At-home Manicures.. like a Pro?

Over the past few years — helped along by the Covid crisis and lockdowns — colour lovers and fans of perfect nails have rediscovered the joy of at-home manicures, thanks to ready-to-use complete kits containing everything they need, from nail prep to applying colour or gel polish.

For devotees and beginners alike, the advantages are endless: spending less and, above all, saving time! Yet the DIY manicure boom still leaves some gel polish and nail art fans doubting the quality of the finish or their mastery of the techniques.

An expert in nail color and nail care, Manucurist is also a brand born in the professional world. So when it comes to finish and quality, we know our stuff! 💅🏼 Ahead of the curve since 2019 with the launch of the Green Flash innovation—the 1st LED polish that's as easy to flash as it is to remove—the brand has always aimed to bring salon quality home with a range of clean, green, and easy-to-use products.
For anyone still unsure or hesitating to jump in, here is a quick overview of the perks of at-home manicures by Manucurist and our tips for making the most of their potential and fun!

Book an appointment… with yourself!

One of the main perks of an at-home manicure is setting your own pace. Night owl? Early bird? Lunch-break heroine? No problem!
Zero constraints—no need to fit into a salon or spa's opening hours and availability. You can also pick the spot that suits you best and set your own vibe for your manicure ritual. More into nail care and cozy pampering? Light your favorite candle, choose your playlist, and take time to enjoy. More of a Nail Art Party with friends? Turn the volume up, unleash your creativity, and enjoy the party!

Save money…

Some salon treatments come with a price tag that isn't within everyone's budget. And then there's the return visit for removal, which adds to the cost if you've chosen gel polish.
These days, with everyone looking to make their budget go further, investing in an at-home manicure kit can really pay off without sacrificing quality — provided you choose the right products.
With Manucurist gel polish kits, you can't go wrong. They contain everything you need for your manicure routine — lamp included — and even the most expensive kit pays for itself in 2 or 3 uses, with endless personalised manicures to come!

Save time and remove your polish yourself!

Saving money is great; saving time is even better. With Manucurist kits, you can set your own schedule and, best of all, remove your polish at home without damaging your nails, even if you choose a long-lasting polish. Thanks to Green Flash innovation — the clean alternative to gel polish — there's no need for salon appointments for acetone removal and excessive nail filing. Removal is gentle and takes just 1 minute flat with a gentle remover. You can change colour in a flash without damaging your nails!

Stay in control

And that means… you're in control. Not happy with the result? No need to wait for a salon removal appointment. Now you can change colour easily, without the guilt.

It goes on easily in thin coats (like nail polish), cures instantly under an LED lamp (like gel polish), lasts up to 10 days and, best of all, comes off in 1 minute with a gentle acetone-free remover that won't damage your nails. So you can play with colour without worrying about your budget or your health!
