What is the best way to store my Green™ polish so it lasts longer?

You should try to open it as little as possible and close it as quickly as possible!

A little tip to beat the heat: the fridge is the best place to store it! Reducing the temperature helps prevent the polish from evaporating and slows down the rate at which the ingredients deteriorate.

What do your products contain?

You will find the full list of ingredients on the “Ingredients” tab of the product description page.

Are your products natural?

Our product ranges are green and clean with up to 84% plant-based ingredients (of natural origin). They are also free of endocrine disruptors, monomers and hydroquinone.

You can also rest assured that the Green Flash™ range is vegan, certified by the Vegan Society.

We are always on the lookout for an alternative to this product, as animal welfare is particularly important to us!

Is the Green™ range compatible with the Green Flash™ range? And with products from other brands?

Unfortunately not, each formula is unique and made from different ingredients. Our Green Flash™ products should only be used with products from the same range to ensure the best results.

How old do you have to be to use Green™ classic nail polish?

Our Green™ polish is recommended for ages 12+.

How long does Green™ polish take to dry?

It all depends on the thickness of your coats, but if you use our Quick-Dry Drops, you can halve the drying time of your Green™ polish (by 51% to be precise, according to recent studies)!

What steps do I need to follow for a Green™ System manicure?

The nail prep step is a very important way to make sure your polish lasts:

1) File your nails into your preferred shape using our emery board. Use the fine grain (Manucurist logo) for your fingernails and the coarser grain for your toenails.
2) Push back your cuticles. Apply our Cuticle Remover to the nail contour. Leave to work for 2 minutes, then push back the cuticles with a cuticle pusher.
3) File the surface of your nails using our buffer. This is designed to smooth, buff and open up the nail plate to help the polish adhere better.
4) Remove all traces of oil and/or impurities using our Nail Oil Remover to help the polish adhere better and last longer.

Then apply your Green™ polish by following the steps below. Carry out each step on all 10 fingers before moving on to the next step:

1) Apply a thin layer of Base Coat immediately after the Nail Oil Remover.
2) Apply 2 thin coats of colour once the Base Coat is dry. Wait a little while between each coat for it to dry slightly.
3) Apply 1 thin layer of Top Coat.
4) Apply 1 Quick-Dry Drop to the middle of each nail after applying the Top Coat.
Apply the polish in thin coats and wait 1-2 minutes between each coat!

How can I give my Green™ manicure a shine boost after a few days?

If you are wearing Green™ polish, you can reapply a layer of our Sunshine Top Coat to refresh its shine after a few days.

Can I use a Green™ treatment base coat under my Green™ polish instead of the regular Green™ base coat?

Yes, you can use any of our treatment base coats as part of your Green™ manicure, e.g. S.O.S. Base Coat, Force Base Coat or 5.5 Base Coat. These base coats are designed to strengthen your nails, while helping your Green™ polish to adhere properly.

What is a Jelly nail polish?

A Jelly nail polish is defined by its semi-transparent, jelly-inspired texture. It creates a sheer finish that lets the natural nail show through while adding shine and luminosity, unlike traditional, more opaque polishes.

With each layer, the color builds gradually without ever fully covering the nail, creating a natural, glossy effect.

Can the color intensity be adjusted?

With Jelly polishes, the more coats you apply, the more the color builds while staying slightly transparent, for a fully customizable finish.

Its jelly finish adapts to your every mood:

- 1 coat for a subtle, natural shine, perfect for a minimal manicure
- 2 coats for a softly tinted, translucent look
- 3 coats for a richer, more vibrant color

Is the Jelly range compatible with the Green Flash™ range? And with products from other brands?

Unfortunately, no. Each formula is unique, and their compositions differ. Green Flash™ products should only be used with others from the same range to ensure optimal results. However, all shades from the Green Flash™ range are also available in the Green™ range, so you can still find your favorite color!

How long do Jelly polishes take to dry?

Drying time depends on the thickness of the coats, but with drying drops, you can cut the drying time of your Jelly manicure in half.

Can using Jelly polishes cause allergies?

The Jelly formula complies with European regulations and is certified gluten-free. However, allergic reactions are not solely linked to synthetic ingredients and can sometimes occur with bio-based ingredients as well.

If in doubt, we recommend consulting your doctor.

Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use Jelly products?

Although most of our products, including Jelly formulas, are made with ingredients of natural origin, they have not been specifically tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women. As a precaution, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Fabulous colour. I received it

The Jelly Polishes are the best!

"I was genuinely concerned about how the colors would look in real life, as I have brown skin. I’m happy to say all the colors are flattering and the syrup/jelly finish with the controllable opacity makes for a dynamic, effortless look on the nails that doesn’t scream ‘manicure’ but looks very polished. The polishes give the nails a slightly muted flattering wash of color that isn’t streaky or overwhelming, even with brighter colors like Sugar Plum on darker skin. Great for someone who loves a no-make up, make up vibe that wants color that compliments but doesn’t distract. Shiny enough to wear without a topcoat if you get too busy, and when the polish wears off the tips of the nails towards the end of the week, it’s hardly noticeable. Absolutely love the colors and will be repurchasing when I’m through."

"Love the syrupy color while it being natural. It keeps my nails healthy and is longer lasting than I would expect! It’s been on for 8 days for me with a small amount of chip by the tip on 1-2 nails but not even noticeable. Very impressed with manucurist products! I love painting my nails at home now since it is so easy, healthy and my nails look good!"
