Active Smooth 00 15 ml

The Manucurist Active Smooth 00 is an all-in-one smoothing care polish for nails with ridges, unevenness, or a visibly irregular surface. The lightly tinted, rosy formula settles over the natural nail like a fine soft-focus filter: it immediately conceals unevenness, evens out the nail surface, and leaves a natural, satin finish.

• CC polish effect - visually smooths and conceals ridges and unevenness
• Delicate rosy veil for naturally even-looking nails
• Light, buildable coverage with 1-2 coats
• Satin finish instead of classic high shine
• With castor oil fibers, hexanal, AHA, and vitamin E
• 75% bio-based ingredients
• Vegan and can be applied directly to the natural nail
• No base coat, top coat, or lamp - lasts up to 7 days

Active Smooth 00 is especially helpful if you want to wear your nails naturally but are bothered by ridges and minor unevenness. Unlike an opaque nude polish, it leaves your natural nail visible and instead creates a soft-focus, more even look. The result is reminiscent of a CC perfector for the skin: not covered up, but optically balanced.

One coat provides a very natural rosy veil and a subtle soft-focus effect. Two coats intensify the tint and make ridges and irregularities even less noticeable.

Benefits & care

Active Smooth was specifically developed to instantly optically even out nail ridges and unevenness while caring for stressed nails. The lightweight texture visually fills fine depressions and creates a more even-looking surface without covering the nail with an opaque layer of color.

• Castor oil fibers form a smoothing film on the nail surface and help make ridges and unevenness immediately less visible.
• Hexanal supports the strength of the nail plate and is particularly suitable for soft or brittle nails.
• AHA complex of glycolic, malic, and lactic acids supports a smoother, more even-looking nail surface and complements the regenerating care benefits.
• Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and supports the protection and care of stressed nails.
• Squalene and caring lipid ingredients complement the formula and help keep the nail surface supple.

The formula consists of 75% bio-based ingredients. Plant-based and renewable raw materials replace a large proportion of conventional petrochemical raw materials.

Active Smooth 00 is especially suitable for nails with visible vertical ridges, minor unevenness, or a dull, irregular surface. If your nails also frequently split or break, you will find detailed tips on nail types and suitable care in our guide What really helps with brittle fingernails?.

FAQ

Who is Active Smooth 00 particularly suitable for?
For natural nails with visible ridges, minor unevenness, or an irregular surface. The rosy veil visually evens out the nail without looking like an opaque colored polish.

What does the CC polish effect mean?
Just as a CC cream optically evens out the complexion, Active Smooth evens out the appearance of the nail surface. Ridges and unevenness are less pronounced while the natural nail remains visible.

What color is Active Smooth 00?
Active Smooth 00 has a delicate rosy veil with a natural, satin finish. The coverage remains light and transparent.

What is the difference between Active Smooth and Active Plump?
Active Smooth focuses on visually concealing ridges and unevenness and has a satin finish. Active Plump creates a stronger impression of volume and a plumped-up nail surface through its more gel-like texture and pearlescent sheen.

How many coats should I apply?
One coat is enough for a very natural smoothing effect. Two coats intensify the rosy tint and make ridges and unevenness even less noticeable.

Do I need a base coat or top coat?
No. Active Smooth is applied directly to the natural nail and requires neither a base nor a top coat.

Can I combine Active Smooth with Green Flash™?
No. Active™ products are not intended for use as part of a Green Flash™ manicure. However, Active Smooth is ideal for well-groomed natural nails between two Green Flash™ applications.
