WHY YOU NEED IT

A strengthening polish with a soft, subtle glint of shimmer. Like a highlighter for your nails.

WHY I LOVE IT

I've never used a polish that makes my nails feel stronger, or more impervious to chipping and peeling than the polishes from Manucurist. And while clear nail polish is fine, I like a clean nail with a little something. This polish is in heavy rotation in my life. It's a "clean girl aesthetic" with a little pizazz, more starlight than glitter. The very subtle pink undertone of the polish makes nails look fresh and healthy and the soft shimmer makes them gleam like a gem.

More than just a polish, the products in the Active Range work to restore and strengthen your nails. Enriched with a blend strengthening hexanal, hydrating and resurfacing glycolic acid and antioxidant-rich beet extract, the formula not only repairs, but revitalizes nails as well. It's truly a nail polish you can feel good about using.

ADDITIONAL INFO

Hexanal for deep hardening and repair benefits

PRO TIP

Apply one coat for a very natural look or two coats for a stronger shimmer.

Layer with other polishes from the Active Range for a bespoke nail:

Active Smooth under Active Shine creates a more opaque nail.
Adding a layer of Active Bright either under or on top gives the nail a subtle opal sheen.
Using Active Blueberry or Active Raspberry under or over creates a subtle rosy tone that pairs beautifully with the twinkle in the Active Shine.
Layer two or even three polishes, all of the combinations look incredible.
