Reviews

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)

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"

— Marta D. (4/5)

In due settimane ho le

"In due settimane ho le unghie e le cuticole perfette. Anche gli smalti normali non curativi che ho preso per mia figlia sono stati una scoperta fenomenale!!!"

— mp.silvani82@gmail.com ‎. (5/5)

Purtroppo non ho la foto

"Purtroppo non ho la foto delle mie unghie prima di utilizzare i vostri prodotti, credetemi, ho delle unghie molto più sane, sono ancora molli, purtroppo credo che dipenda da carenza di calcio, ma ora nn si sfaldano facilmente, non sono striate e secche alla vista. Per ora sono molto contenta."

— Alessandra S. (5/5)

Routine juste parfaite. J ai

"Routine juste parfaite. J ai retrouvé de beaux ongles en 3 semaines. Je recommande. Simple d’utilisation avec une routine très facile à gérer."

— jennifer.queval@hotmail.fr ‎. (5/5)

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!"

— Jade (5/5)

Elle ne résout pas totalement

"Elle ne résout pas totalement la problématique des ongles striés mais améliore grandement la qualité de mes ongles, ils sont beaux et doux"

— mel.rvre@gmail.com ‎. (4/5)

Ce sont plutôt de bons

"Ce sont plutôt de bons produit sauf le concentré perfecteur pour nourrir les cuticules, le produit sort difficilement et au bout de 2-3 utilisations le système s'est cassé ! Ce qui est dommage également c'est de recevoir une routine par mail et pas sur une carte que l'on pourrait conserver avec ses produits."

— VIRGINIE H. (3/5)

J’ai dû attendre de retirer

"J’ai dû attendre de retirer mon vernis semi-permanent avant de démarrer la routine et je me suis fait guider par une consultation virtuelle. Déjà après 4 jours de soins certains de mes ongles ne dont plus striés, à voir pour la suite mais je suis confiante sur une évolution favorable"
