Russian manicure with a nude gel finish: what to expect
This Russian manicure at Ruta Beauty in Manhattan combines waterless cuticle care and nail shaping with a natural nude gel base. It is a gel service for guests who prefer a subtle nude finish instead of a separate gel polish color.
A nude base is the finished look
The nude gel base provides the visible finish after detailed dry preparation. Cuticle oil completes the appointment. A hard gel or builder gel overlay can be selected as an extra when more structure is wanted.
Does nude mean no product?
No. This service includes a nude gel base, so the natural-looking finish still has gel on the nails. For bare nails or clear polish, choose Regular Manicure. For a separate gel polish color, choose Russian Gel Manicure.
