Manucurist Green Quick Dry Nail Polish Hortencia — Sheer Pale Pink, Plant-Based Vegan

Manucurist Green Quick Dry Nail Polish in Hortencia is a sheer, pale light-pink, plant-based and vegan polish formulated in France for a non-toxic, glossy finish that dries quickly without a lamp.

Hortencia belongs to Manucurist's Green range: a clean-beauty collection made with up to 84% bio-sourced ingredients (potato, corn, manioc or cotton) that skips many harmful chemicals while delivering a salon-style look. This lightweight sheer pink offers natural-looking coverage and is crafted for easy application, fast air-dry performance, and straightforward removal with gentle solvents.

How sheer is Hortencia and what look does it create?

Hortencia provides a soft, translucent pale pink that enhances the natural nail rather than completely masking it. Its non-iridescent finish reads as subtle and elegant, ideal for minimalist manicures, bridal looks, or everyday polished nails.

• Sheer coverage with buildable layers for more opacity
• Natural, pale pink tone that complements most skin tones
• Non-iridescent, glossy finish for a classic sheen

How easy is it to apply and dry?

Application mirrors a traditional polish experience thanks to a professional-quality brush that spreads color evenly without streaking. The formula is quick-dry and designed to air-dry naturally, so you don’t need a UV/LED lamp—helpful for at-home manicures or quick touch-ups.

• Wide, flat brush for smooth, streak-free strokes
• Fast air-dry formula—no lamp required
• Compatible with Manucurist Green Base Coat and Top Coat for longer wear

What makes it "Green" and safer than conventional polishes?

Manucurist Green polishes use up to 84% plant-based raw materials and a 9-free (formulation free of common harmful ingredients) approach to minimize exposure to harsh chemicals. The range is vegan, cruelty-free, and designed to perform like traditional nail lacquer while reducing environmental and ingredient concerns.

• Up to 84% bio-sourced ingredients from plant origins
• Vegan and cruelty-free manufacturing made in France
• Removes with a gentle solvent like Dissolving Water Green for kinder removal

How long does Hortencia last and how should it be removed?

Wearing time will vary with individual nail prep and activity, but pairing Hortencia with Manucurist’s Green Base Coat and Top Coat helps extend wear and maintain shine. For removal, use a gentle solvent formulated for the Green range to lift color without aggressive rubbing or harsh acetone.

• Improved longevity when used with matching base and top coats
• Removes cleanly with Manucurist Dissolving Water Green or similar gentle remover
• Avoid prolonged soaking; pat nails dry after removal

Who is this for? Hortencia is suited to anyone seeking a clean-beauty manicure: people who prefer plant-based, vegan cosmetics; those who want a subtle, natural pink; and users who appreciate a quick-dry polish that works without a lamp. It’s especially useful for everyday wear, professional settings where a refined look is preferred, and first-time polish users who want an easy, non-intimidating application. Made in France, Manucurist Green Hortencia blends conscious ingredients with familiar polish performance for a modern, gentler manicure option.
