FAQ

The most frequently asked questions from our users and community!

Why use a hardening nail polish?

Hardening nail polish is an essential treatment for fragile and brittle nails. It helps strengthen the nail structure, preventing splits and peeling. It is particularly recommended for people with soft or damaged nails, offering extra protection against external aggressors. Used regularly, it gives your nails the strength they need to withstand daily wear and tear, while improving their appearance.

When and how should you apply a nail hardener for best results?

For optimal results, apply the nail hardener to clean, dry nails. Ideally, use it as a base coat before applying a classic nail polish. You can also use it on its own as an intensive treatment. Apply a thin layer and let it dry before adding a second layer if needed. We recommend applying it 2 to 3 times a week to maximise its effectiveness. The hardener creates a protective barrier and promotes the regeneration of fragile nails.

How long does it take to see results from a nail hardener?

The initial results of a nail hardener polish are usually visible after 1 to 2 weeks of regular use. Your nails will gradually become stronger and more resilient. However, for long-lasting, visible results, we recommend using it alongside Green Oil and Keratin Booster, a hardening treatment that replenishes and strengthens the nail plate. This works to deeply reinforce your nails for optimal long-term results.

Can you apply regular nail polish over a nail hardener?

Yes, you can absolutely apply regular nail polish over a nail hardener. The hardener acts as a protective base, creating a solid, smooth layer on the nail, ideal for extending the wear of your polish. It's important to let the hardener dry before applying your coloured polish to achieve a clean, long-lasting finish.

Can treatment base coats be used as a base before applying my Green™ or Green Flash™ nail polish?

Treatment base coats can be used as the base for your Green™ manicure.

However, they cannot replace the Green Flash™ base coat, which cures under an LED lamp.

How many coats should you apply for a treatment base?

One coat is enough.

When reapplying a treatment base, do you need to remove the previous layer?

When doing a course of treatment, there is no need to remove the previous layer.

Is it recommended to use a treatment base coat under Green Flash™?

For optimal wear, it is not recommended to use a base coat other than Base Coat Green Flash™.

Can treatment bases be removed with the Green Flash™ remover?

All treatment bases are removed just like our nail polishes, with our Dissolving Oil or our Green Flash™ remover.

Which nail care is best suited to my nail type?

What is the difference between the S.O.S Base and the Force Base?

The S.O.S Base is designed for brittle nails weakened by external aggressions: frequent gel manicures, excessive filing or buffing, overexposure to chemicals... The Force Base is designed for soft nails that tend to bend or fold easily.

Can pregnant and/or breastfeeding women use the skincare range?

The skincare formulas are green and clean: they are bio-sourced up to 99%, meaning they are made from ingredients derived from biomass such as aloe vera, lemon, ginseng, pomegranate and grape. However, all nail polish, regardless of its nature, should be avoided by pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers. If in doubt, we invite you to consult your doctor.

Can using nail care products cause allergies?

Our care formulas are compliant with European regulations and do not contain sensitising substances. They are also certified gluten-free and safe for people who are gluten intolerant or have coeliac disease, just like the Green Flash™, Green™, and Active™ ranges. Most customers who have experienced allergies with conventional nail care products do not have any with the Manucurist care range. However, since allergic reactions are not exclusively linked to synthetic ingredients, they can sometimes occur with plant-based ingredients as well. If you have any doubts, we advise you to consult your doctor.

For more information, we recommend reading our blog post on allergies.
