Manucurist Green Flash Vitamin-Enriched Base Coat – 15 ml Gel Base, 84% Bio-Based, Up to 12 Days Wear

Manucurist Green Flash™ Vitamin-Enriched Base Coat is a patented gel-base treatment that strengthens nails and extends polish wear for up to 12 days while delivering vitamins C and E plus hexanal.

Developed in France and formulated with 84% bio-based ingredients, this base coat serves as the foundation for longer-lasting, healthier-looking manicures. Its KeraHCE+ complex combines hexanal to restructure keratin fibers with antioxidant vitamins to protect and hydrate the nail surface. Suitable for use under Green Flash polishes or conventional color lacquers, the product is vegan, 12-free, and designed to be cured under LED for a resilient finish.

How does Green Flash Base Coat improve nail strength?

The formula targets nail architecture using hexanal, a molecule that helps reorganize and reinforce keratin fibers, so nails feel denser and less prone to splitting. Vitamins C and E complement this by supporting keratin formation and aiding in moisture retention.

• Hexanal restructures the keratin network for improved density and resistance.
• Vitamin C supports natural keratin production and protects against oxidation.
• Vitamin E helps preserve natural nail lipids and reduces dehydration.

Will this base coat extend my manicure wear time?

Yes — the blending of structural and antioxidant ingredients enhances polish adhesion and surface resilience, which can result in up to 12 days of wear when applied and cured correctly. The product’s gel-like curing creates a durable foundation that resists chips and lifts.

• Cures under LED to form a strong, adhesive basal layer.
• Antioxidant shield from vitamins helps maintain polish integrity.
• Recommended as the first step in the Green Flash manicure routine for best longevity.

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

Begin with clean, dry nails and remove oils using a nail cleanser or remover; this improves adhesion. Apply a thin, even layer of base coat and cure under an LED lamp according to the lamp’s instructions before adding color.

• Prep: file, push cuticles, and degrease nails with Green Flash Nail Cleanser or remover.
• Application: one thin coat across the entire nail surface to avoid pooling.
• Curing: cure under an LED lamp to set the base and create a gel-like anchor for polish.
