Manucurist Green Flash Vitamin-Enriched Base Coat — 15 ml Gel-Style Base, 84% Bio-Based, Strengthening & 12-Day Wear

Manucurist Green Flash Vitamin-Enriched Base Coat is a patented gel-style base that strengthens nails and extends polish wear up to 12 days while delivering vitamin C and E protection.

This base coat combines a restructuring ingredient with antioxidant vitamins in a plant-forward formula made in France. Designed as the first step in the Green Flash manicure, the product creates a reinforced, better-adhering foundation under color polishes and helps reduce dehydration and oxidative stress on the nail surface. The formula is 12-free, vegan, and composed of 84% bio-based ingredients, packaged in a 15 ml bottle for salon-quality results at home.

How does this base coat strengthen fragile or peeling nails?

The Green Flash base uses a patented KeraHCE+ technology that includes hexanal to help restructure keratin fibers. By targeting the nail’s internal network, it increases density and resilience without harsh chemicals. Vitamins C and E work alongside hexanal to protect the nail from oxidation and moisture loss so the structure stays intact longer.

• Hexanal reorganizes keratin fibers to densify the nail plate.
• Vitamin C supports natural keratin production and antioxidant defense.
• Vitamin E prevents dehydration and preserves natural lipids in the nail.
• 12-free formulation avoids common harsh additives while remaining effective.

Will it really extend wear under color polishes to 12 days?

The base coat is engineered to improve adhesion between the natural nail and subsequent polish layers, which reduces chipping and lifting. When applied correctly and cured with an LED lamp, many users report significantly longer wear compared with standard non-gel bases. Results vary with nail condition, application technique, and daily activities.

• Use on clean, degreased nails for best adhesion.
• Cure under an LED lamp as directed to form a durable base layer.
• Follow with Green Flash color or compatible gel polishes for maximum longevity.
• Wear time depends on nail prep and individual wear patterns.

How do I apply the Green Flash Vitamin-Enriched Base Coat correctly?

Start with bare, prepped nails free of oils and residue—use a nail cleanser or remover to degrease. Apply one thin, even layer of the base coat, cap the free edge, and cure under an LED lamp to set. Proceed with color coats, curing each layer, then finish with a top coat for shine and extra protection.

• Prep: clean and gently push back cuticles; remove oils with Green Flash Nail Cleanser or remover.
• Apply: one thin coat, seal the free edge to prevent lift.
• Cure: use an LED lamp per lamp instructions to fully set the base.
• Finish: layer color polishes and a top coat, curing each stage for lasting results.
