When we think of the word ‘manicure’ there’s a very specific type of nail salon and experience most people have shared. An e-file manicure takes a luxury twist on traditional manicures by focusing on cuticle health and performing the entire manicure without any water (a dry manicure). E-file bits are used to delicately remove and exfoliate dead skin, which strengthens the health of the nails in addition to adding a more polished look!
The electric file is a professional tool with a rotating action that slowly buffs away the cuticle and dead skin, giving the nail artist complete control with a lower risk of cuts. A manicure without a cuticle attached to the nail can appear longer and the base coat, gel or polish is able to be applied closer to the base of the nail reducing that ‘grown out’ look everyone dreads a few weeks into a traditional manicure. Due to the delicate nature of the tools and cuticle, it is crucial to research a local e-file nail artist with extensive training to protect the health of your nails and receive the desired outcome: a beautiful manicure! When e-file tools are performed properly, your nails are able to grow and strengthen overtime.
I have received monthly e-file manicures for over a year now and my nails have become stronger, longer and I honestly enjoy the luxury treatment!

Wow! I had no idea there was a waterless manicure option. That’s amazing! I’ll have to check out this nail studio next time I’m in the DMV
