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.

How do I use a manicure kit at home for the best results?

For the best results, follow these steps:

-Prep your nails by shaping them with the Nail Priming Emery Board and filing in one direction to avoid splitting. Buff the nail surface lightly to remove any imperfections using the Nail buffer sponge.
-Create the effect by applying one or two coats of your chosen Active™ Care Polish for a glossy, smooth, or plump effect. Layer different shades for a personalized look.
- Moisturize your nails with a drop of Complete Serum every two days to keep your nails and cuticles deeply hydrated.

Is this manicure kit suitable for everyday use at home?

Yes, this manicure kit is perfect for daily use at home. It includes all the essential tools to care for your nails, from shaping and smoothing with the Emery Board to enhancing your nails' natural shine with the Active™ Care Polishes. The Complete Serum ensures that your nails and cuticles stay hydrated and nourished every day. Designed for simple application, it allows you to achieve salon-quality results with minimal effort, making it ideal for regular use.

How do I maintain and clean my manicure tools for long-lasting use?

To keep your manicure tools in top condition, clean them after each use with warm water and mild soap. For extra hygiene, sanitize the tools with rubbing alcohol. When it comes to the packaging, the glass bottle of the Complete Serum can be reused or recycled, while the plastic cap and nail brush should be cleaned and placed in recycling bins. Proper cleaning ensures the longevity of your manicure tools and promotes a hygienic experience with every use.

Trop tôt pour juger de

"Trop tôt pour juger de l'effet sur la qualité des ongles En revanche les couleurs sont sympas notamment les 3 irisées superbes pour l'été Active Bright a des reflets bleutés, Active plump Pink glazed des reflets roses et Active plump Aqua glazed des reflets "vert lagon" Très beaux appliqués seuls mais aussi superposés pour des ongles effets perle. . . selon l'ordre de superposition l'effet change : J'adore ! Et ils tiennent très bien Je l'enlève au bout de 15 jours à cause de la repousse mais le vernis n'est pas écaillé"

Me encanta toda la gama

"Me encanta toda la gama de productos manucurist. Tengo un problema de alergia a los acrilatos debido a la manicura permanente en gel, según mi dermatólogo es el peor castigo que le puedes hacer a tus uñas de por vida, pero desde que descubrí manucurist y tras un periodo de más de un año de recuperación de mis uñas, ahora estoy encantada, tengo las uñas fuertes y largas, duras y bonitas, utilizo tanto la línea active para descanso de la semipermanente, como la línea green flash semipermanente. Mis uñas están divinas y todavía más con el nuevo extrem flash, deja un brillo espectacular y duradero!!!"

I am so happy with

"I am so happy with the active nail polishes especially the smooth ones. It is nice to layer it with one of the glows to get a different style/colour. Very nice that the actives can be done without any primer or top coat. Best for holidays cause I only need to bring 1 bottle!"

I was a bit hesitant

"I was a bit hesitant at the beggining, because I've tried many nail products that were promising to repair the nail. After 3 weeks of using the products from the Active Kit I must admit that I am very satisfied of the results. Nails are healthier and they don't break that easy. I totally recommend the products."

— Emanuela S. (5/5)

Beautiful, Natural-Looking Nails

"Amazing results! My nails look so neat and well-groomed with a beautiful, very subtle pink tint. The finish is elegant and natural. The only downside is that if you end up washing dishes in the evening, be prepared to touch up a tip or two. ☺️"
