The easiest way is online via Booksy. You can also call (347) 656-2737 or DM @piccolonails on Instagram.
What is a Russian manicure?
It's a waterless technique that uses a fine e-file to gently clean the cuticle area, letting polish sit closer to the skin. The result looks cleaner and lasts noticeably longer than a traditional manicure. At Piccolo it's $70.
