Manicurist Active Glow - Anyone Tried?

I am looking for clear tinted polish and they seem to have nice shades. But do they last a week and keep a glossy finish?

I’ve got the blue berry one. The finish stays shiny but even with three coats they peel and chip quicker than a normal nail varnish. I don’t get more than a few days out of it.

I have the raspberry one. Lasts for ages alone but makes an excellent base and top coat, I only do my nails every other week.

I have them in several colours and they usually stay glossy for five days or so and look ok for longer I find them much better, easier to apply and longer-lasting than Dior or Essie, which I used before. They make my nails look polished with minimal effort. Also like that they are plant-based.

they're fab, they are a treatment polish and so they also improve your nails at the same time as making them look pretty. The whole manicurist range is great. If you buy their french manicure colours they look really pretty with an active glow layer over the top.

I agree they are excellent. I have several shades of the Active Glow - raspberry, grape and blueberry and am really impressed with them. They easily last a week on my nails and I am quite heavy handed and they have improved the quality and strength of my nails.

I haven’t tried the active glow but have recently started using the standard manicurist nail polishes and am finding them amazing. I get a full week without chipping which is unheard of for me, and my nails are in lovely condition.

I'm a massive convert. I am currently using Active Plump on my nails. It's a very pale, translucent shimmery pink. I find it lasts a good five days and makes my nails look mord groomed.

I’m a fan. I’ve got the raspberry one and the one with the glitter in it. Both nice
