Inflexion takes a stake in Manucurist

The French nail colour and care brand has opened its capital to Inflexion, which has acquired a significant minority stake for an undisclosed amount. The founders retain a majority shareholding. Advised by Alantra on the transaction, they are partnering with a new investor to support the company’s growth across its various channels and accelerate its international expansion, particularly in the United States.

Originating in French professional nail salons, Manucurist has built an omnichannel model based on a direct-to-consumer (DTC) platform, complemented by a growing presence across leading international retailers and on Amazon. The brand is positioned at the intersection of colour, care and performance, with formulas designed to preserve the natural nail.
