Manucurist Active Shine Opal is a highlighting care polish that strengthens and lights up bare nails in one step. Halfway between nail care and make-up, this all-in-one perfector brings a burst of radiance to nails that look dull and tired, with a pearly beige veil, semi-opaque coverage and a fine shimmer. Its formula pairs beetroot extract with AHAs and hexanal, and it is worn directly on bare nails, without a base coat or top coat.

Key Benefits

  • Highlighter finish: a pearly beige veil with a soft shimmer that catches the light.
  • Buildable result: one coat gives a pearly veil, two coats a stronger highlighter effect.
  • Caring formula: helps harden the nails and makes them more resistant to breaking.
  • Simple to wear: goes on bare nails and dries in the open air within seconds, with no lamp.
  • Made for layering: pair it with other Manucurist Active shades to create your own shade.

Key Ingredients

Beetroot extract brings a powerful natural antioxidant to the formula. AHAs help restore, protect and hydrate the nail, and hexanal helps make the nail plate harder.

Take it off like a regular polish, with a gentle nail polish remover. Explore the full Manucurist range of nail care and nail polish, created in Paris.

How to Use

Apply Manucurist Active Shine to clean, bare nails, without a base coat or top coat, and let it dry in the open air; no lamp is needed. One coat leaves a pearly veil, like a touch of light on the nail; a second coat gives a more pronounced highlighter effect. Layer it with other Active shades for a personalized result, and remove it gently with a gentle nail polish remover.

Frequently Asked Questions

What finish does Manucurist Active Shine Opal give?

A pearly beige veil with a highlighter effect. Manucurist describes Active Shine Opal as semi-opaque, with a pearly finish and a fine shimmer that brings radiance to dull-looking nails. One coat stays sheer and natural, while a second coat makes the highlighter effect more visible.

Do I need a base coat or top coat with Manucurist Active Shine?

No. Manucurist Active Shine is applied on bare nails, with no base coat and no top coat. Its care formula needs direct contact with the nail to work, and the finish is already glossy, so the polish is worn on its own and dries in the open air.

Can I use Manucurist Active Shine with Green Flash?

No, not at the same time. Manucurist states that the Active range is not compatible with Green Flash and should never go under a lamp. Active Shine fits well between two Green Flash manicures, to care for the nails and bring out their natural glow in one step.

What are the key ingredients in Manucurist Active Shine?

Active Shine combines beetroot extract, a powerful natural antioxidant, with AHAs that help restore, protect and hydrate the nail. Hexanal helps harden the nail plate and makes nails more resistant to breaking. The formula also contains glycerin and vitamin E (tocopherol).

How do I remove Manucurist Active Shine?

Remove Manucurist Active Shine like any regular polish, with a gentle nail polish remover. The brand suggests its Green gentle remover or its Green Flash remover. Hold a soaked cotton pad on each nail for a few seconds, then wipe the color away without rubbing hard.
