Manucurist Nail Degreaser — 1 fl oz bio-sourced 94.5% nail prep for longer-lasting polish, fast-drying floral scent

Manucurist Nail Degreaser (Nail Prep) is a bio-sourced nail cleaner that removes oils and impurities so polish adheres better and lasts longer.

Designed as the first step in Manucurist’s Green System, this floral-scented degreaser uses 94.5% plant-based ingredients to achieve a clean, residue-free nail surface in one quick swipe. It’s formulated to boost adhesion for Green™ polishes and can also tidy brushes and tools between uses. Compact and fast-drying, the 1 fl oz bottle fits easily into at-home manicures and professional prep stations alike.

How does Nail Prep improve polish wear?

Nail Prep removes surface oils and microscopic debris that can prevent polish from bonding to the nail plate. By starting with a dry, clean surface, each coat of color adheres more evenly, which reduces early chipping and extends wear time. It’s especially effective when used immediately before base and color application.

• Eliminates oils and impurities for stronger polish grip
• Prepares natural nails for longer-lasting finish
• Works specifically with Manucurist Green™ formulas for optimized results

What is in the formula and is it gentle?

The formula contains 94.5% plant-derived ingredients and a light floral scent, balancing performance with sensorial appeal. It’s designed for effective degreasing without overly drying the nail when used as directed. The product complements Manucurist’s Green Care approach but is not a treatment product—its role is surface preparation.

• 94.5% bio-sourced ingredients
• Floral fragrance for a pleasant prep routine
• Non-treatment cleaner focused on surface adhesion

How should I use the degreaser for best results?

Use Nail Prep as the very first step of your manicure. Soak a cotton pad, wipe each nail thoroughly, and let the nail air for a few seconds before applying base or color. You can also clean manicure brushes and tools by wiping them with a soaked pad to remove polish residues.

• Step 1: Pour onto a cotton pad
• Step 2: Wipe nails until surface is visibly clean
• Step 3: Apply base coat and Manucurist Green™ polish
• Bonus: Use to clean brushes and tools between colors

Will Nail Prep work with other nail systems or just Manucurist?

Nail Prep is formulated to improve adhesion for most traditional and long-wear nail lacquers, but it’s optimized for Manucurist Green™ polishes. It functions as a universal degreaser—removing oil and debris—so it can be a helpful step regardless of brand, though pairing with the Green System yields the most consistent Green™ results.

• Compatible with many lacquer and long-wear systems
• Best results when used with Manucurist Green™ range
• Useful for both home and salon prep routines

Who is this for? Nail Prep is ideal for anyone who wants a cleaner, longer-lasting manicure—from home users doing occasional polishes to technicians preparing clients. It’s suited to people seeking cleaner, plant-forward products and those who use Manucurist Green™ polishes, but also benefits anyone aiming for better polish adhesion and cleaner tools. Made in France, the compact 1 fl oz bottle is travel-friendly and easy to store in any nail kit.
