FAQ

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

Why use a nail hardening polish?

The polish hardener is an essential treatment for fragile and brittle nails. It helps strengthen the nail structure, preventing cracks and splits. It is especially recommended for people with soft or damaged nails, providing extra protection against external aggressions. By using it regularly, you give your nails the strength they need to withstand daily stresses, while improving their appearance.

When and how to apply a nail hardener for the best results?

For optimal results, apply the nail hardener on clean, dry nails. Ideally, apply it as a base before applying a classic polish. You can also use it alone as an intensive treatment. Apply a thin layer and let it dry before adding a second layer if necessary. It is recommended to apply it 2 to 3 times a week to maximize its effectiveness. The hardener creates a protective barrier and promotes the regeneration of fragile nails.

How long does it take to see the effects of a nail hardener?

The first results of a hardening polish are generally visible after 1 to 2 weeks of regular use. Your nails will gradually become stronger and more resistant. However, for lasting and visible effects, it is recommended to use it in synergy with the Green Oil and the Keratin Booster, a hardening treatment that densifies the nail plate. This helps to strengthen the nails deeply and achieve satisfactory long-term results.

Can you apply a classic polish over a nail hardener?

Yes, you can perfectly apply a classic polish over a nail hardener. The hardener serves as a protective base, creating a solid and smooth layer on the nail, ideal for extending the tenue of your polish. It is important to let the hardener dry before applying your colored polish to achieve a clean and long-lasting finish.

Can I use a treatment base coat as a base coat for my Green™ or Green Flash™ polish?

Treatment base coats can be used as a base coat as part of your Green™ manicure.

However, they cannot be used instead of a Green Flash™ base coat, which needs to dry under the lamp.

How many coats of treatment base coat do I need to apply?

A single coat is enough.

If I want to apply more treatment base coat, should I remove the old coat first?

When using a treatment base coat, there's no need to remove the previous coat.

Can I use a treatment base coat under Green Flash™?

For maximum staying power, we recommend that you only use Green Flash™ Base Coat.

Do treatment bases come off with Green Flash™ remover?

All treatment bases remove like our polishes, with our Dissolving Oil or our Green Flash™ remover.

What is the difference between the S.O.S. Base Coat and the Force Base Coat?

The S.O.S Base Coat is designed for brittle nails weakened by external aggressors, e.g. frequent use of gel nail polish, excessive drilling or filing, overexposure to chemicals, etc. The Force Base Coat is for soft nails that tend to flex or bend easily.

Can pregnant and/or breastfeeding women use your nail care range?

Our nail care formulas are green and clean: they are up to 99% plant-based, i.e. made from biomass ingredients like aloe vera, lemon, ginseng, pomegranate and grape. However, women should avoid all types of nail polish when they are pregnant or breastfeeding. We recommend you speak to a healthcare professional if you are unsure.

Can using your nail care products cause allergies?

Our nail care formulas meet European standards and do not contain any sensitising substances. They are also certified gluten-free and safe for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, as are our Green Flash™, Green™ and Active™ ranges. Most customers who are allergic to regular nail care products are not allergic to the Manucurist nail care range. However, as allergic reactions are not specifically linked to chemical ingredients, they can sometimes occur with plant-based ingredients. We recommend you speak to a healthcare professional if you are unsure.

For more information, see our blog on allergies.
