I use dry e-file techniques with sterile diamond bits to clear away dead skin without water soaking. This means your gel or extension sits flush against the cuticle, which is exactly why you won't see lifting or premature peeling after just a few days. There is a lot of misinformation about nail health, and I am here to clear it up. Most people think a manicure is just about the color, but the magic is in the cuticle work and the base prep. ### Why Dry Prep Matters Many salons rush through prep by soaking nails in water, which expands the nail plate. When you apply product to a wet nail, you are setting yourself up for lifting as the nail dries and shrinks. My process is 100% dry. I use professional e-file bits, including the flame bit, to gently exfoliate the sidewalls and cuticle area. This creates a clean, uniform surface that bonds perfectly with gel or builder in a bottle (BIAB). ### Hygiene is Non-Negotiable If you see someone re-using drill bits or skipping sterilization, walk away. Every tool I use is sterilized between clients. Whether it is the orange stick or the diamond drill bits, I treat every session like a medical procedure for your nails. ### The Result Because the polish is applied flush with the cuticle, you get a 'grown-out' look that stays neat for weeks. No gaps, no ragged edges, and no damage to your natural nail plate. If you are tired of nails that lift after five days or cuticles that look torn, this is the fix you have been looking for. This service is the foundation for everything else, from BIAB overlays to full sets of extensions. ## About Only Nails I am an educator and nail tech based in Navi Mumbai who is tired of seeing bad nail habits everywhere. I do not believe in shortcuts or mixing products, and my Russian manicure technique is built on pure hygiene and precision. If you are done with damaged nails and want a set that actually stays clean, you have come to the right place.
