From intricate nail art to meticulous nail care, this BGC-based studio is giving beauty enthusiasts something to talk about.

Your nails might be the smallest part of your outfit, but let’s be real: they can make a big statement.

Whether you love minimalist nude sets, playful patterns, or Pinterest-inspired designs, nothing beats getting your nails done just the way you like them.

As nail trends dominate TikTok and Instagram, beauty enthusiasts increasingly scrutinize where they get their nails done.

In Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Tips By Tine PH – the fastest-growing Russian Manicure and Pedicure Studio in the area – is bringing Russian manicures and pedicures to clients who appreciate precision, creativity, and a little extra attention to their nails.

The Russian Nail Care Experience

If you’ve been keeping up with beauty trends, you’ve probably come across the “Russian Manicure Technique”. Known for its clean and precise finish, the technique has gained attention for the level of detail involved in preparing the nails before applying polish or nail art.

Russian manicures typically involve specialized tools, including an electric nail file, to work around the nail plate and cuticle area.

The process skips water soaking, earning it the name “dry manicure.”

The craft requires considerable skill, particularly when working around the delicate skin surrounding the nails.

At Tips By Tine PH, Russian manicures and pedicures are the studio’s specialty. Founder Kristine Gumera also began investing in certified training in March 2024, learning from Russian Manicure World and other accredited nail education institutions in the Philippines.

“Russian manicure is all about clean, detailed cuticle work, and we pair that with our nail techs’ expertise in bringing your exact nail inspo to life. I want our clients to feel comfortable trusting us with their nails, knowing that they can have both the clean, polished look of a Russian manicure and the designs they’ve been wanting,” Gumera said.

That focus on technique has since shaped the studio’s services, catering to clients with different preferences, from minimalist styles to elaborate nail art.

Good Nails Need Good Care

Anyone who regularly gets their nails done knows that maintaining a fresh set takes some effort. Nails grow, designs need refreshing, and a little upkeep goes a long way in keeping everything looking neat between appointments.

Nail care is also a regular topic on the brand’s social media pages. In one Instagram post, it recommended refreshing Russian pedicures every three to four weeks, explaining how natural nail growth can also affect the placement and appearance of the product over time. On the other hand, nail-biting habits are also considered and taken care of by their nail techs. Tips By Tine PH, for instance, has documented a client’s progress in overcoming a nail-biting habit across several appointments.

Through these tips, the brand also encourages its 8,000+ followers to care for their nails before, between, and after appointments.

As with any specialized nail treatment, clients should feel comfortable asking about a technician’s training, hygiene practices, and the techniques used during their appointment, especially when the service involves the sensitive cuticle area.
