Description

The Green™ system includes all the essentials for a complete classic Green™ manicure routine. Specifically formulated in 5 steps for a pro-like result: gel-effect without a lamp, ultra-pigmented color, and extended wear.

Professional-grade products with plant-based formulas to strengthen, hydrate, and nourish the nails deeply:

Nail Prep: Perfectly prepares the nail by removing any traces of cream, oil, or impurities. Apply before any manicure using a cotton pad soaked in the product. It is also used for cleaning brushes and tools!

Base Coat: Treatment and protective, enriched with Hexanal, which strengthens the nail structure and promotes the formation of bonds between keratin proteins, making them more resistant to breakage. Essential before applying Green™ color to protect the nail, set the color, and extend the wear of your polish.

Top Coat Sunshine: The Top Coat Sunshine seals in the color for extended wear and provides exceptional shine with its UV-sensitive formula for a 'gel-effect' without a lamp.

Drying Drops: They cut the drying time of Green™ polish by half (-51%). Enriched with ceramides, the Drying Drops provide express drying while nourishing the nail and its contour. They ensure ultra-precise application with a dedicated push-button.

How to use the Essentials of the Green™ System?

Step 1 - Vitaminised Base Coat
Apply the Green™ Vitaminised Base Coat and allow it to dry to help extend the wear of your manicure.

Step 2 - Colour
Apply your favourite shade and allow it to dry. Repeat this step to achieve two thin coats of colour.

Step 3 - Gel-Like Top Coat
Apply the Gel-Like Top Coat and allow it to dry. This seals the nail polish and delivers a glossy gel-like finish without the need for a lamp.

Step 4 - Drying
Apply one drying drop to each nail. The result: nails dry in just 1 minute, while the nail contour is nourished.

Step 5 - Remover
Gently remove your nail polish with the Gentle Remover or the Remover Oil. Soak a cotton pad with remover, place it on the nail for a few moments, then wipe away the polish. Once removed, the nails feel regenerated and the nail plate is revitalised.

Pro tip

Before applying the Vitaminised Base Coat, use your Gentle Remover as a degreaser. This helps prepare the nail surface by removing any traces of oil and impurities, ensuring better polish adhesion and longer-lasting wear.

FAQs

Les questions les plus fréquemment posées par nos utilisatrices et notre communauté !

Do you already have Green™ products? Are they compatible with the new formula?

Absolutely! All Green™ products purchased in 2024 are compatible with the new formula. You can complete your routine to get the full system.
For products purchased before 2024, durability cannot be guaranteed as all Green™ products were reformulated in 2024.

Opt for The Essentials Green™ System, which includes the nail prep, drying drops, base coat, and top coat sunshine!

I already use Green Flash™. What is the difference between the two ranges?

The Green™ range is a line of nail polish that dry in the open air without a lamp, offering shine and wear for up to 7 days.
The Green Flash™ range is a LED gel polish line that hardens under a lamp, for long-lasting wear up to 10 days and express removal in 1 minute without acetone.

Do I need a lamp?

No, the Green™ range products dry without a lamp, in the open air.

I already have a Green Flash™ starter kit. Can the ranges be mixed?

No, the ranges cannot be used together. However, all the colors from the Green Flash™ range are available in the Green™ range if you want to find your favorite shade!

Is Green™ compatible with another brand?

Yes, Green™ products are compatible with other brands of classic nail polish. However, without using the complete system, the 7-day wear cannot be guaranteed.

How should you properly store your Green™ polish to ensure it lasts long?

You should keep the product as tightly closed as possible and close it immediately after use!

PRO TIP: try storing in the the refrigerator!
Lowering the temperature helps prevent some ingredients in the polish from evaporating which can keep formulas from becoming thick and degradation over time.

Are your products natural?

Our ranges are green and clean, made of up to 83% plant-based ingredients, without endocrine disruptors, monomers, or hydroquinone.
The Green™ range is also vegan, certified by the Vegan Society!

Can pregnant and/or breastfeeding women use Green™ products?

Our Green™ formula is green and clean: it contains up to 84% plant-based ingredients like cassava, sugar cane and potatoes, and is 9-free (no dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde toluene, formaldehyde resin, camphor, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), xylene, parabens, phthalates or animal-derived ingredients). However, women should avoid all types of nail polish when they are pregnant or breastfeeding. We recommend you speak to a healthcare professional if you are unsure.

Can using Green™ polish cause allergies?

Our Green™ formula meets European standards and does not contain any sensitising substances. It is also certified gluten-free and safe for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, as are our Green Flash™, Active™ and nail care ranges. Most customers who are allergic to regular nail polish are not allergic to Green™ nail polish. However, as allergic reactions are not specifically linked to chemical ingredients, they can sometimes occur with plant-based ingredients. We recommend you speak to a healthcare professional if you are unsure.

For more information, see our blog on allergies.

"This is my second time buying this kit and the base coat and the top coat labels on both bottle have different discriptions which is very confusing. First kit Quick Dry Base Coat Second kit Protecting Base Coat and then for first kit top coat Sunshine High Shine then second kit Top Coat Gel-like Too Coat.

Every product delivers!

"This essentials pack has everything I need: an oil-based nail polish remover, nail degreaser, base coat, top coat, and drying drops. Every product performs exactly as it should. The remover is gentle, the degreaser preps the nails well, and the base and top coats give great results. My favorite product is the drying drops. After applying them over the gel-like top coat, my nails are dry to the touch in about 5 minutes and fully hard and dry within 10 minutes. It makes doing my nails so much faster and easier. Overall, this is an excellent set, and every product does its job perfectly."
