Reviews

Dopo aver fatto il test

"Dopo aver fatto il test sul sito, ho seguito il consiglio della mail ricevuta e acquistato il kit routine per cercare di salvare le mie unghie indebolite e che si sfaldavano. Beh che dire: ora le mie unghie sono super dure, non si sfaldano più, e sono lunghissime (per i miei standard). Inoltre anche lo smalto mi dura di più (ovviamente sempre marca manucurist). Super consigliato! Allego foto del prima e del dopo"

Magnifique amélioration de mes ongles après deux s

"Je suis très agréablement surprise de voir à quel point mes ongles sont devenus beaux et sains. Les stries sont moins marquées et la peau autour des ongles est bien hydratée. Les première photo montrent le début de la cure, avec Active Smooth appliqué sur mes ongles, puis (2 photos) aujourd’hui sans vernis, uniquement mes ongles naturels. Je regrette de ne pas avoir pris de photo de mes ongles naturels avant de commencer la cure, mais l’amélioration est vraiment importante."

— Daniela (5/5)

Grundsätzlich war ich sehr begeistert

"Grundsätzlich war ich sehr begeistert und denke es ist ein gutes Produkt. Im Urlaub, Meer und Sonne, verfärbte sich der Lack allerdings innerhalb weniger Tage in ein scheusliches gelb und ich musste ihn entfernen. Sehr schade. Gerade bei rilligen Nägeln aber top. Nägel sehen glatt, gepflegt und natürlich schön aus."

buenas. Compre este kit via

"buenas. Compre este kit via on line el 9. 01. 2026. Según indicaban en la web de Manucurist me iban a enviar por email las instrucciones para el uso del kit y como debo seguir el tratamiento para uñas estriadas. No he recibido nada hasta ahora. Pueden enviarlo?. Mi email: mjose.salinas@yahoo.es. Gracias"

Nagyon élvezem a körömlakkot, tetszik,

"Nagyon élvezem a körömlakkot, tetszik, de szeretném tudni hogyan távolítható el, mert a hagyományos lemosók nem oldják, és 3 nap múlva a lakk felszedi a körmöm. Nagy segítség lenne, ha kapnék választ. Üdvözlettel: Éva"

J'aime vraiment beaucoup et ai

"J'aime vraiment beaucoup et ai suivi aisément la routine. La routine mérite 5 étoiles MAIS je dois mettre un bémol sur l'utilisation du tube "Concentré perfecteur". Le produit me convient parfaitement, le tube en lui-même m'a posé problème. Soit mon exemplaire était grippé soit le système en tant que tel ne fonctionne pas bien: les flèches indiquent de tourner le bouchon dans les deux sens et sans réellement qu'il soit indiqué comment ouvrir et comment fermer. Résultat, après une utilisation, le capuchon est cassé et ne tient plus sur le tube rendant le concept du capuchon pinceau totalement inutilisable. Dommage donc !"

— Maria C. (4/5)

Ho comprato questo kit perché

"Ho comprato questo kit perché dopo mesi di semipermanente le mie unghie erano devastate, talmente “fresate” che si sono assottigliate tantissimo, a tal punto da vedere ad occhio nudo la differenza fra la parte dell’unghia nuova e la vecchia! I prodotti manicurist mi stanno aiutando tantissimo regolano le differenze di spessore e me le hanno anche rinforzate. Voglio provare anche gli altri prodotti e colori Spedizione veloce, tutto ottimo!"

Résultats visibles très rapidement. Routine

"Résultats visibles très rapidement. Routine très simple à mettre en place. Mes ongles très striés à la base sont devenus beaucoup plus lisses et solides après 15 jours d'utilisation."

— sandrine.bazzea@gmail.com ‎. (5/5)

Mi sto trovando molto bene

"Mi sto trovando molto bene con questi 2 prodotti! Dopo anni di gel, avevo le unghie molto deboli e striate; adesso stanno migliorando notevolmente! Grazie"

— Daniela G. (5/5)

Ho acquistato il kit Routine

"Ho acquistato il kit Routine Ultimate - Ongles Striés perche' le mie unghie da tempo molto fragili e striate, lo sto usando da un paio di mesi e la situazione e' veramente cambiata. Finalmente ho delle belle mani con unghie non piu' sfaldate, dure , lisce e dal colore chiaro ed uniforme. Piu' che soddisfatta"

Q&A

FAQ

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

Can I use a treatment base coat as a base coat for my Green™ or Green Flash™ polish?

Treatment base coats can be used as a base coat as part of your Green manicure.

However, they cannot be used instead of a Green Flash™ base coat, which needs to dry under the lamp.
How many coats of treatment base coat do I need to apply?

A single coat is enough.
Can I use a treatment base coat under Green Flash™?

For maximum staying power, we recommend that you only use Green Flash™ Base Coat.
Can treatment base coats be removed with Green Flash™ Nail Polish Remover?

All our treatment base coats can be removed like our polish - with our Nail Polish Remover or Green Flash™ Nail Polish Remover.
If I want to apply more treatment base coat, should I remove the old coat first?

When using a treatment base coat, there's no need to remove the previous coat.
Can pregnant and/or breastfeeding women use your nail care range?

Our nail care formulas are green and clean: they are up to 99% plant-based, i.e. made from biomass ingredients like aloe vera, lemon, ginseng, pomegranate and grape. 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 your nail care products cause allergies?

Our nail care 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 Active™ ranges. Most customers who are allergic to regular nail care products are not allergic to the Manucurist nail care 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.
