Manucurist Active Glow Raspberry Nail Concealer Nail Polish Care

Dries fast and nice matte texture. Goes on smoothly. Love the color. Looks like my natural nails (but better). Also long-lasting...almost two weeks....which has helped my nails grow without breaking or peeling. Best natural polish I've tried so far.

I absolutely love this specific active plump. If you're like me and you fell in love with manicures for helping you to finally grow the beautiful nails that you've been paying to have fake put on, it gives you that little bit of shame when you put one coat so when the light hits it it's got that iridescentness to it but it's lighter than a Milky so that you still see the beauty of your natural nails and even with two coats you still see your natural nail but it just gives a little more of that Sheen I love it and these manicurous nail polishes really do last seven to 12 days without shipping and they're so good for your nails. Take it from someone who did acrylic nails every other week for two and a half years this system the one that specifically comes with the SOS base and the nail mask and some other things with it it's a set that's what I started with it comes with the little hair and nail pills with it also. And it built my nails up made them nice and strong and healthy and after 2 or 3 months of using that system I've been able to incorporate nail polishes and I use the ones that are just basic nail polishes they don't need a LED light or anything and they absolutely have made my nails so healthy I get compliments all the time. It's really doesn't have a fragrance to it so it's not really paint smelling or anything. The texture is real thin but not watery it goes on real smooth and nice and beautiful even without putting a clear coat on top it's gorgeous! You'll never regret buying anything from the manicurist nail polish collections. I'm looking into the gel ones to put on my toenails.

Love this nail polish! Feels good on my nails. Hasn’t caused any damage after several weeks of wear. Comes off easily and the color (Shine) is very pretty and subtle. The polish dries very quickly and seems “set” with in an hour. For me it lasts about 5 days before I start seeing chips which is a lot longer than regular nail polish, which seems to chip after a day or two. (Also I don’t think you really notice the wear because the color somehow makes it blend in.) I’ve been applying one coat, then once there is some wear showing, I’ll add a second coat and that keeps my nails looking great for much longer. The color is buildable- one coat is more sheer, looks great, and each additional layer also looks fabulous! I’ve experimented with up to 3 coats just to see how it looks. I’m sold and will be ordering other colors soon!

Update 9/14/25: The company saw my review (which is still relevant so I will leave it) and fully refunded my money without me even having to ask. At the very least I can say if you are unsatisfied with the purchase the polish comes with great customer service. This changed my rating from 2 stars to 3. Lots of people seem to have luck with this polish so perhaps it is just incompatible with certain types of nails🤷🏻‍♀️ Original review: I really wanted this to be a beneficial and healthy polish for my nails. It made my nails look so healthy and glowing! It’s super easy to apply, dries within minutes and because it’s not deeply colored you can’t notice if your polish is wearing off a bit. It creates a glow that mimics healthy nail color that I can’t achieve with any other product. This checked all possible boxes for me in terms of appearance directly after applying. I thought I had found my new daily polish and I was so excited. But then….. A week into using this my nails broke off. Multiple nails broke all in the same week. My thumb nail even peeled layers off down into the quick. My nails are now weak and cut as short as possible to try to hide the damage. I thought paying more I would get a product that actually helped my nails grow or at the very least didn’t damage them….but I might as well have bought a bottle of wet n’ wild and applied that because the outcome seems the same….my nails which were all evenly grown out and relatively healthy are now peeling and weak. My thumb nail is going to take at least 3 weeks to grow out to the point where the damage can be clipped off. Perhaps it was something else? Either way this polish did nothing to protect my nails if something else was the culprit. People seem to have good luck with this product and it does look amazing when first applied but from my point of view my nails were relatively healthy, I used this and within a week they were broken and peeling. I’m not going to risk damaging them further and may return the item if I’m able to do that. I just can’t risk it. I read another review where a person stated the same thing but the majority of the reviews were glowing and I thought maybe it was a fluke. But the same thing happened to me. Each person is different and we all have different nails but for me this seemed to do the exact opposite of what it advertises it does. It did not strengthen or protect them, if anything it made them weaker and more brittle and prone to breaking and peeling. I’m so bummed because the polish looks so amazing on nicely manicured nails. I’ve used similar products but nothing ever made my nails look as healthy as this polish did AT FIRST. My nails are ruined and they will grow back out but I’m extremely disappointed in the product. I gave two stars because the polish looked so amazing when first applied. I would otherwise give 1 star.

First of all,his product absolutely needs a top coat. It's unfair for them to claim that it's an "All in one". It smudged FOUR HOURS after application. This product will require more than ample drying time if it is used alone. Now that's out of the way, This is a beautiful "glow" style tinted nail strengthener. It applies very smoothly and creates an even surface. It does not require a base coat. The Blueberry shade is a nice dupe for Dior if you want to pay around half the price. The bottle is adorable and reminds me of a retro product crossed with something from a chic French shop. Its the prettiest shade of pink potion. The brush is above average but not as nice as Essie or Londontown. Based on this,my second polish from Manicurist, I would absolutely buy the other shades in the Active Glow line.

It is hard for me to find translucent colors that are not too flashy and bright, but this checks all boxes. It has been a little over a month that I have been using this and it lasts 2 weeks without it chipping, also my nails feel alot stronger and not one nail has chipped since using this. I got color blueberry, if I had gone lighter I may have not liked it as much, since my sole purpose for this was a light clear coat but also with a hint of color. You protect your nails from harsh water, whilst conditioning your nails and making them look well maintained. Only down side is the shipping takes awhile but at the end of the day it is still worth it. After this purchase I bought a couple other things from this brand since I loved it so much.

This is 2 coats of Active Glow Raspberry and one coat of Active Bright on top and it’s EXACTLY the color/shine/sheerness I was going for! Not to mention, I JUST took my acrylic nails off a couple of days ago and have damaged/white spots/unevenness all over my natural nails from removal, you can’t even tell how bad it is underneath these 3 coats together! It’s amazing how sheer these polishes are, yet still SO covering at the same time! Pricey, but WORTH EVERY PENNY! Dries super quickly too and doesn’t chip like normal polish, just kinda fades out over time. Will end up saving money not needing manicures as often, so in love! BUY!!

I purchased the Active Blur (Powder Pink) a few weeks ago and love it! My nails have become really strong in the last several months due to new vitamins and Omega 3 supplements and so they’ve just quickly grown out to a perfect length that look like acrylics with the right polish- Active Blur (Powder Pink) looked great, kind of a sheer but white tint overall and definitely blurred imperfections. So I decided to purchase a color from this brand- Active Glow (Cranberry). It arrived today, I was excited to try it and immediately put it to the test but was fairly disappointed. The result look like I dipped my hands in Kool-aid and left my natural tips looking yellow as the polish is fairly sheer. The yellowing of the tips is my main complaint. If I had short nails I think this would be a nice color. But doesn’t seem like a color I can use right now with longer nails. So definitely a waste of money as this polish is not cheap. Will keep it around to use in the future when I have shorter nails again. But beware that it does not look good on longer nails.

Barely any coverage. The pictures promoting it gives you the completely wrong impression. After 2 coats you see some shine and hints of sparkle. Not fast drying at all. I took the pictures 20 minutes after applying. Such a waste of money 😞

Workes well and looks nice

perfekter nagellack für mich. der lack ist extrem dezent und hat ein seidenmattes Finish. mit einer Schicht sehen meine Nägel einfach nur sehr gepflegt aus, wenn man nicht weiss dass sie lackiert sind würde man denken es wäre Natur. eine zweite Schicht ist dann als lackiert deutlicher erkennbar, sieht aber trotzdem noch extrem natürlich und einfach elegant aus. Die Haltbarkeit ist für mich völlig ausreichend, hält bei mir an den Händen ca. eine Woche.

Very nice nail polish, looks very healthy
