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 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 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.

Reviews

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)

Je continu l'application des produits

"Je continu l'application des produits jusqu'à la repousse totale de mes ongles. les pointes sont encore fragiles (cassantes, dédoublements). je ne désespère pas car je vois une différence depuis le début sur la repousse de mes ongles."

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)."

It’s been 6 weeks since

"It’s been 6 weeks since I started using the soft nail care system (off and on while using the gel polish) and my nails have completely changed. I’d used gel builder and polish for over a year on my already weak nails, and it made it so, so much worse. They were so soft and thin that I couldn’t have them bare without them bending backwards multiple times a day. I’m now able to go without polish and don’t have to worry about hurting my nails at all. My thumbs especially are SO strong. I was worried at first that spending this much would have been for nothing, but I recommend this nail routine to all my friends now! The only thing I hate about it is that the oil feels tacky and sticky until it fully absorbs and dirt/lint tends to cling to it. Pro tip: you only need to tap the oil dropper onto one nail (don’t even squeeze it) and then use your finger to dab it onto each nail. Less is more!"

Endlich eine Pflegeserie, die wirklich

"Endlich eine Pflegeserie, die wirklich hält, was sie verspricht! Meine Nägel sind endlich fest, reißen nicht mehr ein und auch die Nagelhaut sieht sehr gesund aus. Auch die Pflegelacke sind toll, haben trotz Geschirrspülen über eine Woche lang gehalten und sehr schön ausgesehen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!"

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! 🤍"
