Care must be taken to keep the product as open as possible and close it as soon as possible!

Little trick to defeat heat: Nothing better than the fridge!
Reducing temperature avoids the evaporation capacity of the varnish and reduces the degradation process of the formula which can work over time.

You can find the complete list of ingredients on the product sheet of the article in the "Ingredients" tab!

Our ranges are composed up to 83% of bio-based ingredients, without endocrine disruptor, monomer or hydroquinone.

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

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

The Green™ varnish can be used from 12 years old.

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

The preparation stage is already very important to ensure good performance:

1) Liminate your nail to give it the desired shape with the help of our file. For hand nails, use fine grain (logo Manucurist) and thicker grain for foot nails.
2) Push the cuticles. Apply our emollient to the contour of the nail. Leave to act 2 minutes and then repel cuticles with a shoot.
3) Liminate the nail surface with our polisher. It is intended to smooth, polish and open the scales of your nail so that the varnish adheres better.
4) Then remove any traces of fat and/or impurities from the body thanks to our Degreaser to allow for better adhesion and prolonged hold of the varnish.

Then apply the Green™ varnish by following the following steps. Perform each step on all 10 fingers before moving to the following:

1) Apply a thin layer of Base Coat directly after the degreaser.
2) Apply 2 thin layers of color once the Base Coat is dried. Wait a little between each layer that it dries a little.
3) Apply 1 thin layer of Top Coat
4) Apply 1 drop dryer in the centre of each nail, after application of the Top Coat.
Apply thin coats of varnish and wait 1 to 2 minutes between each layer!

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

Yes, you can use one of our operating bases under your Green™ manicure, such as the S.O.S. Base, Base Force, or Base 5.5. These bases are designed to strengthen your nails while ensuring good adhesion for Green™ varnish.

The formula Green™ is green and clean: it contains up to 84% of bio-sourced ingredients such as cassava, sugar cane or potato) and 9-free (dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde toluene, formaldehyde resin, camphor, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), xylene, paraben, phthalate, animal ingredients). However, any varnishes of any kind should be avoided for pregnant women or nursing mothers. If you are reluctant to take a medical note, please consult your doctor's advice.

The formula Green™ is in accordance with European regulations and contains no sensitizing substances. It is also attested to gluten-free and safe for people with gluten or celiac allergies, as well as the Green Flash™, Active™ and care ranges. Most clients who have experienced allergies with conventional varnishes do not use Green™ varnish. However, since allergic events are not specifically related to chemical ingredients, they may sometimes occur with bio-sourced ingredients. If you are reluctant to take a medical note, please consult your doctor's advice.

For a smooth removal of your transparent varnish, prefer a soft solvent.

Stir a cotton, apply it for a few seconds on the nail and wipe to dissolve the color without overwrapping.

If necessary, repeat the operation rather than scratching nails.

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

Tip: For more pigmented shades, use a clean cotton to avoid repositioning color on the nail.

Under normal conditions, a classic varnish can last up to 7 days with a clean and shiny finish, depending on the preparation of nails and your habits (water, cleaning, manual activity...).

If your varnish quickly scalves, it usually comes from one of these points:

-unprepared or cleaned nail
- too thick or poorly dry layers
- lack of basic or top coat
- frequent exposure to water or household products

The right reflexes to prolong the outfit:

-well prepare and clean nail before laying
- apply a coat basis
-Prior to fine and regular layers
-let dry completely between layers
-sell with a top coat

Tip: Wearing gloves for household tasks helps to preserve shine and color longer.

For a clean, luminous and uniform rendering, everything rests on a good preparation and thin layers.

Prepare your nails: line up according to the desired shape, gently push back the cuticles and clean the surface of the nail.

Apply a Green™ Base Coat in fine layer to protect nails and optimize hold.

Apply your transparent in 1 to 2 thin layers (2 fine layers allow a more homogeneous result), allowing the dryness of the transparent to be done in the open air between each layer.

Finish with a Top Coat to fix the color and bring shine, then apply a cuticle oil.

Tip: Remove any overflow immediately for a clear and precise outline.

Our formulas of nail polish and semi-permanent varnishes are vegan and composed of a maximum of bio-sourced ingredients according to the ranges, without compromise on the shine, the hold or the intensity of the colors.

To guide you:

For an express manicure or a weekly routine, prefer Green™ varnishes or Active™ varnishes for the nail care.
For long-lasting wear with catalysing under lamp, opt for Green Flash™
