FAQs
Q: Do I need to use a Base Coat or Top Coat with Active Shine™?
A: No. The Active™ range features an all-in-one care + color formula. It is applied directly to clean bare nails without a base coat, top coat, or UV LED lamp.
Q: How is Active Shine™ different from standard nail polish?
A: Traditional polishes provide color alone, whereas Active Shine™ contains 79.5% bio-sourced ingredients alongside active skincare ingredients like AHA glycolic acid and beetroot extract. It beautifies the nail while actively conditioning and strengthening it to reduce breakage over time.
Q: How do I remove Active Shine™?
A: Simply wipe off using a gentle, acetone-free remover (such as Manucurist Green Dissolvant). It wipes away easily without drying out or damaging natural nails.
Q: Is it suitable for pregnant women and sensitive skin?
A: Yes. Made in France with a high percentage of plant-based ingredients, it adheres to strict 12-Free vegan standards (free from HEMA, formaldehyde, toluene, etc.), making it safe for expecting mothers and sensitive individuals.
