Manucurist A World of Wonders Winter 2026 Shades
Manucurist’s A World of Wonders collection includes 3 new shades — Amour (a light burgundy), Emerald (a deep forest green), and Bliss (a sparkly white)
Even though my fingers are in the wrong order, this line up is making me want to head to Italy. :p
Let’s test out the collection!
I’ll be sharing the brand’s description of each shade along with my own swatches.

Manucurist Amour
“A light burgundy Green Flash gel polish.
A luminous burgundy, as radiant as a ruby glowing in the night.”
Amour is a really pretty shade for the cooler seasons. Compare it to Red Cherry here.

My First Manicures with the Winter Collection
Application experience, finished looks, and any early observations.
Emerald is very, very dark and as a result it’s easier to notice if you don’t do a careful job. although according to the latest fashion runways, the sloppy mani is en vogue. lololol
Bliss is the most fun shade of the collection. It’s hard to do it justice because this white sparkly nail polish is very cute!
Amour is an elegant shade of red (“light burgundy”) that could become a go-to year round.
Winter Nail Ideas and Color Combinations
As you know, I am not a nail artist and (probably as a direct consequence of that fact) I usually prefer to wear solid nails.
Still, I was curious how the shades in this collection would layer onto one another.
I did a few quick tests just to see, so please don’t judge these on overall style and technique ;p but more so on the learnings from the experiment.
Green Tip on Red Nails | Sparkly White Polka Dots on Red nails
One thin French tip in Emerald layered nicely over Amour.
Quick polka dots of Bliss (sparkly white) were opaque over Amour!
Note: Did not use a dotting tool (do not have one), just a random tap of the nail polish brush. If you want consistent and refined dotted nails, pick up a dotting tool!
Sparkly White French Tip on Dark Green Emerald Nails
This is one very quick coat of Bliss, sparkly white over top of Emerald green nail polish.
I would recommend using two thin coats of Bliss over top of Emerald.
It does kind of remind me of sparkly snow on a pine tree though. :]
Green French Tip Manicure with Red Heart on White Sparkly Nails
Okay for this next experiment, go ahead and glance at the middle finger in this photo.
On a base of sparkly white nail polish (Bliss) I added a quick angled (V-tip? chevron? idk what it’s called) French tip in Emerald.
One quick coat did well and notice how wearing Emerald on top of Bliss makes the green a bit brighter.
I also added a red heart with Amour on top of Bliss and one quick coat was great! Again, no nail tool used, just a quick dab of the brush for this experiment.
Sparkly White French Tips with Emerald Green Dot Nails
And finally, I thought Bliss would be ideal for a fun touch of sparkle on classic French manicures, whether you go straight-ish across, chevron, or some other style, it’s really a nice option!
For a base I did not use any color, just Green Flash Base Coat and then Green Flash Top Coat, but I think Pale Rose would also be lovely here!
I’m realizing now the only combination that I forgot to test was the red (Amour) on top of the green (Emerald). Sorry guys!
If I remember to test that out in the future, I’ll be sure to update this post with the results.
So overall I was really impressed with how easy it is to layer these colors together if you’re feeling creative.
Is the Manucurist A World of Wonders Winter Collection Worth It?
If these are three shades you would enjoy having in your nail polish collection, then of course it is, and there are a few ways to get a discount on them instead of paying full price for each.
I’ll share that below.
But I also want to add that if all 3 colors aren’t aligned with your personal style, I also have 2 ways for you to get a discount on the new shade(s) you do love, so read on!
