Cassava, corn, potatoes, sugarcane and cotton provide the raw materials used by Manucurist to develop the Green formula. Depending on the shade, up to 84 per cent of the ingredients are plant-based. The polishes are certified vegan by the Vegan Society, and the brand carries PETA's "Beauty Without Bunnies" seal. Made in France.

Green provides bold pigment, intense shine and air-dries without the need for a UV lamp.

For maximum longevity, use the full system: start with the Green Base Coat, followed by two thin layers of colour and finish with the Green Top Coat. According to the manufacturer, this ensures the manicure lasts up to seven days. To remove, use the gentle Green Nail Polish Remover by Manucurist.

Step 1: The Base Coat - Apply the Green Base Coat up to the nail edges and let it dry.
Step 2: The colour - Apply your favourite Green colour lacquer up to the nail edges and let dry. Repeat step 2 to create two thin coats of colour.
Step 3: The Top Coat - Apply the Green Top Coat up to the nail edges and let it dry.

And how do you remove the nail polish? Use the Green Nail Polish Remover with Sweet Almond Oil to moisturise your nails following nail polish removal.
