The Ukrainian manicure is taking the beauty world by storm, quickly becoming one of the most innovative and precise nail care techniques available today. Known for its flawless results and meticulous attention to detail, this waterless manicure delivers an impeccable aesthetic while setting a new standard in both hygiene and nail artistry.
Unlike traditional manicures, the Ukrainian manicure is performed without soaking the hands in water and without using sharp cutting tools. Instead, it uses a gentle electric nail file (e-file) with ultra-fine bits to carefully shape the nails and clean the cuticle area with precision and care.
This modern, dry e-file technique is often mistaken for the Russian-style manicure, as both are waterless and focus on detailed cuticle work for a polished, long-lasting result. While they share similar tools and steps, the Ukrainian manicure offers a softer, more health-conscious approach, highlighting natural beauty and maintaining the highest standards of hygiene.
At Krasunya, client safety is our top priority. All tools go through a 3-stage sterilization process:
Each client is treated with individually packaged, sanitized tools, ensuring the highest level of cleanliness—every time.
E-File Manicure is Perfect For:
This manicure stays neat and chip-free for weeks — perfect for those with little time for touch-ups.
If you’re often in water or use your hands a lot, this manicure’s long-lasting gel formula resists chipping and wear — ideal for busy, hands-on routines.
No soaking means less risk of irritation, and the e-file is gentle when used correctly.
This technique isn’t just for women — it’s ideal for men who want neat nails and healthy skin without polish.
Dry manicures reduce the chance of infection and are cleaner than water-based methods.
Precision work at the cuticle line helps promote neat growth and reduces peeling or lifting.
The Ukrainian manicure is known for its sleek, Instagram-worthy finish — a favorite in top salons across Europe.
The dry technique allows for precise cuticle work and a polished, professional finish that lasts.
The e-file method creates a flawless surface for gel application and better adhesion.
