Reviews

Manicurist healed my nails

"I absolutely love this system! The Ultimate Routine for Ridged Nails actually healed my weak, peeling nails. I've been using these products consistently for months. I've watched my nails transform from weak, peeling and breaking to being stronger and healthier. These products work and I will continue to use them."

— Felicia (5/5)

Après 15 jours d’utilisation régulière,

"Après 15 jours d’utilisation régulière, en suivant la routine, je ne peux que recommander. Les ongles sont nourris, lissés, brillants. Ils ont retrouvé force et éclat. Vraiment une excellente routine et tellement facile à faire soi même, pas besoin d’être un professionnel pour avoir des ongles parfaits. Avec des félicitations supplémentaires pour la rapidité de l’expédition : j’habite à l’étranger et l’envoi a été très rapide. Les articles étaient extrêmement bien emballés ! Tout est impeccable."

— Geneviève R. (5/5)

Vraiment très bien. Un peu

"Vraiment très bien. Un peu contraignant pour moi car je n'avais pas l'habitude de m'occuper de moi mais très bon résultats. J'ai fait les 15 jours mais je continue . Mes ongles sont nettement moins striés et cassants. Par contre j'ai eu le sérum complet et pas le concentré perfecteur mais je pense que c'est à peu près pareil. Je n'ai malheureusement pas pris de photo avant . Merci beaucoup pour ces soins."

— Maillet M. (5/5)

My nails look so much

"My nails look so much healthier! I’ve been dealing with a torn nail for almost a year now because of the ridges in my nails. Nothing helped. After a few weeks of following the treatment, the ridges are much less noticeable and the torn nail is growing back Your customer service is also amazing!"

— Mascha s. (5/5)

Je suis mitigée. L'huile verte

"Je suis mitigée. L'huile verte a un réel effet sur mes cuticules, ça c'est sûr. L'active smooth les rends lisses visuellement (j'ai beaucoup de stries) mais n'a pas atténué ces stries. Quand j'enleve le vernis, elles sont toujours aussi prononcées. Le serum, je ne saurais pas dire s'il a un effet ou pas. Mes ongles sont mieux qu'avant, certes, en dehors des stries, mais il faut vraiment faire la cure 4 emaines."

— Erika T. (3/5)

Gratamente sorprendida con los buenos

"Gratamente sorprendida con los buenos resultados, que además he notado ya a los 2 ó 3 días. Tenía poca esperanza porque había probado varios tratamientos de otras marcas sin ningún resultado pero mis uñas ahora parecen nuevas ¡estoy encantada!"

— Elena G. (5/5)

Ich bin begeistert! Meine Nägel

"Ich bin begeistert! Meine Nägel sehen schon viel besser aus und fühlen sich deutlich fester an. Auch die Rillen werden immer weniger sichtbar. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis und kann die Routine nur empfehlen!"

— Ursula O. (5/5)

2 très bons produits. J’avais

"2 très bons produits. J’avais les ongles très abîmés et striés, fragilisés. Qques jours après l’application plus aucun souci. Ils sont beaux, durs et tout lisses. Bref vraiment heureuse ! Je vais craquer direct pour les vernis !"

— cecile.fondeur@gmail.com ‎. (4/5)

L'huile verte est très agréable

"L'huile verte est très agréable à utiliser, le masque SOS a l'air efficace (je sens mes ongles plus lisses quand je le retire le matin) et j'aime beaucoup l'active smooth 01. Je m'attendais quand-même à ce qu'il cache mieux mes stries. Par ailleurs, je trouve l'odeur des vernis active très forte, en tous cas plus forte que ce à quoi je m'attendais."

— imeneh@gmail.com ‎. (4/5)

La livraison de ma commande

"La livraison de ma commande s’est révélée particulièrement chaotique. Cette expérience a fortement impacté ma satisfaction et constitue aujourd’hui un frein à l’éventualité d’une seconde commande."
