Our criteria for choosing the best kit
A good kit is more than just a pretty box: it’s a complete, well-designed set that combines effectiveness, safety and a pleasure to use. Here are 3 essentials to consider:
✅ A high-performance bio-based formula
To meet new market expectations, next-generation gel polishes need to be:
- Bio-based: this means that, wherever possible, we replace synthetic ingredients derived from petrochemicals with plant-based, renewable alternatives.
- Vegan: in other words, their formula must not contain any ingredients of animal origin.
All without compromising on shine or wear time. Because bio-sourced, ultra-glamorous polish is possible!
The best gel polish kit? A high-performance bio-based nail polish kit.
✅ A complete, customisable kit
A great kit should contain all the essential tools for easy application and gentle removal of your gel polish, namely:
- A Base Coat, a Top Coat and one or more polish shades.
- A UV or LED lamp to dry polish effectively.
- A gentle remover and a set of removal clips.
- Plus, everything you need for meticulous nail prep: a file, cuticle softener, cuticle pusher, correcting pen… the little extras that take your manicure to the next level.
At Manucurist, Green Flash™ semi-permanent nail polish kits come with 1, 3 or 5 colours for you to choose.
All-in-one, the Green Flash™ kit adapts to your every mood.
✅ Easy application, a pro-like result
The number one goal of a kit: to let you create a salon-quality gel manicure at home, even if you're not a pro. It should therefore guarantee:
- Smooth, intuitive application.
- Quick drying under a UV or LED lamp.
- A glossy, even finish.
- Long-lasting wear without chipping.

✅ Gentle removal, without damaging the natural nail
A good gel polish kit supports you from application through to removal and should ideally ensure gentle removal that respects the nail. Forget the nail drill and acetone—opt instead for:
- A gentle, acetone-free remover that removes the peel-off polish layer and hydrates the nail thanks to a formula enriched with castor oil, for example.
- A set of removal clips to keep remover-soaked cotton in contact with the polish and ensure the peel-off effect.
Result: your natural nails are left intact, clean and hydrated. It’s the perfect time to give them a care break before your next manicure.
Easy application, pro-looking results: the winning combo for an at-home manicure that ticks every box!
Key takeaways:
- 84% bio-sourced and vegan formula: Green Flash™ replaces petrochemical ingredients with plant-based, renewable alternatives.

- Where traditional semi-permanent kits require filing and acetone, Green Flash™ ticks all four boxes.
