Today, more and more addicts are looking for nail polish as beautiful as it is safe. But whether it's with classic varnish or semi-permanent varnish, is a beautiful manicure possible without risk for nails - What? And vice versa, can a bio-based varnish have the same hold and rendering as a traditional varnish? At Manucurist , we think that Yes, and you are given proof of it in this ultimate guide to the new generation varnish.
Let us begin by reminding that, like hair and skin, nails absorb what they are put on. Therefore, we must be very vigilant in choosing our cosmetic products. A new generation varnish is a natural nail polish whose formula respects your nails and whose impact on the environment is controlled. Here's how, at Manucurist We are implementing this concept of responsible beauty in practice.
A bio-sourced varnish
Beware of appearances: "bio-sourced" does not mean "bio". A bioingredient is produced from a certified agriculture, without pesticides or GMOs, where a bio-sourced ingredient means a material of plant origin. At Manucurist , varnishes Green™ are bio-sourced up to 83% and varnishes Green Flash™ 84%. The objective is to go and get some plant alternatives to solvents or plasticisers from petroleum. And yes, it is possible and here are some examples:
- Corn allows the production of acetyltributylcitrate which allows the varnish to form a smooth and shiny layer.
- Sugarcane provides ethyl acetate that guarantees the fluidity and ease of application of our varnishes.
- 🍠 The cassava allows the extraction of butyl acetate, which also fluidizes and facilitates the application of varnish.
- ☁️ Cotton provides nitrocellulose that ensures the strength of the varnish.
These ingredients do not necessarily come from organic farming, but they allow for reduce carbon footprint of the product, D-use renewable resources and doffer a biodegradable product and more respectful formulations I'm not gonna be a fool.
Manioc, sugar cane, cotton, corn, potato... our vegetable alternatives to oil-derived solvents and plasticizers.
A varnish with natural assets
A new generation varnish is a varnish in which ingredients of plant origin will not only replace the synthetic molecules but also bring many benefits to your nails. At Manucurist , we constantly seek to put the extraordinary powers of plants at the service of manicure.

A vegan varnish
Choosing a new generation of varnishes is also the choice of a more ethical and responsible beauty. All varnishes Manucurist are vegan, i.e. without any ingredients of animal origin in their formulation, production or manufacture (excludes carmine, cochenille-derived pigments or animal keratin). It is not necessarily known, but animal products may be hidden in unsuspected ingredients such as certain dyes or plasticizers. This is the case with shellac from cochenilles, widely used in the cosmetics industry, and in many semi-permanent gels to promote their wear. Not at home. Manucurist whose product lines are certified by The Vegan Society.
Easy and safe installation and disposal
As we have seen, a bio-based composition does not make the varnish more difficult to put. With the choice of plant alternatives, it keeps all its fluidity and plasticity and dry quickly. At Manucurist , we have opted for the LED lamps rather than traditional UV lamps often used in the institute. They have the advantage of catalyzing the semi-permanent varnish faster, by emitting less strong UV rays and consuming less energy. To combine the LED lamp and the installation essentials, you can also choose a semi-permanent varnish kit Green Flash™, thought of a complete routine at home.
A new generation varnish is also a deposit that respects nail. Finish the solvent with acetone or the removals with sander or lime that leave nail in poor condition! Soft methods are preferred, using the bio-sourced solvent and enriched with vegetable oil, to remove color easily and quickly, while moisturizing the nail plate.
