FAQ

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

Can I use the polish in the Active™ range with Green™ or Green Flash™?

Our Active™ range is not compatible with Green Flash™! The products in our Active™ range should be used on their own and air-dryin just a few seconds, so don't require a lamp!

To enjoy the beneficial effects of our Active™ range, the product needs to be in direct contact with the nail. So there's no need to use it as a top coat. If you want to use a base coat that cares for your nails under your Green™ polish, use one of our treatment base coats.
Do I need a lamp to use the polish in the Active™ range?

The polish in the Active™ range air-dries without the use of a Green Flash™ lamp.
Can I use the polish in the Active™ range with a treatment base coat?

The products in the Active™ range should be applied to bare nails. You don't need to use a base coat, as each product in the range is also a treatment, so has to be in contact with your nails. You don't need a top coat either, as it already has a high-shine finish!
Can I layer Active™ products for an even greater "wow" effect, like makeup?

Yes! The Active™ range is endlessly buildable, so you can layer it to vary the effect and intensity.
How do I remove the polish in the Active™ range?

You can remove Active™ products in the same way as our polish - with a gentle nail polish remover, with our Nail Polish Remover or with Green Flash™ Nail Polish Remover.
Can pregnant and/or breastfeeding women use Active™ products?

Our Active™ formulas are green and clean: they are up to 85.5% plant-based, i.e. made from biomass ingredients like beetroot, castor oil, raspberry, blueberry and lemon. However, women should avoid all types of nail polish when they are pregnant or breastfeeding. We recommend you speak to a healthcare professional if you are unsure.
Can using the Active™ range cause allergies?

Our Active™ formulas meet European standards and do not contain any sensitising substances. They are also certified gluten-free and safe for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, as are our Green Flash™, Green™ and nail care ranges. Most customers who are allergic to regular nail polish are not allergic to the Active™ range. However, as allergic reactions are not specifically linked to chemical ingredients, they can sometimes occur with plant-based ingredients. We recommend you speak to a healthcare professional if you are unsure.

For more information, see our blog on allergies.
