I'm very satisfied of Activу

"I'm very satisfied of Activу bright and Active plump. I'm using it only 2 weeks and my fragile nails have super healthy look, nail polish dosent go away after I wash dishes or wash my hair, it stays nice and clean almost 5 days. I recommend to use it to everyone who has constantly broken thin nails , it is the best nail product i have ever tried! Thank you Manicurist!"

Anastasia P. (5/5)

Amazing product for a nail routine.

"I got the Ultimate Routine - Damaged Nails without the Keratin Booster (it was out of stock when I made my purchase). I have been using this routine for 2 weeks and my nails have made significant improvement since the first application. Top picture is the before, bottom picture is the after 2 weeks. Will continue using!"

Ema (5/5)

Perfect for somebody who wants beautiful bare nail

"I bought this routine back in January and I've been using it religiously. My nails are so healthy and so beautiful that I love showing my bare nails now which I have never been somebody that like that! Definitely going to be a mainstay for me because I'm more of a bare nail girl now than I used to be."

Kelly (5/5)

Cette routine fait vraiment du

"Cette routine fait vraiment du bien à mes ongles de pieds qui sont très abîmés. J’aime beaucoup surtout l’huile verte."

Aurélie P. (5/5)

Je suis satisfaite des produits ;

"Je suis satisfaite des produits ; je viens de terminer le traitement de deux semaines et je le referai dans quelque temps. Je les apprécie et ils sont efficaces. En revanche, le transporteur est déplorable : la livraison est extrêmement lente et certains produits sont arrivés cassés."

Maria D. (5/5)

My nails have never been so strong

"I ordered the set to support my nails recovery after a few months of dip powder. They have grown so strong and healthy. My routine is the keratin booster then complete serum followed by the Huile verte. They don’t break, brittle anymore and they are strong. Highly recommend."

Virginie (5/5)

"I was disappointed that came with no instructions. Emailed company but havent gotten a response yet. I really hope the products work as my nails are a mess. Really should come with instructions!"

Cindy W. (2/5)

Meraviglioso set, dal profumo per

"Meraviglioso set, dal profumo per me sensazionale, credo grazie all’estratto di castagna! Ho aggiunto a questa routine anche il siero completo . Avevo le unghie rovinate da prodotti chimici per la rimozione di smalti semi permanenti … dopo solo 3/4 settimane di trattamento completo ,,, unghie incredibilmente rigenerate, dall’aspetto più sano e decisamente meno doloranti"

Helen T. (4/5)

"Unfortunately I bought into the hype and this did nothing for my nails and the capsules gave me an upset stomach. If i could return iy I would but that isnt an option."
