Anyone can apply Green Flash™, including complete beginners!

If you know how to use regular nail polish you can use Green Flash™: you apply the base coat, colour and top coat in exactly the same way. The only difference is that you cure your nails under the lamp!

If you know how to use gel polish, there are a few points to note. Applying Green Flash™ is more like applying regular nail polish: there's no need to remove oil first and the polish is not buildable like gel polish, so you need to get it right from the start.

We recommend that you treat it like regular nail polish that has to be dried under a lamp!

Unfortunately not, each formula is unique and made from different ingredients. Our Green Flash™ products should always be used with other Green Flash™ products to ensure the best results. You will need (at least):

• One Green Flash™ base coat
• One Green Flash™ colour
• One Green Flash™ top coat
• An LED lamp with an output of at least 24W

For effective removal, we highly recommend using Green Flash™ plant-based Nail Polish Remover and the accompanying nail clips.

Points to note:
Using a Green Flash™ colour with a base coat and top coat from another gel/regular nail polish brand will not work.
Using a Green Flash™ base coat with a colour and top coat from another gel/regular nail polish brand will not work.
etc.

The "peel-off" removal: it can be removed at home without acetone, rubbing or filing it off!

Dries instantly under an LED lamp: no more smears while it dries!

Up to 84% plant-based ingredients that are also vegan and non-toxic (really)!

Staying power for 10 days!

The "peel-off" removal: it can be removed at home without acetone, rubbing or filing it off!

It dries instantly: using an LED lamp with an output of at least 24W at a frequency that is less harmful to nails than UV lamps!

Up to 84% plant-based ingredients that are also vegan and non-toxic (really)!

Lasts up to 10 days: according to a survey, our customers like having the option of removing their polish at home and changing their colour after 10 days, rather than letting their nails grow for a month and then returning to the salon!

The Green Flash™ formula meets European standards and does not contain any sensitising substances like the methyl acrylate monomers, HEMA, acrylate, titanium or nickel found in the formulas of many traditional gel polishes. It is also certified gluten-free and safe for people with gluten intolerance and celiac disease, as are our Green™, Active™ and nail care ranges. Most customers who are allergic to regular gel polish are not allergic to Green Flash™ polish. 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.

Each lamp can have a different wattage and specific curing time for optimum results.
Our Green Flash polishes have been tested with our lamps to guarantee long, beautiful wear.

Recommended curing times depend on your lamp model:

• For our 36W LED lamp (Premium lamp): 1 minute for the base, 1 minute per colour coat, 2 minutes for the top coat.
• For our 24W LED lamp (Slim Lamp): 2 minutes for the base, 2 minutes per colour coat, 3 minutes for the top coat.
• For a 48W LED lamp: 1 minute for the base, 1 minute per colour coat, 1 minute for the top coat.

We have not determined the appropriate curing time for lamps of other wattages, so we cannot guarantee results with these lamps.
It is essential to adhere to the recommended catalysis times to achieve the desired result!

Unfortunately not, our Green™ treatment base coats are only compatible with products from our Green™ range. You have to use a Green Flash™ base coat for a Green Flash™ manicure. But you can apply a treatment base coat between Green Flash™ manicures to give your nails a little extra TLC!

To stop brush marks from appearing in your Green Flash™ polish, you need to apply it in very thin coats using no more than 3 brushstrokes! To get the right amount of product on your brush, scrape the brush stick against the inside neck of the bottle to remove any excess.
Then wipe it from one side of the brush. You should be left with a small drop on the tip of the brush! Use one drop of polish for each finger.

If you are wearing Green Flash™ polish, you can apply a coat of our Color Refresher on top of it after a few days. You don't need to cure it, as it air-dries.

Our Green Flash™ polish is recommended for ages 16+.

Our Green Flash™ formula is green and clean: it contains up to 84% plant-based ingredients like cassava, sugar cane and potatoes. It is also 12-free: it contains no endocrine disruptors, sensitising monomers, hydroquinone, allergenic molecules or carcinogenic molecules. 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.
