Discover a new manicure ritual each day with the Time to Shine Advent Calendar, from nail preparation and colour to care and festive details. Prepare Shape nails with the Nail File, then apply the Effective Cuticle Softener and leave on for 2 minutes. Gently push back cuticles with the Steel Cuticle Pusher and lightly buff the nail surface with the Nail Prep File. Green manicure Apply the Vitamin Enriched Base Coat, followed by 1 to 2 coats of your chosen Green colour. Correct any edges with the Corrector Pen, then finish with Top Coat. Apply Drying Drops to each nail to help speed up drying while nourishing the nail contours. Active care polishes Apply directly to bare nails without base or top coat and allow to air dry. Wear individually or layer Active Glow Grape, Active Plump Aqua Glazed and Active Shine Icy to create your own finish. Festive details Add Gold Glitter over your chosen Green or Active shade for a touch of sparkle. Use the Manicure Stamper to create a clean French tip, then seal with Top Coat once dry. Nail and hand care Apply Keratin Booster to bare nails 1 to 3 times a day and allow it to absorb. Massage a drop of Green Oil into nails and surrounding skin whenever extra nourishment is needed. Finish with the Rose Scented Hand Cream as often as desired.

After a career in luxury fashion, Gaëlle took over the family business and set out to create high-performing alternatives to traditional nail products — easier to use, kinder to nails and more considered in their formulation.

ABOUT THE BRAND
MANUCURIST
Manucurist is a Paris-born nail colour and care brand rethinking the modern manicure through cleaner formulas, professional expertise and a distinctly French sense of colour.
Its story began in 1996, when Gaëlle Lebrat Personnaz’s mother opened the first Manucurist nail salon in Paris. After a career in luxury fashion, Gaëlle took over the family business and set out to create high-performing alternatives to traditional nail products — easier to use, kinder to nails and more considered in their formulation.
Manucurist approaches nail colour as both beauty and care. Drawing on professional salon expertise, the brand develops routines inspired by skincare — designed not only to colour the nails, but also to strengthen, hydrate and protect them. Innovation is guided by a simple goal: to make manicure rituals more effective, desirable and accessible without compromising nail health
Manucurist formulates with a high proportion of bio-sourced ingredients derived from renewable plant materials such as corn, wheat, cotton, cassava, sugar cane and potatoes. The brand excludes a defined list of controversial substances, particularly those derived from petrochemicals, and all ranges are certified vegan by The Vegan Society. Products are cruelty-free, and the brand continues to replace conventional ingredients with plant-based alternatives wherever possible.
Manucurist’s nail care products and polishes are made in France, with an emphasis on short supply chains and local suppliers. The brand also works with an ESAT supported-employment organisation for packaging and assembly, extending its environmental and social commitments beyond formulation to the wider production process.
