FAQs

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

Can I use a treatment base coat as a base coat for my Green™ or Green Flash™ polish?

Treatment base coats can be used as a base coat as part of your Green manicure. However, they cannot be used instead of a Green Flash™ base coat, which needs to dry under the lamp.

How many coats of treatment base coat do I need to apply?

A single coat is enough.

Can I use a treatment base coat under Green Flash™?

For maximum staying power, we recommend that you only use Green Flash™ Base Coat.

Can treatment base coats be removed with Green Flash™ Nail Polish Remover?

All our treatment base coats can be removed like our polish - with our Nail Polish Remover or Green Flash™ Nail Polish Remover.

If I want to apply more treatment base coat, should I remove the old coat first?

When using a treatment base coat, there's no need to remove the previous coat.
