The Art of Hand and Nail Care: How KiraKira Nails Goes Beyond Traditional Manicures

At KiraKira Nails, we specialize in both Japanese and Russian-style nail care, providing an exceptional level of detail that goes beyond standard manicures. Our approach ensures not only beautiful nails but also nourished, healthy fingers and hands, setting us apart from traditional salons.

Step-by-Step Japanese & Russian Nail Care Routine

Our process starts with carefully removing any old gel polish using a precise electric nail file. Afterward, our nail expert shapes each nail, gently buffs the nail beds, and meticulously removes dead skin around the edges using scissors or a fine electric drill, depending on the technician’s expertise.

This method of care is more intricate and time-intensive than typical gel applications, often requiring up to two hours to complete. Once the cuticles are smooth and the nail edges clean, we apply a specialized base coat designed for Russian-style manicures, followed by gel polish and a protective topcoat to lock in color and shine.

Our Distinctive Care Ritual

Here’s what to expect from our unique approach:

  1. Sanitization & Clean Removal - We prioritize hygiene by carefully removing previous gel without damaging the nail.

  2. Shaping & Cuticle Attention - Each nail is expertly shaped, with an emphasis on maintaining natural beauty.

  3. Focus on Cuticle and Side Skin Care - Our standout step involves treating the delicate cuticle layers and toughened skin around the nails, particularly the thumb grooves, leaving your fingers soft and refreshed.

  4. Strengthening with Hard Gel & Structure Gel - To ensure durable results, we use high-quality hard gel and structure-building gel.

  5. Nourishment & Lasting Shine - Finally, we add a cuticle treatment and nourishing oil to give your nails a natural glow.

At KiraKira Nails, we offer more than a manicure—we provide a rejuvenating hand and nail experience designed to nurture both your nails and hands. Perfect for those looking to treat their hands to an extra level of care and beauty!
