How to use?

Step 1: Prep Nails

Start by shaping nails by filing in one direction, then the other to avoid splitting your nails' keratin fibers. Use the Buffer Sponge to lightly buff the surface of your nails, removing any imperfections or ridges.

Step 2: Create Effect

Apply a coat of the Active™ of your choice to boost the natural shine of your nails. Apply multiple coats to increase the intensity and/or create your ideal shade by layering different Actives.

Step 3: Hydrate and remove polish

Enriched with panthenol and vitamins C & E, the Gentle Remover removes polish protects the nail fibre, softens it and helps strengthen it with continued use.

FAQ

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.

How do I use a manicure kit at home for the best results?

For the best results, follow these steps:

  • -Prep your nails by shaping them with the Nail Priming Emery Board and filing in one direction to avoid splitting. Buff the nail surface lightly to remove any imperfections using the Nail buffer sponge.
  • -Create the effect by applying one or two coats of your chosen Active™ Care Polish for a glossy, smooth, or plump effect. Layer different shades for a personalized look.

- Moisturize your nails with a drop of Complete Serum every two days to keep your nails and cuticles deeply hydrated.

Is this manicure kit suitable for everyday use at home?

Yes, this manicure kit is perfect for daily use at home. It includes all the essential tools to care for your nails, from shaping and smoothing with the Emery Board to enhancing your nails' natural shine with the Active™ Care Polishes. The Complete Serum ensures that your nails and cuticles stay hydrated and nourished every day. Designed for simple application, it allows you to achieve salon-quality results with minimal effort, making it ideal for regular use.

How do I maintain and clean my manicure tools for long-lasting use?

To keep your manicure tools in top condition, clean them after each use with warm water and mild soap. For extra hygiene, sanitize the tools with rubbing alcohol. When it comes to the packaging, the glass bottle of the Complete Serum can be reused or recycled, while the plastic cap and nail brush should be cleaned and placed in recycling bins. Proper cleaning ensures the longevity of your manicure tools and promotes a hygienic experience with every use.
