FAQ
What is Green Flash? A gel polish without the drawbacks, formulated with natural-origin ingredients and that can be removed like a regular nail lacquer. The finish is super shiny and stays that way. No more plastic effect, it is as thin as a nail lacquer.
What is left out? The Green Flash nail polish is formulated without sensitising Monomer or Hydroquinone. Instead it uses Oligomers with a greater molecular mass, which does not penetrate the nail or skin. What is a Monomer? Acrylic or methacrylic Monomers belong to a family of ingredients that polymerise under LED lamp. They present a risk of contact sensitisation, which can lead to allergic reactions or breathing problems (asthma). What are Hydroquinones? Hydroquinones act as inhibitors, which means they prevent the gel polish from spontaneously catalysing inside the bottle. These hydroquinones are listed as CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction).
What 9 ingredients is it free from?: It is made without toluene, DBP, camphor, xylen, formaldehyde (the compound and the resin), ethyl tosylamide, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), benzophenone 1&2 and styrene.
Can the regular Green Nail Polish and Green Flash be mixed? No, each range and formula is unique and made up of different ingredients so they can never be mixed.
How do you cap the nail? Once the product is on, carefully pass the brush over the edge of the nail, without adding more product beforehand.
Should pregnant women use the Green Flash? Pregnant women should avoid all types of nail polish, however the Manucurist range of products both Green and Green Flash are green and clean and do not contain any endocrine disrupters, monomers and hydroquinone.
Can the Green Flash be use without the LED lamp? No, the Green Flash products need the led lamp to set and cure the colour. If another lamp is used it must have the minimum power of 18W.
