How do I apply bitter nail polish correctly?

To apply the bitter nail polish, start by thoroughly cleaning and drying your nails. Apply a thin coat of polish to clean nails and allow it to dry completely. We recommend reapplying every 2 days to maintain the product’s effectiveness and preserve the bitter taste to curb bad habits.

How do I remove the taste of bitter nail polish from my mouth?

If the bitter nail polish is accidentally tasted, the taste may be unpleasant. To neutralise it, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. You can also use a mild mouthwash to reduce the bitter taste. If discomfort persists, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.

From what age can Vernis Amer be used?

Vernis Amer can be used from age 12.

Can I use the Bitter Nail Polish as a base before applying my Green™ nail polish?

It is not recommended to use the bitter nail polish as a base under a Green™ nail polish, as it could mask the bitter taste of the product, limiting its effectiveness. It is better to apply the bitter nail polish as a top layer, over a Green™ nail polish or a top coat.

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.

This has definitely helped me

"This has definitely helped me not bite my nails! The taste is bitter and unpleasant, as it should. It doesn't transfer to e. g. , food if I'm cooking or eating. I also like that it has ingredients that help the nails grow stronger and healthier. Obvs doesn't fix the reasons I bite my nails (anxiety, stress), but reminds me to opt for better coping mechanisms!"

Great

"It’s not the worst tasting one out there but it gets worse when bitten. One coat is enough for me for the whole week but it doesn’t last well on its own. It needs to be applied on a base coat or base and top coat."

— Elena C. (4/5)
