Manucurist nail polish: believe the hype

Manucurist nail polish: believe the hype

Have heard of Manucurist? They are an ethical, sustainable brand of nail polish and accessories made in France, female founded.

Manucurist is dedicated to offering clean, green and innovative products that support healthy hands and a happy planet … not just on Earth Day but everyday

What I like is that all their formulas follow a strict black list that excludes toxic, sensitizing, petroleum-based or otherwise harmful ingredients and never use animal products or ingredients in their formulation, production, or manufacturing of their products.

They are cruelty-free and never tested on animals. This means from start to finish: final formulations and all individual ingredients and work with ESAT (a French organization) who help Manucurist find suppliers with aligning values, and assure constant improvements to environmental and social commitments along the value chain.

Ingredients

They strive for the cleanest, safest formulas possible and always look to replace toxic or sensitizing chemicals with plant-based options wherever possible. All of Manucurist products are vegan, cruelty-free and up to 99% plant-based:

  • Sugarcane
    Ethyl acetate,sourced from sugarcane, is used as a major component for the base of our polishes
  • Corn
    Acetyl tributyl citrate, sourced from corn, increases polish shine and smoothness.
  • Yuca
    Butyl acetate, sourced from yuca, gives the polish fluidity and allows for easy application
  • Cotton
    Nitrocellulose, sourced from cotton, is a film former and dispersing agent that creates a smooth even finish to the polish

More sustainable credientials in their packaging and compostable nail art options too, as highlighted on their site.

Nail colours for days

Many colourful nail varnish bottles

So their credentials are excellent but.. how are their products?

I am basically addicted. They are smooth, easy to apply and they stay chip free for days, way better than other brands I have tried in the past (Nails Inc, or Essie).

Their colour selection is absolutely incredible! From classic shared of red and burgundy to metallic and odd colours (army green, sparkly grey).

I have now a decent collection of variations as well as accessories such as nail varnish remover, nail nourishing oil and base and top coat.

I could not recommend Manucurist more! And here is £20 off if you wish to purchase and try.
