Nail polishes that sparkle
In Green™ nail polish or Green Flash™ gel nail polish, glitter makes its way into every shade in the Manucurist palette. Here is a selection of irresistible shades:
Pastel glitter polishes
Pastel glitter adds just the right amount of light. It’s the perfect ally for lovers of glitter nails with a delicate finish.
Lemonade is a delicately frosted yellow nail polish, lit up with micro-glitter, reminiscent of a fresh lemonade shimmering in a ray of sunshine on a terrace. The perfect shade for sunny days.
Cosmic Rose, meanwhile, embraces a shimmery iridescent champagne pink with a soft, pearlescent texture. A shade as fresh as a glass of sparkling rosé raised on a festive day. Try it and you’ll love it.
Inspired by a retro-futuristic sky with seventies accents, Nebula is a holographic milky white that creates an iridescent milky veil on the nails. Shot through with a thousand shifting reflections, it’s fascinating!
For delicate, nuanced reflections, opt for pastel glitter polishes.

Warm glitter polishes
When summer is in full swing, it’s time for sun-kissed reflections with glitter nail polishes in golden and copper tones, for an elegant, stylish manicure, whether at the beach or on a terrace.
A must-have this season: Solar, a beautiful translucent white with golden reflections, as if sprinkled with sunlit sparkles. It catches the light and instantly warms every skin tone.
Gold right to your fingertips with Gold. This glittery gold, like liquid jewellery, glides onto the nail and catches every ray of light—and every eye!
In the same spirit: Bronzé, this shimmery brown enhanced with copper flecks, like skin gilded by the summer sun.
When golden tones rhyme with a stylish manicure.
Cool glitter nail polishes
Fans of silver reflections will love these shades with icy, electric accents.
Starting with Disco, which fully embraces its sparkling DNA with metallic reflections. This radiant silver, dense and as glittering as a disco ball, was designed to make your nights come alive and catch every flash of light on the dance floor. Let’s party!
Mermaid is this shimmering sheer nail polish with shifting reflections, like a glistening water surface revealing iridescent flashes with every movement, somewhere between liquid shine and underwater magic. Dive right in!
Finally, you can’t miss Groove, a distinctive pearlescent green that brings a soft botanical energy to your fingertips. Sensual and delicately vintage, it invites you to groove to the bossa nova rhythms of the sixties.
Cool glitter nail polishes that aren’t so cool after all, perfect for shining on the dancefloor.
Add glitter to your favourite polishes
Want to elevate your favourite nail polish colour in seconds? The new glitter Top Coats Green™ and Green Flash™ are here for that.
Transparent top coats infused with silver OR gold glittering agents (your choice), they add a sparkling touch to any nail polish colour. In a single stroke, a nude polish becomes iridescent, a cherry-red polish takes on a jewel-like effect and a black polish starts to sparkle.
No need to layer on products to personalise your manicure. With just one top coat, you can modernise a classic shade, create an ultra-trendy luminous effect or give your nail art a festive dimension. We love the magic touch of these top coats!
Add glitter to your nail art
How do you apply nail art glitter?
Creating crisp, dazzling glitter nail art has never been easier! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced nail artist, here’s how to make your nails sparkle:
- Apply your nail polish using the 4-coat rule: always start with one coat of base coat (Green™ or Green Flash™), followed by two coats of colour. If you use Green Flash™ gel polish, cure each coat under an LED lamp for flawless wear and incomparable shine.
- Add a touch of magic: apply the Manucurist biodegradable glitter (12 shades to choose from) with a brush for more precision or directly with your finger for a more “spontaneous” effect. Gently distribute it in a gradient or as an even pearlescent surface, depending on the desired result.
- Seal in the glitter: set the nail art by applying a layer of top coat suited to the polish used.
👉 On Green™ nail polish, apply a coat of gel-effect Green™ Top Coat that air-dries in 1 minute with Drying Drops.
👉 On Green Flash™ LED polish, choose from:
- one coat of Top Coat Green Flash™ to cure under an LED lamp for a manicure that lasts up to 12 days.
- For a long-lasting glitter manicure (up to 21 days), opt for Top Coat Xtrem Flash™, to cure under an LED lamp.
