FAQs

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

What effect does Active™ Plump Aqua Glazed have on nails?

Active™ Plump Aqua Glazed creates a plumping visual effect with a pearly milky finish. Enriched with plant-based collagen and algae extract, its formula intensely hydrates and protects the nail.

Can I use Active™ polishes with the Green™ or Green Flash™ ranges?

Active™ and Green Flash™ are not compatible! Active™ products are designed to be used on their own and air-dry in just a few seconds, so don’t put them under a lamp!
To enjoy the benefits of Active™, the product needs direct contact with the nail, so there’s no need to use it as a top coat. If you’re looking for a caring base to use before Green™, we recommend a care base coat.

Do I need a lamp to use Active™ polishes?

No. Active™ polishes air-dry quickly without the need for a Green Flash™ lamp.

Can I use Active™ polishes with a care base coat?

No. Active™ products should be applied directly onto bare nails. These care polishes need contact with the nail. There’s no need for a top coat either, since the finish is already naturally shiny!

Can I layer Active™ polishes for an even more “wow” effect, like make-up?

Yes! The Active™ range is endlessly buildable, you can layer them to create different effects.

How do I remove Active™ polishes?

Active™ polishes can be removed just like our Green™ nail polishes, with either the Oil Remover or Gentle Remover.

Suelo usar el green flash

I love the first active

"I love the first active so I think I like this one better. It’s very pretty and it makes my nails look so strong and healthy because they are strong and healthy. It’s a pretty hue and sparkle I love the way it makes my nails feel it feel strong, but not brittle."

— barbara b. (5/5)

Très satisfaite, le vernis (2

"Très satisfaite, le vernis (2 couches) tient bien jusqu'à 15 jours. La teinte donne un bel aspect aux ongles. Je l'utilse après une couche de Active smooth qui lisse et unifie. Cela m'a permis de soigner mes ongles qui étaient tres striés et cassants."

— SYLVIE B. (5/5)

Love that this polish delivers

"Love that this polish delivers a thicker, translucent blue glow, with a subtle satin finish, giving my nails a clean, natural appearance. And, boy, does this polish hold up - NO chipping or flaking, period - probably the most important thing to me. I've had the same polish on for weeks - nails are growing out but polish still has no chips at all."

— Suzzette V. (5/5)

Déçu

"La couleur est très jolie et le retrait se fait facilement sans abîmer les ongles. Le gros problème est que le vernis jaunit très rapidement !!! Aussi bien sur les ongles des mains que sur ceux des pieds! Est ce l’effet de la plage ,de la mer et du soleil ? Ça fait vite très sale et négligé ! Obligé de le retirer rapidement !!! Grosse déception… je ne recommande pas cette formule"

Ce vernis, comme ceux de

"Ce vernis, comme ceux de la gamme All in one, est vraiment parfait. En modulant le nombre de couches on obtient un effet plus ou moins soutenu, mais toujours naturel. Les ongles sont beaux et élégants. De plus pas besoin de base ou de top coat et quand on ote le vernis les ongles semblent réparés et lissés. C'est une vraie découverte et une nouvelle façon de prendre soin de ses ongles."
