Manucurist new active line of "barely there" polishes swatched.

[@mimvlog3236]

I credit you with the massive movement toward healthy, natural nails. So many fashion and beauty influencers have been ditching the gel, dips, shellac and all of those options for the quiet luxury look of beautiful natural nails. The industry has caught on, with your example today of Manucurist now offering an entire wardrobe of polish that enhances the natural beauty of nails. Thank you for leading this trend. I LOVE my natural nails, and am grateful for all of the expertise you share with us every week to keep them in optimal health! xoxoxo

[@TheSalonLife]

I purchased these from Manucurist but before you buy it would you know what I think about these? Let me know below ⬇

[@laurakalinski1286]

Anna - what did you think of the polishes? Did they go on nice? Did the colors look good?

[@marijak2714]

Always interested in your opinion on anything nail related 💗

[@patriciaheller2608]

Of course we want to know what you think about them. Your opinion is worth everything. 😊

I would love your opinion!!!

[@heatherlundquist-buffalo]

I’d like them

[@carolinelandreth7867]

Yes! Please need a full review 😊

[@eliseraifman4766]

I like them all too! Love sheer, barely there, polishes that don’t streak when applying them. Thanks for sharing!

[@chloeycloey2329]

Love swatches, thank you! I feel like 1 coat of the Active Smooth + 1 coat of the Blueberry Active Glow would give a similar result to your Chanel Base Coat + Dior Glow combo manicure (which is my fav look, so elegant). Would love to have a wear test to see how long they last.

[@TheSalonLife]

Such a good idea :)

[@jengofalltrades]

Smooth and bright are “it” for me 😍 but all of them are super pretty! The Shine one with the tiny glitter(?) looks lowkey festive too. They are all super nice!

[@cari4163]

Would love a full review! These are so pretty. Barely there polish is my favorite!

[@cherylb6755]

Thank you for sharing this, Anna. Layering them would be interesting. I don’t follow trends and enjoy all my polishes. Including my gel polishes that I use when I go on vacation. In my experience, using your TLC suggestions has greatly improved the condition of my nails, which had been just fine. For me, nothing will ever beat your warm oil soak (weekly and oftentimes more), nightly pushing back my cuticles GENTLY followed by Kerasal on the base of my nails to keep my sticky cuticle at bay. I now use GENTLY as my daily mantra for everything. Thank you for being the teacher that you are.

[@avamarshall1209]

I bought all of them…. And WOW. I am more impressed than I thought I would be… The nail brightener one is my favorite, it is absolutely gorgeous. Even my daughter saw it and said “what the heck are you wearing on your nails Mom, they look amazing.”…. I have the sparkly, shine one on right now. It’s beautiful. Almost as pretty as the brightener. And, I never go unpolished. For years, I’ve had color on my nails every day. But since buying these, I have not painted my nails. They’re just so pretty! I haven’t tried the other three yet, but I’ve always liked the pink tinted polish, so I have no doubt I will love them all ♥️

[@youtubeacnt]

Perfect video. Simple and also calming, thank you. Would love to see more colours!

[@anitawallace2166]

I have the original “raspberry”. It looks great and actually looked good for 2 weeks! Partly because the color is so subtle you can’t see wear on the tips like you do with regular polish. It never chipped, just started growing out.

[@KellyfromMemphis]

Thank you for that information 🤗

[@kathiehein5969]

I love that glittery active shine!

[@lisagrainger6340]

I think they’re all lovely especially if you just like a clear coat! My favourite is the active shine 💗

[@chrisgreek4285]

What a gorgeous set of polishes! I love that barely there but better look on my nails; it is so chic and elegant❣️

[@Aurorarose242]

Love that for you. Thank you for your honest nail care advice. Appreciate your channel so much!!!! I had no idea my nails needed a break until watching your channel; which saved my nail health.

[@mbl209]

I bought this set last week. I like the look and wear so far - BUT - I was annoyed at myself for being duped by their use of the word "glow" as these sheer colors do not have fluorescent ingredients and so are not truly glow polishes. Nevertheless, I did quite a bit of gardening over the last few days, at times without gloves, and the polish still looks great - no chips and very little color change. The Blueberry is a little too blue for my taste so I did one coat Raspberry with one coat Blueberry and it looks very pretty.

[@TheSalonLife]

You should have watched my previous reviews about the non glowing "glow" heheh. I totally agree with you. It should be called Raspberry Tint.

[@T-Laydie]

I've been looking at these 😍 'Raspberry' and 'Bright' for me. Thank you for swatching.💜

[@Kcoste08]

I've just recently been looking at this brand, as I'm traveling to France in June and wanted to pick up a brand that's not available in the US to add to my collection. So glad to see you using and posting these! These Barely there's are so pretty, would love to see some of their regular lacquers! 😀

[@anamariaevans8421]

Thank you very much for the swatches, much appreciated! 🥰

[@vsmith0678]

Stunning collection! If I had to choose it would be Raspberry Glow and the Shine, followed by Smooth Blueberry is too pink for me. The Glow is nice, but did not seem make much of the difference. However , I would gladly buy the whole set😊. Thank you for the video, very helpful as always, also aesthetically pleasing ❤

[@betsypayne3197]

I love this Active line. I have tried all but blueberry. This is all I wear now. Makes my nails look beautiful and natural. The polishes are all kind and gentle to my nail plate.

[@patriciafay-f9l]

These are very pretty - I think you could layer one coat of one with one coat of another also

[@Useruseruseruser77893]

I think all of them are looking very beautiful. I would love to know more about them and your review about them, since you are really an expert about nails and polishes. I love Dior nail glow and I've got it because of your tutorials and since September I use Japonese manicure nail kit - P Shine and my nails are very healthy with it, but it takes more time to do my manicure with it, so sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I continue to use normal polishes over the shiny nails that I get from this Japonese kit.

[@marina_nanana]

My favorite is still the original, which I already own :) The blueberry one is nice too if I want a cooler and more obvious pink color, but I have the Dior for that.

[@marvelx8173]

I just ordered a kit. These polishes look beautiful!!! Thanks for showing them:)

[@kp3171]

I really like the look of the “Smooth” one… I was hoping for a more brighter look from the “Bright” one, but it’s barely made a difference I think

[@TheSalonLife]

I love the look of that one actually because it’s barely there. :)

[@julietierney2516]

I like the blueberry glow and the sparkly one the best. I love the barely there look, too. I saw these advertised and thought about getting them. I might get the blueberry and the sparkly. :) Thank you!

[@dezerismith7529]

I want the barely there polishes these are pretty.

[@theresahenry4599]

These all look lovely . I’d like to know how long lasting they are please

[@user-tz1dq3fw5b]

I love these! So subtle but they make you look put together. Do you like them? Does it contain usual chemicals like other polishes? I remember you reviewed the Active Glow saying the nourishing aspect is just marketing. That’s why I haven’t bought them yet (my nails are recovering from polish damages). I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes, they contain the normal nail polish ingredients. No, they don't "nourish" the nails as nails are dead. I should start selling my blueberry muffins, my zuccini muffins, my carrot muffins as plant based nutricional treatments. Full of antioxidants, super food, green veggies, packed with beta carotene obviously not mentioning the flour, oil, sugar or calling them plant based which is OK then. They are good for you!! Joking aside, the marketing is over the top. How much blueberry is in that nail polish? And how is applying this miniscule amount of blueberry topically on the nail "nourishing"? These polishes are 99,9% solvents, plastic and plasticisers. The usual chemicals. Like any other polish on the market. Nothing wrong with them either but it is what it is. In moderation they are all fine unless you are allergic to it, just like with food. The formula might be amazing, non fading, lasting, quick drying, shiny, non streaky which could make for amazing polish but nourishing is not.

[@nicoled.8595]

I've been wearing this brand for about a year and these new colors look divine. Quick drying time. Would like to know if you can get at least 5 days of wear from application. Enjoy your videos very much.

Decades ago, Revlon carried a tinted clear polish that I think was called "Natural." The Blueberry and Raspberry colors remind me of it.

[@TheSalonLife]

It rings a bell you know...?

[@cathyzehner7120]

Love these especially for spring and summer. Let us know how they wear.

[@Donna-ct2gn]

I'm so glad I discovered your channel recently, and since then catching up. Of these polishes I like the Active Smooth. I've bought several Essie shades but still haven't a favorite. Can you recommend a brand that is 1) sheer, 2) matte finish of a 3) barely there pale pinkish nude? I can't find anything that has all these qualities. Like in a no makeup makeup for the face, but for nails. I'm an older white woman, pale blonde. Thank you.

[@mopsolina]

Smooth and shine.

[@rolexk3de]

Very nice kit. Did you try the "glitter" polish on top of raspberry/blueberry? I am a fan of subtle light colors...

[@georgiekasko8698]

Hi Anna, which one would you recommend for nails with ridges to camouflage them a little? Love your content, thank you 😊

[@TheSalonLife]

Probably the original Active Glow or Shine... anything semi sheer seems to settle in the ridges and makes them look more prounounced. I have to test it though first.

[@addict8229]

They look great, but I would love to know how well they hold up to regular wear before considering a purchase.

[@TheSalonLife]

I will test it :)

[@martinesulpice]

Thank you !

[@sleepycat_ada8210]

Will you make a comparison video of blueberry and Dior nail glow soon?

[@TheSalonLife]

They are totally different. The Blueberry is way more pink and it does not have the glow Dior has (the fluorescent brightener)

[@andreearadulescu9340]

smooth and bright look great. I prefer dior glow or the one from nailsinc. for the others. The sparkly is too much sparkle. the biosculpture ethos volcanic base gives a much more subtle sparkle but still beautiful

[@marinowy8998]

Can I or should I add a top coat on top? Or does it not work if I use the Active Glow one?

[@judithhershkowitz7093]

I don’t care for the blueberry or raspberry. They both make your free edge look dingy . The shine and the bright are very pretty. The smooth, looks like a satin finish ridge filler. Anxious for your review of these products.

[@dizzinese]

I really liked the raspberry glow! I had not seen glow polishes before I saw your videos and looked some of them up. I think this has a very barely there presence but definitely does the job! Is this manicurist in the US?

[@KplGN]

Blueberry or raspberry what do you like more?

[@pama3571]

Would the raspberry be a good option in between dazzle dry manicures as a treatment?

[@TheSalonLife]

I know they call them treatments but in my opinion it’s pure marketing. Adding microscopic amount of blueberry or whatever they add to clear nail polish doesn’t make it treatment. It’s like adding a cranberry to my muffin and calling it active cranberry treatment. No. It’s still a dessert. Doesn’t matter if it’s 99% plant based (oil, sugar and flour are all made from plants) it’s still dessert. I mean have it in moderation if you like it but don’t think you are treating anything (I mean maybe your taste buds) 😋

[@pama3571]

@@TheSalonLife this cracks me up! I bet your theory…. Like wine is like a fruit salad. 😆. Besides warm oil I soaks what would be a good treatment in between dazzle dry to help,prevent peelies?

Dior has a glow (brightening effect) and these don’t. Color wise Raspberry is more peach than Dior and Blueberry way more purple.

[@Joan4me]

Yes, please. Especially the active shine. I’ve been wanting to ask you which top coats (nail polish) have the highest gloss … this one looks pretty good.😊

[@TheSalonLife]

The thickest top coats will have the highest gloss but they tend to shrink. You can always try to use 2 coats of top coat 1 coat of polish will never be super shiny but rather will give the nails a natural looking shine

[@birdlovespaint]

Looks cool but also like a $$$ trend, I love a more natural look. Are they suppose to also be nail nutrition and repair? Love the look , and no top or base coat?

[@TheSalonLife]

Just like my cranberry muffins. I should start calling them "cranberry treatment" because they contain a cranberry. I mean its mostly flour, oil and sugar but hey, that's vegan and plant based so all good no? All joking aside, I'm not sure how some blueberry extract in 99,9% plastic makes it a treatment. But they are nice polishes :) Other than the over the top marketing, I have nothing against it, maybe they would be even better if they were nitrocellulose free... 🙏
