I'd never heard of a russian manicure before meeting Monique. It's is super unique and effective. My cuticle area has never looked better. My nails seem happy as they grow so fast. I'm a lover of gel manicures and usually end up peeling off my own polish. Monique's nails last! After three weeks there is not even any noticeable growth from the base of the nail. They look as good as day one. Add to this her ability to do nail art and I'm totally thrilled to have met Monique. I highly recommend her nail services.
