Manucurist Green Flash Base Coat is a vitamin-enriched LED base coat that strengthens the nails under the color. Its patented KeraHCE+ technology combines hexanal with vitamins C and E for the first time, to protect and fortify the layers of keratin that make up the nail plate. It is the first step of the Green Flash at-home LED manicure, for wear that lasts up to twelve days.

Key Benefits

  • Stronger nails: hexanal helps restructure and densify the network of keratin fibers.
  • Protective shield: vitamins C and E form an antioxidant shield against outside aggressions.
  • Longer wear: improves the adhesion and resistance of Green Flash color.
  • Dries under LED: sets under an LED lamp as the first step of the routine.
  • Gentle removal: comes off easily with the acetone-free Green Flash gentle remover.

Key Ingredients

Hexanal helps restructure and densify the keratin network of the nail. Vitamin C, as ascorbyl palmitate, helps protect the nails from outside aggressions, and vitamin E, as tocopheryl acetate, reinforces the nail surface. The vegan formula is designed to work only with Green Flash color and top coat.

How to Use

Degrease bare nails with the Manucurist degreaser or the Green Flash gentle remover. Apply a thin coat of Manucurist Green Flash Base Coat and dry it under an LED lamp; it stays slightly tacky, which helps the color adhere. Apply two thin coats of Green Flash color, drying each under the lamp, then finish with a Green Flash top coat dried under the lamp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Manucurist Green Flash Base Coat work with other gel polish brands?

No. Manucurist states that its Green Flash Base Coat has a bio-based formula compatible only with Green Flash polish. For the manicure to hold, use it with a Green Flash color and a Green Flash top coat, each dried under an LED lamp.

Why does Manucurist Green Flash Base Coat stay tacky under the lamp?

This is normal. Manucurist explains that the base coat is not fully dry after its first pass under the LED lamp: the drying stays partial on purpose so the Green Flash color adheres better. Apply your first coat of color directly on top.

Is Manucurist Green Flash Base Coat essential?

Yes. The base coat protects the nail and gives Green Flash polish its best adhesion. Manucurist says it is essential for wear and shine of up to twelve days, and its vitamin-enriched formula also strengthens the nail under the color.

What is new in the vitamin-enriched Manucurist Green Flash Base Coat?

A strengthening care formula. The new Manucurist base coat combines hexanal with vitamins C and E in its patented KeraHCE+ complex to protect and fortify the nail under the color, while the former Green Flash base coat protected the nail without caring for it.

How do I remove a manicure made with Manucurist Green Flash Base Coat?

With the Green Flash gentle remover. Manucurist designed the routine to come off at home without acetone; the gentle remover is enriched with castor oil, and the brand says the nail plate looks revitalized after removal.
