Manucurist Active Glow Raspberry Nail Polish & Care - Ultra-Glowy 2 in 1 Nail Concealer & Care - Plant-Based Ingredients: Sweet Almond Oil, Raspberry - Vegan & Made in France | Bio-Sourcé Nail Polish Sweet Almond and Raspberry Nourishing & Shiny Transparent Varnish Gloss Effect Pink Varnish

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 used to love to do my own manicures and had at least 30 different polishes, base coats, and top coats. I no longer have the time and energy to keep my nails looking professional; I also like to be able to see under my nail bed since nail health and color are health indicators This lightweight Manicurist polish is so easy to use, dries quickly (since I only need to apply a single coat!), and lasts for one to two weeks, even for relatively active hands. My nails can still breathe and feel strong and healthy. No pictures since the other pictures posted on the reviews pretty much cover it — for a single coat, it’s natural looking, with a hint of color.

Manucurist has totally saved my natural nails! I went to the salon for acrylics for years but got tired of the process and wanted to try something at home. I started using Manucurist's Active Blur and Active Glow polishes together about two months ago, and they have completely revamped the look of my natural nails. No more ridges!! I typically have problems with regular polish staying on my nails without chipping, but these polishes have lasted about a week on my nails before I feel like I need to redo them. It seems a little expensive up front, but when I compare it to what I was spending at the salon I'm saving so much money, and the bottles have lasted well! Truly cannot recommend this enough for someone looking for a good quality at-home nail system. Can't wait to purchase more colors!

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.

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!!

My nails are thin, peel, split, so stay short. Years of acrylics and lately gels have done that. I wanted something they gave a tint to make them look healthy and shiny, but still have some color to make them look healthy. Also, I’m horrible at giving myself manicures. You can always tell I did it. Two coats of this polish did exactly what I wanted. My nails look healthy, and pinkish shiny, and I can’t see any problems along the edges. These two coats have been on five days now and there’s not a single chip along the edge either. And because there’s no need for base or top coats, it was fast and easy.. I get a monthly manicure, but with normal polish it usually only lasts maybe five days. So this will be my follow up afterI remove that polish. I’m hoping it’ll be a strengthener as well..

Love the way polish goes on and am able to do it myself. Liked the color but could be a little darker. Liked the plant based which is better for 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

Impeccable, selon l’effet que vous désirez, mettre 2 à 3 couches, j’adore fait effet soigner et vacances 👌👍👏🤩

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.
