Manucurist

Step one, after the Degreaser: Manucurist Green Base Coat, one thin coat under your color so the manicure starts on something even. Vegan, acetone-free removal.

The brownest red on the shelf: maroon with mahogany underneath, from Manucurist’s Grand Canyon collection. Green nail polish in Grenat, for sweater months.

Sheer gold glitter with tiny stars in it, alone for a scattered sparkle or over any Green shade on New Year’s Eve. Manucurist Green nail polish in Gold, 9-free.

The black-cherry burgundy for the first cold week of October, and a Manucurist best seller for a reason. Green nail polish in Dark Pansy, opaque, air-dry.

Try it over Dark Pansy when the weather turns. Manucurist Matte Top Coat takes any Green polish matte in one coat, air-dry. Works over cured Green Flash too.

Step three of a Green manicure, and it sets faster by a window: Manucurist Green Sunshine Top Coat, the glossy air-dry top coat that uses daylight. Vegan.

For the kid who’s always drawing: Barbouille, the charcoal-and-silver glitter in Manucurist’s Barbapapa kids’ nail polish line. Water-based, 8 mL, washes off.

Sunny yellow for the kid who’d rather be outside. Barbidou, Manucurist x Barbapapa water-based kids’ nail polish, 8 mL mini, washes off with soap. Ages 3 up.

One swipe per nail, right before base coat, so the polish has something clean to hold. Manucurist Degreaser, 94.5% plant-based prep for a Green manicure. 30 mL.

Takeoff day smells like orange blossom, not a nail salon. Manucurist Green Remover Oil: acetone-free remover for Green air-dry polish, 99% plant-based. 100 mL.

File, push, buff: the whole prep step in three pieces of glass that rinse clean and will be around a while. Manucurist glass nail file, cuticle pusher, buffer.
