Anyone can apply Green Flash™, including complete beginners!

If you know how to use regular nail polish you can use Green Flash™: you apply the base coat, colour and top coat in exactly the same way. The only difference is that you cure your nails under the lamp!

If you know how to use gel polish, there are a few points to note. Applying Green Flash™ is more like applying regular nail polish: there's no need to remove oil first and the polish is not buildable like gel polish, so you need to get it right from the start.

We recommend that you treat it like regular nail polish that has to be dried under a lamp!

Unfortunately not, each formula is unique and made from different ingredients. Our Green Flash™ products should always be used with other Green Flash™ products to ensure the best results. You will need (at least):

• One Green Flash™ base coat
• One Green Flash™ colour
• One Green Flash™ top coat
• An LED lamp with an output of at least 24W

For effective removal, we highly recommend using Green Flash™ plant-based Nail Polish Remover and the accompanying nail clips.

Points to note:
Using a Green Flash™ colour with a base coat and top coat from another gel/regular nail polish brand will not work.
Using a Green Flash™ base coat with a colour and top coat from another gel/regular nail polish brand will not work.
etc.

The Green Flash™ formula meets European standards and does not contain any sensitising substances like the methyl acrylate monomers, HEMA, acrylate, titanium or nickel found in the formulas of many traditional gel polishes. It is also certified gluten-free and safe for people with gluten intolerance and celiac disease, as are our Green™, Active™ and nail care ranges. Most customers who are allergic to regular gel polish are not allergic to Green Flash™ polish. 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.

The Xtrem Flash™ top coat has been formulated in strict compliance with European cosmetic regulations, among the most demanding in the world. As with any gel, reactions may still occur in individuals who are already sensitised, most often due to poorly cured residue or product coming into contact with the skin. To minimise this risk as much as possible, we support our customers with a precise application protocol: apply thin layers, remove any excess from the cuticles before curing, and cure the thumbs separately to prevent the product from shifting. This guidance ensures a smooth and confident experience when using our top coat.

For more information, see our blog on allergies.

Each lamp can have a different wattage and specific curing time for optimum results.
Our Green Flash polishes have been tested with our lamps to guarantee long, beautiful wear.

Recommended curing times depend on your lamp model:

• For our 36W LED lamp (Premium lamp): 1 minute for the base, 1 minute per colour coat, 2 minutes for the top coat.
• For our 24W LED lamp (Slim Lamp): 2 minutes for the base, 2 minutes per colour coat, 3 minutes for the top coat.
• For a 48W LED lamp: 1 minute for the base, 1 minute per colour coat, 1 minute for the top coat.

We have not determined the appropriate curing time for lamps of other wattages, so we cannot guarantee results with these lamps.
It is essential to adhere to the recommended catalysis times to achieve the desired result!

Unfortunately not, our Green™ treatment base coats are only compatible with products from our Green™ range. You have to use a Green Flash™ base coat for a Green Flash™ manicure. But you can apply a treatment base coat between Green Flash™ manicures to give your nails a little extra TLC!

To stop brush marks from appearing in your Green Flash™ polish, you need to apply it in very thin coats using no more than 3 brushstrokes! To get the right amount of product on your brush, scrape the brush stick against the inside neck of the bottle to remove any excess.
Then wipe it from one side of the brush. You should be left with a small drop on the tip of the brush! Use one drop of polish for each finger.

If you are wearing Green Flash™ polish, you can apply a coat of our Color Refresher on top of it after a few days. You don't need to cure it, as it air-dries.

Our Green Flash™ polish is recommended for ages 16+.

Your health is at the heart of our priorities! Although our products are up to 84% bio-sourced, they have not been specifically tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women. As a precaution, we recommend discussing it with your healthcare professional, who will be able to guide you according to your situation

With Green Flash™, removal is simple, quick, and gentle on the nail.

Soak a cotton pad with Green Flash™ gentle remover, apply it to the nail using a removal clip, then let it sit for a few minutes.

The polish naturally peels off. If needed, gently remove any residue with a stick.

No need to rub, file, or peel: the formula is designed for easy at-home removal.

Finish with a cuticle oil to nourish and enhance your nails.

Tip: some highly pigmented shades may require a slightly longer application time.

Under normal conditions, a Green Flash™ manicure lasts up to 21 days with the Xtrem Flash™ Top Coat, depending on nail preparation and your lifestyle (water, cleaning, sports, manual work…)

If your polish peels off quickly, it is most often due to one of these reasons:

-application on the cuticles or skin (the polish lifts at the edges)
-insufficiently degreased nail
-too thick layers
-incomplete curing or unsuitable LED lamp

Good practices to optimize tenue:

-thoroughly degrease the nail before application
-apply thin and even layers
-avoid any overflow onto the skin
-limit impacts and wear gloves for household chores (especially during the first 24 hours).

For a clean, shiny, and long-lasting result, everything depends on the preparation and finesse of the layers.

Prepare your nails: file to the desired shape, gently push back the cuticles, lightly mattify the surface, then degrease.

Apply a thin layer of Green Base Coat Green Flash™ and cure under an LED lamp.

Then apply your in 1 to 2 thin layers (2 thin layers for an even finish), curing between each.

Finish with Green Flash™ Top Coat for up to 12 days of tenue, or Xtrem Flash™ Top Coat for up to 21 days of tenue and a gel-like domed effect. Cure, then apply cuticle oil.

Tip: immediately remove any overflow before curing for a perfect edge.
