Active Glow Raspberry Nail Concealer Nail Polish Care

This was my second purchase of the Active Shine. Normally, I do not paint my nails however I am a great fan of Manicurist and their nail care products focusing on nail health and structural improvment in general. Their Active range includes a number of different nail make up and treatment nail polishes (2 in 1), and when i first saw them them I loved the Active Shine and had to have it. My nails are not in best of shapes, to say the least, but end up looking really nice, once I apply this polish; elegant and natural. Having used it for a while, I am more than happy with it. This is an easy to use, low-maintenance nail polish that provides a lovley pearlescent look whilst acting as a nail treatment at the same time. It is applied on prepped, bare nails and there is no need for a base or a top coat. The The colour is very subtle tone of beige/nude with a subtle, radiant silver shimmer. It has a broad, fan-shaped brush of a generous size designed to fan out across the nail bed and thus enable you to cover a nail in just one or two smooth strokes. Because Active Shine is a sheer, buildable highlighter polish with a subtle finish, the larger brush size is forgiving and reduces streaks, though very narrow nails might need a little extra care to avoid getting polish on the cuticles. It dries very quickly and offers good wear for an air-dry polish, lasting for about a week, and because the color is sheer, any minor chipping is barely noticeable. It is easily removed by standard nail polish removers. I lalso love the fact that it is a vegan product and that the formula includes AHAs which gently exfoliate the nail surface and make nail ridges appear less prominently. Though not cheap, it is not too expensive either, and in my opinion this is a quality product I can fully recommend

As I'm getting older (I'm 64), my fingernails have really changed - thicker, not as translucent somehow, some very ridged and brittle and easy to break. I've been using all sorts of oils and taking supplements with no massive change, so I tried this. For my nails, it has really worked. I transcribe (very fast typist) and craft with paper and vinyl constantly (that's what I do for a living) and I wash up by hand and always forget to wear gloves for any chores. The polish lasts for ages without chipping - in fact, the only reason I have to change it is because it grows up and looks messy at the cuticle. The matt finish looks lovely and natural and the shade is perfect. I wear it all the time now, and my nails look great. Yes, it's expensive, but absolutely worth it. I use two coats, usually, or more if I actually want to hide ridges. It is easy to apply and dries quickly. I wear the polish constantly. I've had this bottle about a month, I think, and it's maybe 1/5th down the bottle. Highly recommended. I'll definitely be buying it again when this bottle runs out.

This is quite a great product in my opinion. I bought the see through blueberry pink one to get some shine on my nails without getting them damaged. I do a lot of gardening and my nails don’t look the best. First I found the polish rather runny but got used to the right application after the first coat; I applied two coats which both dried rather quickly. They’ve been on my nails for a week now and they still look good, so I’d say they last long. I’m not super crazy about the colour, so I took one star off. Will probably try other colours in the future if I see that they are really effective on my nails.

Expensive yes, but well worth the price. First time my nails have looked good since menopause. Absolutely does what it says....

It gives a really natural, soft-focus finish not the typical “I’m wearing nail polish” look. Instead, it just makes your nails look smoother, healthier, and more even. Almost like a filter on your hands that blurs imperfections instead of covering them up. Compared to a more glossy, visible polish I’ve used before, this one is much more low-key and chic in a quiet way. That one feels like “done nails,” this feels like “your nails, just elevated.” What I noticed: -Super natural, barely noticeable as polish -Smooths ridges and makes nails look healthier instantly - Soft matte finish, very minimal and clean -Works with literally every outfit/vibe Honest bits: - Very subtle, so if you like strong colour payoff this won’t be for you - Can look a bit dry if you skip cuticle oil - Wear time is okay but not super long if you’re hands-on a lot Keep layers really thin too much product and you lose that blurred, expensive-looking effect. Overall it’s more about that effortless “clean girl” nail look than anything obvious. The kind of thing people notice but can’t quite figure out why your hands suddenly look so put together.

This is a really good product, nails feel and look healthy. A bit overpriced maybe?

I bought this thinking it would be a cloudy pink colour that would give me a foggy French manicure effect, but even after 3 coats it seems to be completely translucent on my nails with no hint of cloudiness or colour. It has a very subtle smoothing effect - my nails look bare but buffed in natural light, and there's a very slight sheen visible under electric light. I am hoping that this helps improve the condition of my nails, because otherwise it's quite expensive for little effect!

I was very keen to try this product as I do have some nail ridges. The directions say 2 coats on their own. No other products required. The nail polish went on very smoothly and dried with a pleasant matte finish. However 2 hrs later when I had cause to get my hands wet I was shocked to find that I could peel the polish off whole. Each nail coating came off perfectly intact. Water had lifted the edges of each nail. So disappointing. I wonder if today’s nail polishes are designed to be short wear? Helps the sale of more and more polish!!! Altogether a good looking polish with total lack of staying power in my experience.

Sönder

Preciso che nonostante lo smalto possa essere usate tale qual è, ho messo comunque una base e un top, sempre della linea Manucurist. Quindi, nell'ordine ho usato una passata di base, due passate di smalto e due passate di top. Asciuga molto velocemente rispetto alla media degli smalti, sono passati 11 giorni ed è ancora al suo posto. Solo le punte di pollice e indice della mano destra si sono leggermente scalfite ma sono quelle più usate. Ho rifilato con le forbicine la parte rovinata dato che nel frattempo l'unghia è leggermente cresciuta ed è come nuovo!. Il colore è molto chiaro, ma dona un effetto naturale bellissimo. L'effetto rinforzante, non so dirvi ma aggiornerò il post. Quasi sicuramente comprerò altri prodotti di questa linea,

Workes well and looks nice

Very nice nail polish, looks very healthy

Génial! Effet ongles soignés, séchage rapide, tenue extra ! Je recommande.
