Manucurist Green Flash Varnish - Porcelaine

Founded in 1996 by Gaëlle Lebrat-Personnaz and her pioneering mother (who developed nail- specific salons in Paris), Manucurist offers glossy, long-lasting colour... at home. Providing treatments, from the comfort of your own sofa, the beauty brand promises salon worthy results, that aren't difficult or damaging. Delivering gel-like nails quickly is the Green Flash Varnish in 'Porcelaine'(15ml), a slightly off-white polish that suits all skin tones and all occasions.

Promising a pro-level mani from the comfort of your sofa (we're sold already), Manucurist's Green Flash Varnish in 'Porcelaine'(15ml) is gel polish reimagined.

This ivory-coloured polish delivers all the shine and long-wear of a gel manicure, without the damage. Let's talk about the formula: brimming with plant-based ingredients derived from sugar cane, cotton, wheat and corn, it leaves a glossy finish. Not only is it easy to apply, but it's just as hassle-free to wipe away with the brand's gentle nail polish remover.

Prepare your nails by removing any oil using the Green Flash Gentle Remover (sold separately).

Step 1: Wipe the brush to remove any excess and apply the Green Flash Base Coat (sold separately) in a thin layer (you don't need a lot). Cap the free edge of the nail by running the brush over the tip of the nail; this is very important to prevent the polish from lifting and this will help the colour to adhere better. Cure under the lamp for two minutes if you are using the 18W/24W Led Lamp (sold separately).

Step 2: Apply the colour in three or four brush strokes only, using as little product as possible. Wipe one side of the brush and just leave a tiny drop of product on the tip of the brush. Start in the middle of the nail, then paint each side in a thin layer and cap the free edge without adding more polish. Cure for two minutes and repeat the same step one more time so you end up with two thin layers of colour.

Step 3: Apply the Green Flash Top Coat (sold separately) in thin layers, cap the free edge of the nail and cure under the lamp for three minutes.
