FAQs

Les questions les plus fréquemment posées par nos utilisatrices et notre communauté !

Do I need to dry my nails under a lamp at each stage of a Glow French Manicure?

All the products in our Glow French Manicure kit are air drying, so there's no need to cure them under a lamp.

Are the products in the Glow French Manicure kit compatible with Green Flash™?

The products in the Glow French Manicure kit are air drying, so this kit is not compatible with Green Flash™ polish.

How big is the small pink pouch?

The small pink pouch is 21.5 x 15 cm.

What is the difference between the white emery board and the nail priming emery board?

The white emery board is used to shape the nail, while the nail priming emery board is used to gently buff the surface of the nail plate, so that the Base Coat adheres better.

Can using the Active™ range cause allergies?

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

Can pregnant and/or breastfeeding women use Active™ products?

Our Active™ formulas are green and clean: they are up to 85.5% plant-based, i.e. made from biomass ingredients like beetroot, castor oil, raspberry, blueberry and lemon. 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.
