FAQs

Les questions les plus fréquemment posées par nos utilisatrices et notre communauté !

Do you already have Green™ products? Are they compatible with the new formula?

Absolutely! All Green™ products purchased in 2024 are compatible with the new formula. You can complete your routine to get the full system.
For products purchased before 2024, durability cannot be guaranteed as all Green™ products were reformulated in 2024.

Opt for The Essentials Green™ System, which includes the nail prep, drying drops, base coat, and top coat sunshine!

I already use Green Flash™. What is the difference between the two ranges?

The Green™ range is a line of nail polish that dry in the open air without a lamp, offering shine and wear for up to 7 days.
The Green Flash™ range is a LED gel polish line that hardens under a lamp, for long-lasting wear up to 10 days and express removal in 1 minute without acetone.

Do I need a lamp?

No, the Green™ range products dry without a lamp, in the open air.

I already have a Green Flash™ starter kit. Can the ranges be mixed?

No, the ranges cannot be used together. However, all the colors from the Green Flash™ range are available in the Green™ range if you want to find your favorite shade!

Is Green™ compatible with another brand?

Yes, Green™ products are compatible with other brands of classic nail polish. However, without using the complete system, the 7-day wear cannot be guaranteed.

How should you properly store your Green™ polish to ensure it lasts long?

You should keep the product as tightly closed as possible and close it immediately after use!

PRO TIP: try storing in the the refrigerator!
Lowering the temperature helps prevent some ingredients in the polish from evaporating which can keep formulas from becoming thick and degradation over time.

Are your products natural?

Our ranges are green and clean, made of up to 83% plant-based ingredients, without endocrine disruptors, monomers, or hydroquinone.
The Green™ range is also vegan, certified by the Vegan Society!

Can pregnant and/or breastfeeding women use Green™ products?

Our Green™ formula is green and clean: it contains up to 84% plant-based ingredients like cassava, sugar cane and potatoes, and is 9-free (no dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde toluene, formaldehyde resin, camphor, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), xylene, parabens, phthalates or animal-derived ingredients). 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 Green™ polish cause allergies?

Our Green™ formula meets European standards and does not contain any sensitising substances. It is also certified gluten-free and safe for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, as are our Green Flash™, Active™ and nail care ranges. Most customers who are allergic to regular nail polish are not allergic to Green™ nail polish. 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.

Reviews

Le Must-have ! Je recommande

"Le Must-have ! Je recommande ce kit à 100%. J' ai découvert la marque avec le vernis Green classique couleur vert Brazil qui m'a bluffée par sa belle couleur pimpante et sa longue tenue de plus d'une semaine. Alors j'ai acheté ce kit de base (avec la couleur rouge Anémone)et jeté tous mes anciens vernis. Et tous les mois je m'offre une petite commande, avec le programme de fidélité c'est très avantageux je trouve. Merci Manucurist pour vos promesses tenues !"

Heel blij mee, had nagellak

"Heel blij mee, had nagellak een beetje opgegeven gezien ik klim en normaal nagellak direct afbrokkelt langs de ruwe muur en gelnagels wil ik niet ivm acrylaten. Toch de green nails nagellak geprobeerd en blijft echt heel goed zitten. Tuurlijk schuurt de bovenkant iets af langs de muur maar de rest van de nagel brokkelt niet af en blijft gewoon de hele week mooi zitten, dus heel blij mee :)"

Mooiste nagellak merk ooit. Voedt

"Mooiste nagellak merk ooit. Voedt mijn nagels. De active line maakt mijn nagels super mooi. De green line nagellak blijft echt mooi zitten en je hebt de keuze uit hele mooie kleuren. Super veel keus. De remover maakt je nagels niet droog. Ik koop nooit meer een ander merk nagellak."

Sono entusiasta di questo kit,

"Sono entusiasta di questo kit, seguendo bene tutti i passaggi si ottengono unghie lucide a specchio e una manicure che dura almeno una settimana! Il dissolvant è ottimo leva lo smalto velocemente e perfettamente senza rovinare le unghie. Ho comprato un secondo kit che ho regalato e la persona che lo ha ricevuto ne è a sua volta entusiasta. Io lo consiglierei a tutti!"

Muy recomendable. No me gusta

"Muy recomendable. No me gusta las manicuras semipermanentes porque varias razones: después de la manicura semipermaente se me debilitan la s uñas; a mitad de la manicura se ven crecidas; por otro lado, necesitas mucho tiempo (que no tengo) tanto para hacerla como para retirarla. La manicura conveniconal, a los dos dís ya no se ve bien. Con Maicurist he encontrado un producto fácil de apilicar, seca muy rápido y, lo mejor, el resultado es muy profesional con un brillo que nada tiene que enviadiar a una semipermanente y dura muchísimo con un acabado perfecto."

— Meritxell A. (5/5)

My favorite kit. I’ve never

"My favorite kit. I’ve never had great nails but after using this product for several months they have really improved. While I will never have long nails they now look really good with less breakage and splitting. I do my nails with this kit every 8-10 days. It dries super fast and goes on beautifully."

— Diane F. (5/5)

Ho provato tantissime marche ma

"Ho provato tantissime marche ma questa li batte tutti!!! Facilissimo da stendere dura fino a 7 giorni, per davvero!!! Ho un bambino piccolo, lavo e cucino ogni giorno e, ahimè, non uso guanti, con questo smalto ho comunque le unghie sempre perfette! Consigliatissimo!"

— Linda N. (5/5)

J'aime bien le kit, une

"J'aime bien le kit, une manucure de qualité, j'adore le top coat qui laisse un effet gel et les gouttes sechantes mais j'enlève une étoile pour les vernis qui ne sont pas assez pigmentés, la couleur est trop transparente et le rendu n'est pas du tout celui attendu, dommage"

— Alexandra C. (4/5)

J’ai longtemps hésité à acheter

"J’ai longtemps hésité à acheter le kit découverte....je me suis lancée et je ne regrette absolument pas bien au contraire. J’ai suivi les conseils donnés sur le petit livret et ma manucure reste intact pendant 1 semaine. Je suis vraiment très satisfaite et je vais recommander d’autres couleurs."

— Isabelle C. (5/5)

This is a great set.

"This is a great set. I wanted to try the jelly type varnish but not if it damaged my natural nails, this set was a perfect choice, a nice bright colour and keeping my nails healthy at the same time. The quick dry drops are a great time saver too. Easy to follow the instructions for pretty nails in minutes with no waiting for appointments to apply and remove."
