Reviews

really good products!!! I never

"really good products!!! I never had a chance to grow my nails out because of them breaking easily and being damaged, but this is the first time in my life that they are long, strong and shiny!!! Everyone from my family has noticed the difference, my friends are complementing my hands, asking for the products I use. I genuinely recommend it from the bottom of my heart."

Quedé impresionada con estos productos

"Quedé impresionada con estos productos desde el primer día que lo utilicé, como llevo prácticamente toda la vida usando semipermanente mi uña estaba debilitada y ahora tengo una uña sana y fuerte con su uso de diario. Estoy encantada con estos productos y seguiré comprando porque son súper fácil de poner y de quitar"

My nails were terrible after

"My nails were terrible after years of gel and even a year of not using any form of gel, they were still peeling and thin. I started using this system two weeks ago and so far I can say that I am happy. They have not started growing rapidly but at least my nails are not peeling like they did. Still in my second week - but so far so good. They are feeling and looking good. Great combo of products, easy to use and feel good. Thank you"

Vraiement pas mal Surtout l'huile

"Vraiement pas mal Surtout l'huile verte que j'aime beaucoup appliquer ça fait du bien a mes ongles Par contre je ne sais pas trop me servir du masque Et la base il est indiqué de l'appliquer 2 fois par semaine mais il faut enlever la 1ere couche avant d'en remettre ou pas?? C'est pas très bien expliqué"

— Anita D. (5/5)

I am really happy with

"I am really happy with the routine. My nails were peeling and very brittle and would break off deep into the nailbed before starting this routine. They are still short and will take a while to grow out but now they are not peeling and chipping in the transition. Thank you Manucurist for such great products!"

— Karen L. (5/5)

I absolutely love my Manicurist

"I absolutely love my Manicurist Ultimate Routine for damaged nails! And WHAT A DIFFERENCE this routine has made for my nails! They look so much better and healthier. I’ve even combined the “Routine” with my new Cranberry nail polish, and it looks so pretty, yet simple, on my nails! The natural look is so welcoming and refreshing on my nails! I’m a new user for LIFE now. Thank you so much, Manicurist!"

— Margaret H. (5/5)

My nails were so thin

"My nails were so thin and brittle, constantly splitting. With this set they are strong and don't split because I bumped something and they are growing so nicely!"

— DeVonna S. (5/5)

J'ai essayé la routine pendant

"J'ai essayé la routine pendant 1 mois car j'avais des ongles cassants, mais ça n'a pas changé mes ongles. Étant à ce moment là en post partum et allaitant, je pense qu'il s'agit plutôt d'un taux de fer bas, et donc il me faut une cure de vitamines. J'adore le masque SOS de nuit, l'huile verte et le keratine booster. Je n'utilise pas la base SOS. Je conseille cet achat : permet de soigner ses ongles entre deux manucures."
