Description

Glossy Booster Duo – Revives Shine and Radiance of Natural Nails

A synergy of targeted ingredients to regenerate the nail surface:

  • AHAs & Gluconolactone: Gently exfoliate to lift and remove dead cells from the nail surface thanks to an acidic pH, while enhancing the penetration of hydrating ingredients.
  • Plant-based Glycerin: Intensely moisturises.
  • Liquorice Extracts: Help protect against external aggressors.

Visible results from the very first use:

  • +116% instant shine*
  • 100% report their nails look instantly shinier**
  • 100% say their nails are gently exfoliated**
  • 100% feel their nails are enhanced**


Nail Prep Set – Perfects Nail Shape and Surface

  • Nail File: Shapes the nails evenly without weakening them.
  • Cuticle Softener: Its gel-like texture, enriched with glycerin, ensures precise application around the nail to gently soften cuticles.
  • Cuticle Pusher: Made from stainless steel, it’s easy to clean with alcohol and is the go-to tool for professionals seeking a clean, well-defined nail contour.
  • Prep File: Smooths and evens out the nail surface. It gently opens the keratin layers of the nail to allow care products to penetrate effectively.

How to use the Prep & Glow Routine?

Nail Preparation

1. Nail File: Use the white side of the file — the more abrasive side (the one without the Manucurist logo) — to shorten your nails. Avoid filing back and forth. Start by filing the sides, then shape the top edge of the nail to create a balanced look. Switch to the smoother side (the one with the Manucurist logo) to gently refine and perfect your desired shape.

2. Effective Cuticle Softener: Apply around the edge of each nail and let it sit for 2 minutes to soften the cuticles.

3. Pusher: Gently push back the cuticles, keeping the tool as parallel to the nail as possible. Start with the rounded end, then use the flatter edge to remove any remaining dead skin.

4. Nail Buffer:
Lightly buff the surface of the nail in one direction only. Avoid using a back-and-forth motion.

Glossy Booster Duo

1. Glycolic Nail Exfoliator: Apply evenly to bare nails, then massage in until fully absorbed to gently exfoliate. The formula absorbs naturally — no need to rinse or wipe off.

2. Light Pink Side of the Nail Buffer: Gently polish the nail surface in one consistent direction, perpendicular to the nail, to smooth ridges and minimize imperfections.

3. Bright Pink Side of the Nail Buffer: Buff the nail surface to close the keratin layers and reveal a high-gloss shine.

Pro tip 💅🏻

Finish the routine with a boost of hydration using Nourishing Cuticle Oil for deeply nourished, radiant nails.

FAQs

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

Can I use the Glossy booster duo every day?

It is recommended to use the Glossy booster duo 2 to 3 times a week, to preserve the nail’s natural balance while maximizing the benefits.

Can I use the routine on polished nails?

No, this routine is designed to be performed exclusively on bare nails. The Glycolic peel needs to penetrate the nail surface, and the buffer works directly on the nail plate. It's essential to remove any polish before using the Glossy booster duo.

Do I need to remove the Glycolic peel before applying a base coat or nail polish?

No removal is necessary. Its gel texture absorbs quickly without leaving any residue.

Reviews

Le duo tient parfaitement ses

"Le duo tient parfaitement ses promesses ! Après l’application du produit et le passage du polissoir, mes ongles sont visiblement plus lisses, doux au toucher et joliment brillants. J’apprécie particulièrement le léger effet nacré qu’il apporte à l’ongle naturel. Le résultat est discret, soigné et élégant, même sans vernis. 🐚✨ Une très jolie découverte !✨☺️"

Commande arrivée rapidement, Ce produit

"Commande arrivée rapidement, Ce produit est facile à appliquer avec son pinceau, un massage des ongles et polissage Le résultat est assez surprenant, Effet lifting, les ongles sont doux. Le tube et le polisseur ne sont pas très grand. Avantage on peut le mettre dans son sac je pense qu’un format plus grand serait appréciable."
