Manucurist Green Flash Base Coat 15ml

Leading the charge for change within the nail industry, Manucurist is a vegan and cruelty-free brand made in France. They pride themselves on swapping harsh ingredients for natural, eco-friendly alternatives that promote glossy, long-lasting manicures and healthy nails. An essential addition to your at-home manicure arsenal, the brand’s Green Flash Base Coat is an exceptionally durable (we’re talking 10 whole days of shine) clear gel polish that will provide a flawless foundation for any polishes to come.

Promising a pro-level mani from the comfort of your sofa (we’re sold already), Manucurist’s Green Flash Base is the first step in acing a gel nail routine you’ll love — without smothering your nails in iffy ingredients you’re not so keen on.

Designed to add a layer of protection to even the weakest of nails, all while coating them in an adherent natural resin that will keep nail polish chip-free for up to 10 days. Think of the Green Flash range as gel nails, reimagined: all the high shine, vibrant colour and impressive longevity, without any of that tell-tale thickness on the nail. All this and the base coat is formulated with 84% bio-sourced ingredients including sugar cane, corn, wheat and cotton — all of which are biodegradable and a whole lot better for the environment.

Alcohol Denat., Shellac, Bis-Hema Poly (1,4-Butanediol) -9 / Ipdi Copolymer, Ethyl Trimethylbenzoyl, Phenylphosphinate.

A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).
