How to use Advent Calendar Time to Shine! products?

Day after day, open each box of the Time to Shine! Advent Calendar and discover a surprise designed to enhance your nails.

Nail preparation
Prepare your nails perfectly in 4 steps with the included essentials:
- Nail File: shorten if needed and shape your nails.
- Cuticle Remover: leave on for 2 minutes to soften cuticles.
- Steel Cuticle Pusher: gently push back cuticles for a clean contour.
- Nail Buffer: lightly buff the nail surface to improve polish adhesion.

Green™
Apply 1 to 2 coats of your favorite shade over the Vitaminized Base Coat and let it air dry. Between each coat, use the Corrector Pen to clean any excess product, then seal your manicure with the Top Coat. For twice faster drying and nourished cuticles, apply a drop of Drying Drops to each nail.
Result: a gel-like finish without a lamp, express air-drying in just 1 minute, and up to 7 days of wear and shine.
Removes gently with the Oil Remover or Gentle Remover.

Active™
Apply Active™ care polishes to bare nails, without base coat or top coat, and let it air dry.
Each make-up finish is unique and buildable. Layer Active™ Glow Grape, Active™ Plump Aqua Glazed, and Active™ Shine Icy for an ultra-personalized look.
Removes gently with the Oil Remover or Gentle Remover.

Festive nail art
Use the included gold glitter and nail stamper to create festive looks!
- Gold Glitters: apply over your Green™ or Active™ shade of choice, using either your fingertip or a brush.
- Mani Stamper: for a perfect, easy French, apply a thin layer of color onto the stamper, then gently press the tip of the nail onto it. Use a slight rolling motion from one side to the other to create a French tip. Once dry, apply a coat of Top Coat.

Nail and hand care
Reveal the beauty of your nails and hands with strengthening, nourishing, and moisturizing care.
- Keratin Booster: helps strengthen and regenerate nails. Apply 1 to 3 times a day on bare nails using the brush. Let absorb completely. No need to rinse or massage.
- Nail & Cuticle Oil: to intensely nourish nails, apply a drop of oil to the nails and surrounding skin after your Green™ or Active™ manicure, or directly to bare nails. Massage gently to help absorption.
- Rose Fragrance Hand Cream: use as often as desired to keep hands moisturized. Reapply throughout the day, especially after washing your hands, to prevent dryness.

*with Xtrem Flash™ Top Coat.
How do I apply the right amount of nail polish?

Applying the right amount of nail polish is an essential step in achieving thin, even coats, ensuring the best results with Green™ manicures. It also helps prevent chipping.

To do this, dip the brush into the polish, then wipe the unused side against the neck of the bottle. Repeat on the other side of the brush up to around halfway, leaving a small drop of polish at the tip. Be sure to wipe the stem of the brush as well. This correct amount ensures a precise and even application.
Why is my manicure losing its shine?

A loss of shine is generally caused by very frequent contact with water or household cleaning products. Feel free to reapply a layer of Top Coat after a few days to restore your manicure’s shine.
Can Green™ nail polishes cause allergic reactions?

The Green™ formula complies with European regulations and is also certified gluten-free. However, as allergic reactions are not specifically linked to synthetic ingredients, they can sometimes occur with naturally derived ingredients as well.

If you are unsure, we recommend seeking advice from your doctor.
Can pregnant and/or breastfeeding women use Green™ products?

Although most of our products, including our Green™ formulas, are naturally derived, they have not been specifically tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women. As a precaution, we recommend discussing their use with your healthcare professional, who will be able to advise you according to your individual situation.
