Gel nail polish

Saphir

Green Flash™ application is easy for all skill levels, especially beginners!

If you know how to apply regular nail polish, you'll know how to apply Green Flash™: base coat, color, and top coat. The only difference is curing under the lamp!

If you're used to applying gel polish, keep a few things in mind: Green Flash™ application is more like regular nail polish—there is no need to wipe away an inhibition layer, and unlike gel, the polish isn't workable once applied, so you need to get the technique right from the start.

We recommend applying it just like regular nail polish—except you cure it under the lamp to dry!

Unfortunately not, each formula is unique and the compositions differ. Green Flash™ products must therefore always be used only with Green Flash™ products to guarantee results. At a minimum, you need:

• A Green Flash™ base coat
• A Green Flash™ colour
• A Green Flash™ top coat
• An LED lamp of at least 24W

For controlled removal, we strongly recommend using Green Flash™ bio-based Nail Polish Remover along with the matching clips.

Please note:
Using a Green Flash™ colour with a base and top coat from another semi-permanent or regular nail polish brand will not work.
Using a Green Flash™ base coat with a colour and top coat from another semi-permanent or regular nail polish brand will not work.
etc.

The Green Flash™ formula is compliant with European regulations and contains no sensitising substances such as methylacrylate monomers, HEMA, acrylate, titanium or nickel found in many classic semi-permanent nail polish formulas. It is also certified gluten-free and safe for people who are gluten-intolerant or coeliac, just like the Green™, Active™ and care ranges. The majority of customers who have experienced allergies with classic semi-permanent nail polishes do not experience them with Green Flash™ nail polish. Nevertheless, as allergic reactions are not specifically linked to chemical ingredients, they can sometimes occur with bio-sourced ingredients. If in doubt, we invite you to consult your doctor.

The Xtrem Flash™ top coat, has been formulated in strict compliance with European cosmetic regulations, among the most stringent in the world. As with any gel, reactions can however occur in people who are already sensitised, most often due to poorly cured residues or product overflowing onto the skin. To minimise this risk as much as possible, we guide our customers with a precise application protocol: apply thin layers, remove any overflow onto the cuticles before curing, and cure the thumbs separately to avoid product movement. This guidance ensures a worry-free experience with our top coat.

For more information, we recommend reading our blog article about allergies.

Each lamp may have a different power output and a specific curing time for optimal results.
Our Green Flash nail polishes have been tested with our lamps to ensure long-lasting, beautiful wear.

Recommended curing times depend on your lamp model:

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

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

Unfortunately not, our Green treatment bases are only compatible with products from our Green™ range. A Green Flash™ manicure must be done with the Green Flash™ base. But you can apply a treatment base between your Green Flash™ manicures to care for your nails!

Green Flash™ should be applied in a maximum of 3 brush strokes and in very thin coats — this prevents brush marks from appearing! To pick up the right amount of product: scrape the brush stem firmly against the inside of the bottle neck to remove any excess.
Then wipe the product off one side of the brush. Only a small drop should remain on the tip of the brush! Then pick up a fresh drop for each finger.

If you have a Green Flash™ manicure, you can apply a coat of our Color Refresher over your manicure after a few days. No need to cure it, it air-dries.

Green Flash™ nail polish can be used from the age of 16.

Your health is our top priority! Although they are up to 84% bio-sourced, our products have not been specifically tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women. As a precaution, we recommend consulting your healthcare professional, who will be able to advise you best based on your situation.

With Green Flash™, removal is simple, fast, and damage-free.

Soak a cotton pad with Green Flash™ gentle remover, apply it to the nail using a removal clip, and leave it on for a few minutes.

The polish lifts off naturally. If needed, gently remove any remaining residue with an orangewood stick.

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

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

Tip: some highly pigmented shades may require a slightly longer soak-off time.

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

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

-application on the cuticles or skin (the nail polish lifts at the edges)
-nail not sufficiently degreased
-layers that are too thick
-incomplete curing or an unsuitable LED lamp

The right steps to optimise wear time:

-thoroughly degrease the nail before application
-apply thin, 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, glossy, long-lasting result, it all comes down to preparation and thin coats.

Prepare your nails: file them into your desired shape, gently push back the cuticles, lightly buff the surface, then cleanse.

Apply Green Flash™ Base Coat in a thin layer, then cure under an LED lamp.

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

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

Tip: immediately remove any excess before curing for a perfect outline.
