The secret to long-lasting natural nail polish

Our clients often ask us how to extend the life of their classic Manucurist Green manicure. While traditional nail polish has a reputation for being short-lived, a few simple steps and our product recommendations can help you maintain a beautiful color. Here are some tips to extend its life:

Avoid exposure to water for at least one hour after your appointment.

Use our Manucurist Sunshine Top Coat every 2 to 3 days to revive shine and lock in color. It's essential to apply your top coat to the free edge of the nail (the tip) to reseal the polish in the area that receives the most daily wear.

Wear gloves when cleaning and washing dishes: water is the enemy of longevity!

Apply cuticle oil or hand cream daily to nourish your nails and prevent chipping.

On healthy nails, thanks to these tips and proper maintenance, many customers find that their classic Green nail polish stays flawless for 5 to 7 days, or even longer.

Introducing Manucurist Flash, Soft Gel and Structured Gel polishes

At Free Persephone, we understand that every customer has unique nail care needs. That's why we offer a range of options, including Manucurist Flash, Soft Gel, and Structured Gel. Refinery29 explains the differences to you in detail!

Manucurist Flash

Manucurist Flash is a hybrid polish that combines the best of gel and classic polish. It's ideal for those looking for the durability and shine of gel, with a more natural feel and less effort. Flash is perfect for those who use traditional gels and want to rejuvenate their nails without the risks of over-application.

Ideal for: Natural nails that need a break or for those who prefer a lighter feel compared to full gel.

Main features: flexibility of the varnish, resistance and shine of the gel, no damage.

Directions: Take breaks between applications to maintain the health of your nails.

Soft gel

A lighter and more flexible option than textured gel. Soft gel applies like regular polish but lasts longer, making it a great compromise.

Ideal for: Clients looking for long-lasting color and increased strength without the thickness.

Main Features: Breathable, Durable, Easy to Remove.

Instructions: Change your nail polish regularly and take breaks to protect your nails.

Structured gel

As featured in Refinery29 's Structured Gel is our most powerful option, designed to strengthen or lengthen nails. Ideal for weak or brittle nails.

Ideal for: Clients who need lasting reinforcement or structure.

Key Features: Longer lasting, great for extensions, thicker than soft gel.

Directions for use: Ideal with regular breaks. Schedule touch-ups as your nails grow.

We offer The Gel Bottle and gel systems OPI , two of the most trusted brands in nail care, loved for their performance and long-lasting results.

Nail care after appointment

After-appointment care is essential to maintain beautiful, chip-free nails:

Avoid water for at least one hour after the appointment.

Wear gloves when cleaning.

Moisturize your nails daily with cuticle oil or hand cream.

Do not scratch or peel off the varnish: leave it to a professional.

Reapply the top coat every two or three days.

Be gentle: take care of your nails!

For a structured manicure, book a touch-up if necessary to keep your nails fresh.
