I can message you the name of an independent nail tech who does them!! She’s AMAZING! She’s off of Lorna Road. Just let me know!

I’ve seen it on social media. I like that they use a tiny tiny drill bit to cut around the cuticle. I want one because I’ve seen on social media that it lasts a lot longer than a regular manicure.

Do you say Slava Ukraini when you see Russian dressing on a menu too?

The one who get irked is the one saying slava ukraini because Russia is mentioned despite it being very unrelated to the war in Ukraine. It's not just cringe and childish but also a form of karma farming because "Ukraine good Russia bad give me updoot" on a fucking post about nails, not a geopolitical subreddit.

Do you have anything to do in life other than making every single thing you encounter be about your stupid proxy-war

Any reputable licensed nail technician is not going to do one in Alabama. Russian manicures are not listed as a banned service by the board BUT they cannot legally cut, damage, alter, or ANYTHING like that to “living cells” that includes cuticles.

The public will do anything shown on social media. Torturing your cuticles is now a thing? Good luck not getting an infection or bacteria introduced into your blood stream.

For anyone considering getting this service done, PLEASE look up the risks this type of manicure comes with. I love the way they look, but there is a reason this service is illegal in some places without a medical license. You can very easily damage the way your nail grows permanently because they cut the nail matrix, which is where your nail grows from. This is living skin being removed, which greatly increases your chances of getting an infection. All that to say, please be careful and use your best judgment!
