Looking for a clean alternative to traditional gel polishes?
French beauty brand, the Manucurist, offers innovative products that are cruelty free, a vegan formula, and up to an impressive 84% plant-based ingredients!
In recent years, I have become much more aware of what ingredients are in the products I am using and exposing my family to. My daughter and I enjoy doing our nails together and this alternative to traditional gel polish sparked my curiosity.
After hearing about the natural ingredients and seeing reviews of beautiful at home gel manicures, I knew I needed to try the Manucurists green flash kit myself.
About The Company, Manucurist
Founded in 1996 by a mother in Paris, France, the Manucurist was opened as a brick and mortar nail salon. During this time, the founders daughter repeatedly heard conversations in the salon regarding common concerns such as; little time for self-care, damage from gel polish and gel polish removal. In 2016, after working in the luxury retail space, the founders daughter took over the business and focused on health and sustainability. As a result of a long development journey, the Manucurist is proud to say they were the “first green and clean alternative to gel nail polish.”
What I ordered
Super Starter Kit
1 Base Coat
1 Top Coat
5 Manucurist Green Flash Polish Options
Green Flash Nail Polish Remover (acetone-free nail polish remover)
5 Nail Clips
36W LED Lamp (I upgraded from a 24W LED lamp to a 36W LED lamp)
Simple Application Steps
- Base coat
- UV Lamp
- Polish/Color
- UV Lamp
- Top Coat
- UV Lamp
The whole process can take under 30 minutes! Think of how much time that saves instead of spending over an hour at a traditional nail salon.
Easy Removal Process
I noticed a significant difference in the health of my nail after removing this green flash gel nail polish with the Manucurist’s acetone-free remover.
For best results, apply the remover to a cotton pad and place on the nail, then cover with the nail clip. Leave the nail clip on for one minute and the gel nails will peel right off.
An at-home gel manicure could not be easier! I would highly recommend purchasing the nail clips as this makes the removal process so much easier and efficient.
How Long Does A Gel Manicure Last?
I would say your gel manicure could last a full week without chipping and up to ten days of wear if you are easy on your nails.
Does the Manucurist Offer Other Products?
Yes, the Manucurist offers nail care products, nail accessories, and options for kids nail polish products. The kids polishes are water based and can be removed with water!
Other Resources On The Website
I appreciate how the Manucurists website has a list of ingredients not included in their products. They also explain why these ingredients are not included. This information helped me understand why it is important to know what ingredients are going on my nails.
Conclusion
Whether you are looking to save money or looking for a sustainable, clean option, the Manucurists green flash system will not disappoint. Invest in the green flash pro kit and enjoy at-home manicures.
Knowing that the product you are putting on your nails is from bio-sourced ingredients and with the speedy application process, you can enjoy beautiful manicures on your own time.
