FAQs

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

Can I use the polish in the Active™ range with Green™ or Green Flash™?

Our Active™ range is not compatible with Green Flash™! The products in our Active™ range should be used on their own and air-dry in just a few seconds, so don't require a lamp!

To enjoy the beneficial effects of our Active™ range, the product needs to be in direct contact with the nail. So there's no need to use it as a top coat. If you want to use a base coat that cares for your nails under your Green™ polish, use one of our treatment base coats.

Do I need a lamp to use the polish in the Active™ range?

The polish in the Active™ range air-dries without the use of a Green Flash™ lamp.

Can I use the polish in the Active™ range with a treatment base coat?

The products in the Active™ range should be applied to bare nails. You don't need to use a base coat, as each product in the range is also a treatment, so has to be in contact with your nails. You don't need a top coat either, as it already has a high-shine finish!

Can I layer Active™ products for an even greater "wow" effect, like makeup?

Yes! The Active™ range is endlessly buildable, so you can layer it to vary the effect and intensity.

How do I remove the polish in the Active™ range?

You can remove Active™ products in the same way as our polish - with a gentle nail polish remover, with our Nail Polish Remover or with Green Flash™ Nail Polish Remover.

Used for first time last

"Used for first time last week after 2 weeks of intensive nail treatment. I was doubtful if this product would hold up to daily activity…. surprise, surprise looked great after a week of daily wear and tear. The process of removing the product took a while with the recommended polish remover. Applying the remover with a cotton pad. The initial reaction was nothing happened after letting it sit for a while. It started to soften. Took patients to remove the polish, but I did get it all off. Was surprised the polish remover has no strong scent."
