FAQs

The questions our customers and community ask most often!

How to store your Green™ nail polish properly so it lasts longer?

Make sure to keep the product closed as much as possible and reseal it as soon as you can!

A little tip to beat the heat: nothing beats the fridge!
Lowering the temperature helps prevent the polish from evaporating and slows down the formula degradation process that can occur over time.

What are your products made of?

You can find the full ingredient list on the product page in the "Ingredients" tab!

Are your products natural?

Our ranges are made of up to 83% bio-sourced ingredients, free from endocrine disruptors, monomers, and hydroquinone.

The Green™ range is also vegan, certified by the Vegan Society!

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

Unfortunately no, each formula is unique, and the compositions are different. Our Green Flash™ products should therefore only be used with products from the same range to ensure satisfactory results.

From what age can classic Green™ nail polish be used?

Green™ nail polish can be used from age 12.

How long do Green™ nail polishes take to dry?

It all depends on the thickness of the coats, but thanks to the drying drops, you cut the drying time of your Green™ manicure in half (51% precisely, according to the studies conducted)!

What are the steps to follow for a manicure with the Green™ System?

The prep step is essential to ensure long-lasting wear:

1) Shape your nails using our nail file. For fingernails, use the fine-grit side (Manucurist logo) and the coarser grit for toenails.
2) Push back cuticles. Apply our emollient around the nail contour. Leave on for 2 minutes, then push back cuticles with a cuticle pusher.
3) Buff the surface of the nail with our buffer. It is designed to smooth, buff and open the nail's keratin scales so the polish adheres better.
4) Remove any oily residue and/or impurities with our Degreaser to ensure better adhesion and extend polish wear time.

Then apply your Green™ polish following these steps. Complete each step on all 10 fingers before moving to the next:

1) Apply a thin layer of Base Coat directly after the degreaser.
2) Apply 2 thin coats of colour once the Base Coat is dry. Wait a little between coats so each dries slightly.
3) Apply 1 thin layer of Top Coat
4) Apply 1 drying drop to the centre of each nail after applying the Top Coat.
Apply thin coats of polish and wait 1 to 2 minutes between coats!

How do I refresh the shine of my Green™ manicure after a few days?

If you have a Green™ manicure, you can reapply a coat of Top Coat Sunshine to revive the shine of your manicure after a few days.

Can I use another Green™ treatment base coat under my Green™ polish instead of the standard Green Base Coat?

Yes, you can certainly use one of our treatment base coats under your Green™ manicure, such as S.O.S. Base, Force Base, or 5.5 Base. These base coats are designed to strengthen your nails while ensuring great adhesion for Green™ nail polish.

Can pregnant and/or breastfeeding women use Green™ products?

The Green™ formula is green and clean: it contains up to 84% bio-sourced ingredients such as cassava, sugar cane and potato) and is 9-free (dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde, toluene, formaldehyde resin, camphor, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), xylene, paraben, phthalate, animal-derived ingredients). Nevertheless, 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 Green™ polishes cause allergies?

The Green™ formula is compliant with European regulations and does not contain any sensitizing substances. It is also certified gluten-free and safe for people with gluten allergies or celiac disease, just like the Green Flash™, Active™, and nail care ranges. Most customers who have experienced allergies with traditional nail polishes do not experience them with Green™ polish. However, since allergic reactions are not specifically linked to chemical ingredients, they can sometimes occur with bio-sourced ingredients. If in doubt, we recommend consulting your doctor.

For more information, we suggest reading our blog post about allergies.

How do I remove my nail polish without damaging my nails?

For gentle removal of your nail polish, choose a gentle nail polish remover.

Soak a cotton pad, apply it to the nail for a few seconds, then wipe to dissolve the colour without rubbing excessively.

If necessary, repeat the process rather than scraping the nail.

After removal, hydrate your nails and cuticles with an oil or nourishing treatment.

Tip: for more pigmented shades, use a clean cotton pad to avoid redepositing colour on the nail.

How long does my nail polish last and how can I improve its wear time?

Under normal conditions, a classic nail polish can last up to 7 days with a clean, glossy finish, depending on nail preparation and your habits (water, housework, manual activities…).

If your nail polish chips quickly, it is generally due to one of the following:

-nail not sufficiently prepared or cleaned
-coats that are too thick or not dry enough
-no base coat or top coat
-frequent exposure to water or household products

Good habits to extend wear time:

-prepare and clean the nail thoroughly before application
-apply a base coat
-opt for thin, even coats
-allow each coat to dry completely
-seal with a top coat

Tip: wearing gloves for household tasks helps preserve shine and colour for longer.

How do I apply my nail polish?

For a clean, radiant and even finish, it all comes down to good preparation and thin coats.

Prepare your nails: file them into your desired shape, gently push back the cuticles, then clean the nail surface.

Apply a thin coat of Green™ Base Coat to protect the nail and optimise wear time.

Then apply your in 1 to 2 thin coats (2 thin coats provide a more even result), allowing each coat to air-dry thoroughly.

Finish with a Top Coat to set the colour and add shine, then apply cuticle oil.

Tip: immediately remove any excess for a clean, precise outline.

Reviews

Stunning orange red

"This is such a stunning colour - if I was the type of person who could limit myself to one colour and have a trademark this would be it! So well lasting too - very impressed with manucurist products and they are my go to now. Reasonably priced too."

— Donna F. (5/5)

I like this color. Although

"I like this color. Although it hasn’t lasted as long. I had a problem with another color and that was never resolved. AI customer service was not the best. Was never able to schedule a consultation. Everything they had was booked. I wanted a refund but as I said a resolution was promised but there was no follow through in this case. Just frustrating. If it was a store I could’ve returned it. Online shoppers beware."

— Mary B. (5/5)

J'adore cette couleur et j'ai

"J'adore cette couleur et j'ai reçu plein de compliments à son sujet. En plus, ce vernis reste plusieurs jours sur mes ongles. D'habitude, je trouve que les vernis rouges sont très difficiles à enlever et qu'ils laissent des traces, mais ce n'est pas le cas avec celui-ci, je l'adore !"

— Michelle R. (5/5)
