Manucurist LED Lamp 18W UK

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 (in the words of the brand, ‘endocrine disruptors and allergenic molecules’) for natural, eco-friendly alternatives that promote glossy, long-lasting manicures and healthy nails. Don’t know where to start? Green Flash is THE gel nail polish to know; it’s 84% bio-sourced and comes in a selection of shades for every mood.

Anyone who loves a gel manicure will know that curing is key to a flawless finish. Ideal for travelling, this easy-to-carry LED Lamp will spare you the frantic waving of your fingers; instead, you can slip each hand under the light to dry them evenly and smudge-free.

The 18W lamp is designed for use with the cult-favourite Green Flash formula — a vegan, easy-to-remove gel polish that won’t damage your nails; made with ingredients derived from sugar cane, cotton, wheat and corn, the good-to-nails formula promises a satisfying smooth and shiny coat with the help of this handy lamp. Simply use the LED lamp to cure Manucurist’s base coat, colours or top coat.

Prepare your nails by removing any oil from your nails, using our Green Flash gentle remover. Step 1: wipe well the brush to remove any excess and apply the Green Flash base 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 2 minutes if you are using our 18W Led lamp. Times might be different if you are using your own lamp.

Step 2: apply the colour in 3 or 4 brush strokes only, using as little product as possible. Wipe on 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 thin layer and cap the free edge without adding more polish. Cure under our 18W led lamp for 2 minutes and repeat the same step one more time so you end up with 2 thin layers of colour.

Step 3: apply the Green Flash top coat in thin layer, cap the free edge of the nail and cure under the lamp for 3 minutes. Et voila ! You can expect an exceptional shine and staying power for up to 10 days!
