Manucurist Reviews

3.8

Manucurist earns polarized reviews: many say the formulas work—brushes glide smoothly, nude shades flatter, Green Flash and Active care lines feel gentle and can leave nails healthier—while others report fast peeling, smudging, and slow dry times that undermine wear. The brand’s clean, non-aggressive approach and elegant unboxing impress, but inconsistent longevity, blotchy sheer tints like Active Glow Blueberry, and certain treatments that dent or never fully set temper enthusiasm.

    I originally purchased this trio from Blue Mercury when they were on sale, and was pleasantly surprised by how much they improved the look of my natural nails. I feel like most nude colors look too wall paint-like on my medium skin tone, but I like that these were sheer enough to let your natural nails be visible, but buildable when you wanted more coverage. The brush shape also felt like it fit my nail bed really well (I prefer a slightly thick and flat brush over round and thin, like an OPI brush)

    I had a very disappointing experience with Manucurist. One of the glass bottles in my order (Order #739595) arrived completely shattered because it was not wrapped individually. Instead, it was placed loosely in the box with packing peanuts. When I opened the package, I cut my finger on the broken glass. Customer service apologized and told me they would send a replacement, but after that there was no follow-up. It has now been several days, and despite my follow-up emails, I still haven't received a replacement, a refund, or even an update. I'm not sure why so many other customers report receiving great customer service, because that was not my experience. I was polite throughout the entire process and simply explained what happened. They acknowledged the issue and promised a replacement, but then stopped responding. It honestly made me feel like they didn't care about resolving the situation. This could have been easily prevented with proper packaging. Glass bottles should be wrapped individually to protect customers and prevent injuries. I expected much better customer service from this brand. Keeping customers informed and following through on promises should be standard. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend ordering from Manucurist until they improve both their packaging and their customer support.

    I feel like the manicurist brand is perfect for the now nail polish polish sort of girl. I rarely get my nails done, I keep the super short and just like them to look clean. I have several products from the active range and they are perfect for the your nails but better look.

    My nails are super weak and my hands generally get a beat-up but this polish (of sorts) is a game-changer for me. It does add a lot of strengthening for my nails and adds a bit of shimmer so I know it's on. It lasts a while and makes a noticeable improvement.
