Take-anywhere care for beautiful hands at all times
Busy mum, neglected hands? Not a chance. Manucurist has created on-the-go nail care products to support nail lovers through every moment of their day. Hydrate nails, nourish cuticles and maintain healthy-looking hands anytime, anywhere with this curated edit of handbag- and beauty-pouch-friendly essentials:
The Perfecting Concentrate: the ultimate practical gift! This ultra-concentrated formula with castor oil, vitamin E and pistachio extract deeply nourishes both nails and cuticles. Just a few strokes soften cuticles, tidy nail contours and boost the strength and shine of natural nails. And thanks to its pen-style applicator, it can be used anytime, anywhere.
Hand Cream: Mums use their hands nonstop, so it’s no surprise they often become dry. This deeply soothing cream restores comfort in any season. Its lightweight, melting texture sinks in easily, hydrating skin without any stickiness or greasy residue. A refreshingly original gift idea—way better than the usual perfume! Available in three soft, natural scents: Fresh Rose, Orange Blossom and True Lavender.
The Precious Oil: combining the nourishing and antioxidant power of hemp with the protective benefits of everlasting flower, this oil instantly revives dry hands and nails—without leaving a greasy finish (yes, really!). Ideal for a little moment of care and comfort, and baby-soft hands.
