once the nails are prepped, we move on to building the structure. Russian gel is applied in a sculpted, customized layer, adjusting the apex and shape to suit your hands, your preferred nail length, and your daily routine.
STEP 4
Color & Finishing Touches
To wrap things up, we apply thin layers of gel polish, curing each one for a sleek, long-lasting finish. You can choose from elegant nudes, bold solids, classic French tips, or simple minimalist designs, whatever fits your style best.
At Pink of Manhattan, cleanliness isn’t just a promise, it’s our standard. Every e-file bit is thoroughly disinfected, and all single-use files are disposed of after each client. We use only premium materials designed to protect and strengthen your natural nails for a quality that enhances your life , ensuring a flawless finish that lasts long after your appointment.
Regular gel manicures add color and stop there. Russian gel manicures go deeper, refining the cuticle, building a structural base, and finishing with polish. It takes more time but delivers a cleaner, longer-lasting result, usually for 2 to 4 weeks of perfect wear.
Many NYC clients who switch to Russian gel never go back to regular gel. Their nails keep their amazing shape, feel stronger, and stay at a length that doesn’t constantly crack or chip.
Pink of Manhattan is conveniently close to offices, trains, and coffee spots, making it easy to stop by before work, on a lunch break, or after your day ends.
Even when busy, the studio feels calm and welcoming. Clean stations, soft music, and a team that makes your appointment feel like a true break from the city buzz.
