See all the steps
Step 1 - Prepare the nail
Use Green Flash™ Nail Polish Remover to remove any oil from your nails.
Step 2 - Base Coat
Apply a thin layer of Green Flash™ Base Coat. You don't need a lot.
This step is very important. It stops the polish from lifting and helps the color to adhere.
Once you've applied the base coat, cure under the Green Flash™ Premium 36W Lamp for 1 minute or the Green Flash™ 24W Lamp for 2 minutes.
Step 3 - Color
Now you can apply your favorite Green Flash™ color in 2 or 3 brush strokes. Start in the middle and then paint each side of the nail.
Once again, it's important to use as little product as possible. Cure under the Green Flash™ Premium 36W Lamp for 1 minute or the Green Flash™ 24W Lamp for 2 minutes.
Repeat this step so you end up with 2 thin coats of color.
Step 4 - Top coat
Apply the Green Flash™ Top Coat, cure under the Green Flash™ Premium 36W Lamp for 2 minutes or the Green Flash™ 24W Lamp for 3 minutes.
TIP 1 - Apply Green Oil
Once you have completed your Green Flash™ manicure, use our Green Oil to enhance and moisturize your skin.
Apply a few drops to your cuticles and massage in to moisturize. You can also rub it into your fingers.
Et voilà—your Green Flash™ manicure is complete and you'll have beautiful, glossy nails for up to 12 days!

Step 1 - File Nails
Apply on prepped nails. File the nails to create the perfect shape using a 100/180 File.
Step 2 - Prepare the nail outline
Apply a drop of Cuticle Softener to the nails and leave it for a
moment, then gently push back cuticles using small circular motions left and right with the Cuticle Pusher. Finish with Cuticle Nippers to achieve a clean nail contour
Step 3 - Roughen Nails
Lightly buff the nail surface using the Nail Buffer Sponge.
Step 4 - Degrease the nails
Degrease the nail using a lint-free pad or tissue soaked
with the Gentle Polish Remover Green Flash™
Use as little product as possible
Wipe one side of the brush and just leave a small drop of product on the tip of the other side.
Remove any traces of polish from the fingers
For optimal staying power, remove any excess polish from the skin before curing under the lamp. To do this, soak a brush or cotton bud in Green Flash Nail Polish Remover and rub gently.
Apply Green Oil
Finish off your Green Flash manicure by applying Green Oil. Apply a few drops to the nail contour and massage in gently to help it penetrate.
