Frequent exposure to moisture, repeated traditional gel polish applications, or excessive buffing can gradually cause nails to become soft, tear, and split. Some nails are also naturally soft.

This intensive 2-week care routine has been designed to harden, strengthen, and improve the resilience of soft nails.

Included:

  • The Nail Strengthening Serum, a regenerating care enriched with keratin, designed to harden and strengthen soft, fragile nails over time.
  • The Fortifying Base Coat, a strengthening care polish that helps reinforce soft, thin nails and restore stronger, more resilient nails.
  • The Nail & Cuticle Serum, a concentrated hydrating care that intensely restores nails and cuticles.
  • 2-week nail care guide, with a detailed day-by-day routine.

My nails are normally soft,

"My nails are normally soft, but since having acrylic nails for ever, I decided to have them removed and now they are wafer thin, came across your products on Facebook, and it's the best thing I have purchased plus I ordered the active smooth and glow which has help my nails a lot. Sorry haven't got a before and after photo."

Diese Pflege ist die erste

"Diese Pflege ist die erste Pflege, die meinen Nägeln wirklich hilft. Jede einzelne Pflege ist sehr gut und zusammen benutzt, sind die Nägel wieder gepflegt und gut genährt. Sie splittern und teilen sich nicht mehr. Phantastische Produkte!"

— Birgit B. (5/5)

Das Émollient Efficace funktioniert sehr

"Das Émollient Efficace funktioniert sehr gut. Die Haut wird weich und lässt sich leicht zurück schieben. Mit dem Hautschieber muss ich noch üben... wahrscheinlich drücke ich noch zu viel. Ist aber ein sehr wertiges Material. Fühlt sich gut an in der Hand."

— Ana C. (5/5)

Just try it!

"I’ve had very thin, damaged nails my entire life. For the past 5 years, I always wore long artificial nails with gel manicures because I was ashamed of my natural nails. They weren’t just short — they were weak and, honestly, I didn’t think they looked good at all. I could NEVER have imagined that one day I wouldn’t feel ashamed of my natural nails. I first noticed a difference after just two weeks of using this kit. Now it’s been 1.5 months, and my nails have never been this strong, healthy, and beautiful. Thank you, Manucurist, for making such a difference for me! 🤍"

"Vielen Dank Manukurist,besonders Cuticle Remover und Glasnagel-Zubehörset sind Perfekt. Mit Soft Nail Base Coat sehen meine Nägel gepflegt und hübsch aus."

Le mie unghie sono migliorate,

"Le mie unghie sono migliorate, ma non ancora come le vorrei. Forse occorre rifare il trattamento o prolungare il periodo della keratina..."

— sara.visconti671@gmail.com ‎. (4/5)

Excelente! Uso el sèrum complet

"Excelente! Uso el sèrum complet antes de pintar las uñas y me ha sorprendido lo rápido que se absorbe sin dejar ningún residuo en la uña. Para hidratar las cuticulas todos los días uso Huile Verte que es más aceitoso y es mejor usarlo después de pintar las uñas. Estoy impresionada de la rápido que ha reparado mis cutículas. Los productos fortificantes están bien, cumplen con su función de endurecer. La única pega es que dura poco y hay que aplicarlos de 2 a 3 veces a la semana (no lo he probado con un esmalte por encima igual de ese modo dura más tiempo)."

— Jennifer V. (5/5)

Top mes ongles sont beaucoup

"Top mes ongles sont beaucoup plus dur et ne se dédoublent pas. Petite suggestions il faut faire la cure minimum 3 à 4 semaines ."

— EVA W. (5/5)
