    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."

    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."

    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."

    — carine g. (2/5)

    Belle découverte

    "Très belle découverte, ayant un métier manuel avec des produits agressifs j’ai les ongles très striés, les cuticules sèches et épaisses. . Et depuis bientôt deux semaines d’utilisation, en respectant correctement la routine je vois une nette différence et j’en suis vraiment contente. Un achat que je ne regrette pas, et que je recommande à toutes les femmes de ma famille depuis aha!"

    Dopo un anno di unghie

    "Dopo un anno di unghie sfaldate e rigate dopo poche settimane ho di nuovo unghie quasi perfette. Ottimi prodotti! Li consiglierò a tutte le amiche!"

    questa routine è molto buona,

    "questa routine è molto buona, lo smalto è facile da mettere e ha anche un bellissimo colore. Purtroppo il problema delle unghie striate non è passato"

    I prodotti sono molto buoni

    "I prodotti sono molto buoni ma il pacco è arrivato danneggiato e mancava un prodotto ma i prodotti sono i migliori che io abbia mai provato."

    Kit ongles strié

    "Après 15 jours de cure j'ai remarqué une meilleur solidité de mes ongles et une diminution des séries à leur surface. J'ai pu suivre un webinaire et cela m'a permis de mieux appliqué l'active smooth (fine couche par fine couche). Je continue à prendre soin de mes ongles avec la cure Nail Boost."
