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.
