Why offer a manicure kit for Mother's Day?
A useful, original and on trend gift for moms
Time is precious, especially for active and dynamic moms. With a manicure kit, you are offering something invaluable, a beauty break that is often postponed but always appreciated when the opportunity appears. There is no appointment to schedule and no travel required. Everything needed is included in one practical set, available as a Green™ Nail Polish Starter Kit or a Green Flash™ LED Gel Polish Starter Kit, allowing a long lasting at home manicure that is simple and convenient.
Another lovely detail is the option to create a personalized gift by selecting 1, 3 or 5 colors from the Manucurist palette. This way every mom can rediscover their favorite nail shades and enjoy a manicure that truly reflects their style.

Nail polish or Gel Polish, which one should you choose?
It all depends on your mom’s lifestyle and manicure habits.
- For moms who love to change color whenever the mood strikes, choose Green™ nail polish. This classic polish is vegan and up to 83 percent plant based, easy to apply and air dries in about one minute. It keeps its vibrant glossy finish for around a week. With a palette of almost one hundred shades, color lovers will have plenty of choice.
- For moms who prefer perfect nails that last, opt for Green Flash™ Gel Polish. It is also vegan and up to 84 percent plant based, simple to apply and dries instantly under an LED lamp to deliver a gel effect shine and exceptional durability. It can last up to 21 days with Top Coat Xtrem™. Another advantage is the gentle removal process. Thanks to peel off technology used with a mild remover, the polish comes off easily without acetone or aggressive filing.

Nail care sets for an expert manicure at home
A personalized nail care routine
Sensitive, soft or ridged nails all require specific care. Manucurist offers tailored routines designed to address every nail concern. You can use our online nail diagnosis tool to determine your mom’s nail type and choose the beauty routine that suits them best.
- If their nails look dull and tired, the Sensitive Nails Starter routine will help to deeply nourish, strengthen and protect them from everyday stress. For radiant nails, combine the hydrating Complete Serum, the glossy treatment polish Active Glow™ Raspberry and the convenient on the go care essential Nourishing Nail Pen for continuous hydration.
- If their nails are soft and tend to bend or break easily, the Soft Nails Starter routine helps to harden, plump and reinforce the nail plate. The ideal trio to restore strength includes the Nail Strengthening Serum, the Nourishing Cuticle Oil and the Fortifying Base.
- If their nails display vertical or horizontal ridges, the Ridged Nails Starter routine aims to smooth, even and deeply restructure the nail surface. Irregularities fade thanks to the preparatory nail file, the S.O.S. Mask, the smoothing treatment polish Active™ Smooth and the Nourishing Cuticle Oil.
- If their nails are damaged due to harsh manicures or manual work, the Damaged Nails Starter routine helps to repair and strengthen them thanks to the combined action of the Nail Strengthening Serum, the Nourishing Cuticle Oil and the S.O.S. Mask.
