Reviews

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."

FAQ

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

How to apply bitter polish correctly?

To apply the bitter polish, start by carefully cleaning and drying your nails. Apply a thin layer of polish on clean nails and let it dry completely. It is recommended to reapply every 2 days to maintain the product's effectiveness and keep the bitter taste to discourage bad habits.

How to remove the bitter polish taste in the mouth?

If the bitter polish is accidentally tasted, the taste may be unpleasant. To neutralize 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 personalized advice.

How old do you have to be to use Bitter Nail Polish?

Our Bitter Nail Polish is recommended for ages 12+.

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

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

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.
