I use a dry Russian Manicure technique that avoids water-based soaking, which keeps your natural nail bed healthy and ready for growth. We start with short, custom-fit extensions that cover the nail plate, giving you an immediate confidence boost while stopping the urge to bite. I hear this every day. You are stressed or busy, and suddenly your nails are bitten down to the quick. My studio in Santacruz is a judgment-free zone. The goal here is not just to glue a plastic tip on and call it a day. We use a structure-focused approach to help your hands recover. ### The Process We begin with a clean, dry e-file manicure. This removes cuticle buildup without water, ensuring the extension adheres perfectly to the nail plate, even if it is very short. For bitten nails, I often recommend Soft Gel (Gel-X) because it is lightweight and flexible, or Polygel for a slightly stronger, buildable structure. ### Why It Works Extensions act as a physical barrier. When your natural nails are covered by a durable, professionally applied set, you cannot bite them. Over time, your natural nail bed begins to grow and recover underneath the extension. I typically suggest a maintenance refill every three to four weeks to keep everything tidy and prevent lifting. You do not need to hide your hands anymore. By keeping the extensions short and manageable, we make sure they fit your daily life, whether you are typing, working, or just living life. Let’s get them back to health together. ## About Avni Gala I'm Avni, and I truly believe everyone deserves to have nails they love.
