FAQ

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

What effect does Active™ Plump Aqua Glazed have on nails?

Active™ Plump Aqua Glazed creates a plumping visual effect with a pearly milky finish. Enriched with plant-based collagen and algae extract, its formula intensely hydrates and protects the nail.

Can I use Active™ polishes with the Green™ or Green Flash™ ranges?

Active™ and Green Flash™ are not compatible! Active™ products are designed to be used on their own and air-dry in just a few seconds, so don’t put them under a lamp!
To enjoy the benefits of Active™, the product needs direct contact with the nail, so there’s no need to use it as a top coat. If you’re looking for a caring base to use before Green™, we recommend a care base coat.

Do I need a lamp to use Active™ polishes?

No. Active™ polishes air-dry quickly without the need for a Green Flash™ lamp.

Can I use Active™ polishes with a care base coat?

No. Active™ products should be applied directly onto bare nails. These care polishes need contact with the nail. There’s no need for a top coat either, since the finish is already naturally shiny!

Can I layer Active™ polishes for an even more “wow” effect, like make-up?

Yes! The Active™ range is endlessly buildable, you can layer them to create different effects.

How do I remove Active™ polishes?

Active™ polishes can be removed just like our Green™ nail polishes, with either the Oil Remover or Gentle Remover.
