Manucurist Golden Christmas Tree Red Velvet Duo (Worth £23.00)

Leading the charge for change within the nail industry, Manucurist is a vegan and cruelty-free brand made in France. They pride themselves on swapping harsh ingredients (in the words of the brand, ‘endocrine disruptors and allergenic molecules’) for natural, eco-friendly alternatives that promote glossy, long-lasting manicures and healthy nails. Nail it just in for the big day with the Duo Golden Christmas Tree Red Velvet, a creative combination intended for mani-lovers who let their nails do the talking.

Promising a pro-level mani from the comfort of your sofa (or by the fireplace), Manucurist's Duo Golden Christmas Tree Red Velvet united a festive-inspired bold polish with golden glitter flakes that add a touch of glamour.

Think: all the shine and long-wear of a gel manicure, without the damage. Uniting Green Flash Red Velvet (a deep, glossy red) with Gold Glitters, biodegradable bonuses that spice up your mani, tailor your nails to match the most wonderful time of the year. Let's talk about the formula of the polish everyone needs in their at-home salon kit; promising exceptional shine and staying power, the gel polish is made from bio-sourced ingredients that don't damage your nails. Not only is it easy to apply, removal is a walk in the park - just use a gentle nail polish remover. Made with ingredients derived from sugar cane, cotton, wheat and corn, the good-to-nails formula promises a satisfying smooth and shiny coat.

Green Flash Red Velvet (15ml): Step 1 - Prepare the nail by degreasing the nail with Green Flash Remover.

Step 2 - Apply the Green Flash Base Coat in thin layer, cap the free edge and place it under the 24W LED lamp for 2 minutes.

Step 3 - Apply your favourite Green Flash colour in thin layers and few strokes and cap the free edge. Catalyse under the 24W LED lamp for 2 minutes. Repeat step 3.

Step 4 - Apply the Green Flash Top Coat in thin layers, cap the free edge and dry under the 24W LED lamp for 3 minutes.

Gold Glitters: Apply your chosen base coat to natural, prepped nails. For a Green Flash manicure, cure under the lamp. If you prefer (this step is optional), you can apply two coats of your favourite colour (cure each coat for a Green Flash manicure) and then apply the glitter to your nails with your finger or a brush. Apply a layer of top coat to set it (cure if you're using Green Flash) and you're ready to shine!
