Long lasting, stronger & pretty nail polish!
I LOVE this nail polish! It lasts very long; longer than any other nail polish I’ve ever used. Normally other nail polish lasts about a week, but 3 coats has lasted more than 3 weeks now. And the nail polish doesn’t flake off or chip. This color also is true to description in that it looks exactly how they describe it - very pretty color. My nails are also stronger, as well. Even though the price seems a little expensive, it is definitely worth it!

Absolutely love the aqua active plump!
I absolutely love this specific active plump. If you're like me and you fell in love with manicures for helping you to finally grow the beautiful nails that you've been paying to have fake put on, it gives you that little bit of shame when you put one coat so when the light hits it it's got that iridescentness to it but it's lighter than a Milky so that you still see the beauty of your natural nails and even with two coats you still see your natural nail but it just gives a little more of that Sheen I love it and these manicurous nail polishes really do last seven to 12 days without shipping and they're so good for your nails. Take it from someone who did acrylic nails every other week for two and a half years this system the one that specifically comes with the SOS base and the nail mask and some other things with it it's a set that's what I started with it comes with the little hair and nail pills with it also. And it built my nails up made them nice and strong and healthy and after 2 or 3 months of using that system I've been able to incorporate nail polishes and I use the ones that are just basic nail polishes they don't need a LED light or anything and they absolutely have made my nails so healthy I get compliments all the time. It's really doesn't have a fragrance to it so it's not really paint smelling or anything. The texture is real thin but not watery it goes on real smooth and nice and beautiful even without putting a clear coat on top it's gorgeous! You'll never regret buying anything from the manicurist nail polish collections. I'm looking into the gel ones to put on my toenails.

I think it made my nails worse but the company refunded in full
Update 9/14/25: The company saw my review (which is still relevant so I will leave it) and fully refunded my money without me even having to ask. At the very least I can say if you are unsatisfied with the purchase the polish comes with great customer service. This changed my rating from 2 stars to 3. Lots of people seem to have luck with this polish so perhaps it is just incompatible with certain types of nails🤷🏻♀️ Original review: I really wanted this to be a beneficial and healthy polish for my nails. It made my nails look so healthy and glowing! It’s super easy to apply, dries within minutes and because it’s not deeply colored you can’t notice if your polish is wearing off a bit. It creates a glow that mimics healthy nail color that I can’t achieve with any other product. This checked all possible boxes for me in terms of appearance directly after applying. I thought I had found my new daily polish and I was so excited. But then….. A week into using this my nails broke off. Multiple nails broke all in the same week. My thumb nail even peeled layers off down into the quick. My nails are now weak and cut as short as possible to try to hide the damage. I thought paying more I would get a product that actually helped my nails grow or at the very least didn’t damage them….but I might as well have bought a bottle of wet n’ wild and applied that because the outcome seems the same….my nails which were all evenly grown out and relatively healthy are now peeling and weak. My thumb nail is going to take at least 3 weeks to grow out to the point where the damage can be clipped off. Perhaps it was something else? Either way this polish did nothing to protect my nails if something else was the culprit. People seem to have good luck with this product and it does look amazing when first applied but from my point of view my nails were relatively healthy, I used this and within a week they were broken and peeling. I’m not going to risk damaging them further and may return the item if I’m able to do that. I just can’t risk it. I read another review where a person stated the same thing but the majority of the reviews were glowing and I thought maybe it was a fluke. But the same thing happened to me. Each person is different and we all have different nails but for me this seemed to do the exact opposite of what it advertises it does. It did not strengthen or protect them, if anything it made them weaker and more brittle and prone to breaking and peeling. I’m so bummed because the polish looks so amazing on nicely manicured nails. I’ve used similar products but nothing ever made my nails look as healthy as this polish did AT FIRST. My nails are ruined and they will grow back out but I’m extremely disappointed in the product. I gave two stars because the polish looked so amazing when first applied. I would otherwise give 1 star.

Great for Nail Health, But Pricey
I've been using this Active Glow Blueberry polish for a few weeks now and I'm genuinely impressed with how it's helped strengthen my nails. As someone who struggles with weak, brittle nails, I noticed a real difference in how sturdy they feel after regular use. The formula lives up to its claims - my nails do look healthier and have a lovely natural glow even without the polish on. I appreciate that it's vegan and made with plant-based ingredients, which was important to me when choosing a nail care product. The blueberry shade is beautiful - a perfect rosy pink that's flattering and professional-looking. Application is smooth and it wears reasonably well for a treatment polish. However, I have to dock a star for the price point. At this cost, it's definitely a splurge item rather than an everyday purchase. While the nail-strengthening benefits are real, there are more budget-friendly options that might deliver similar results. Bottom line: if you're looking for a treatment polish that actually works and don't mind paying premium prices for clean ingredients and French quality, this is worth trying. Just be prepared for sticker shock! Would I repurchase? Probably, but I'd wait for a sale.

Excellent product!
This product is easy to apply - the brush provides smooth coverage. It dries very quickly. And the raspberry color is faint so I put on 3 coats in a very short time. It looks very pretty. Sure, $20 is pretty steep price, but to me it is worth it!

Deserves 10 Stars
This polish is amazing. I've been trying to heal, strengthen and grow my natural nails after years of acrylic and press ons. My nails are damaged and they look awful. I was about to give up and go to the nail salon when I saw an ad for this. I ordered Blueberry and it's a light pink with kind of a bluish undertone after a few coats. I find that 3 coats gives me the coverage I need and 4 gives me the perfect color. It also makes my nails hard, the tips feel so strong with this on. I wear it for a week and then redo them. It comes off with a swipe of nail polish on a cotton ball. I may just use this forever, because I really love how they look.

Does make nails healthier! <3
I purchased the Glow in Grape. This is how my nails look after almost 2 weeks with no touch ups! I will say, I had the ugliest damaged nails after I stopped getting gel manicures at the salon, I was embarrassed to show my bare nails and would cover them w deeper colors. One night I did not have time to do my nails and just applied 2 coats of this Manucurist Glow polish. I could still see through the nail damage, the ugly white spots, but it was getting late and figured it was good enough. I was not happy with the way the nails dried up and thought to myself I would remove the polish as soon as I had the chance.. well here I am almost 2 weeks later and my nails look sooo much healthier!! I can barely see my nail damage. The polish has come off a bit from the ends but it's not that noticeable, I actually like how it's wearing off. Now I am looking to purchase my next Glow shade :-)

Does Not Look Good On Longer Natural Nails
I purchased the Active Blur (Powder Pink) a few weeks ago and love it! My nails have become really strong in the last several months due to new vitamins and Omega 3 supplements and so they’ve just quickly grown out to a perfect length that look like acrylics with the right polish- Active Blur (Powder Pink) looked great, kind of a sheer but white tint overall and definitely blurred imperfections. So I decided to purchase a color from this brand- Active Glow (Cranberry). It arrived today, I was excited to try it and immediately put it to the test but was fairly disappointed. The result look like I dipped my hands in Kool-aid and left my natural tips looking yellow as the polish is fairly sheer. The yellowing of the tips is my main complaint. If I had short nails I think this would be a nice color. But doesn’t seem like a color I can use right now with longer nails. So definitely a waste of money as this polish is not cheap. Will keep it around to use in the future when I have shorter nails again. But beware that it does not look good on longer nails.

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

Blueberry bellissimo, lucido ed elegante!
Erano alcuni anni che cercavo uno smalto traslucido, finalmente l’ho trovato! Dopo aver consultato numerose foto e video di chi li aveva già provati, ho scelto la tonalità Blueberry. Difficile renderla in foto, anche perchè cambia in base alla luce, ma si tratta di una tonalità rosata con una punta di violetto/fucsia. Ora, leggendo le recensioni temo che alcuni non abbiano capito di cosa si tratta, questo è uno smalto traslucido modulabile. Quindi non si tratta di uno smalto dal colore coprente e intenso come gli smalti comuni, bensì di uno smalto trasparente che dona però una luce colorata. Luce colorata di cui potete modularne l’intensitá in base al numero di strati, na resterà sempre semi-trasparente e lucido! Io ero molto curiosa di vedere i vari effetti e sono arrivata a 3 strati, ma era bello anche solo con 2. Considerate che l’ho messo velocemente senza molte attenzioni, eppure vi assicuro che si stende facilmente e si uniforma bene. Inoltre si asciuga anche velocemente. Il risultato inizialmente potrebbe sembrare strano perchè non siamo abituati a questo tipo di smalto, ma ci ho fatto l’occhio praticamente subito e mi piace tantissimo! Ora lo indosso da 4 giorni, ed è ancora lucido, senza scheggiature. Le mani assumono subito un aspetto più curato ed elegante, pur rimanendo in qualche modo abbastanza naturali. Lo consiglio vivamente a chi desidera uno smalto facile da stendere e che non risulti troppo invadente, ma che dia comunque subito un aspetto più curato. Mi dispiace che non è stato possibile caricare il video, ma spero di aver reso l’idea con le foto. Ricordate, è traslucido modulabile, no coprente! Proverò sicuramente altro di questo brand.
