Reviews

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)

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."

— Cécile G. (5/5)

Très bons produits, cependant pour

"Très bons produits, cependant pour les ongles qui se dédoublent je n'ai pas constaté de grosse amélioration. C'est dommage pour le soin kératine de ne pas pouvoir mettre un peu de base par dessus, car cela protège les ongles des agressions extérieures."

"J'ai acheté cette cure juste après une dépose de gel aux mains et de semi aux pieds, cela fait maintenant 3 semaines que j'utilise la cure et j'en suis très satisfaite. Leurs produits sont assez efficaces!"

— Céline P. (5/5)

I've never been able to

"I've never been able to grow and to maintain longer stronger nails before. Mine are naturally brittle and thin. But if you follow their regimen, as I did, you'll also get strong nails. I feel great wearing rings now."

— Maggie Z. (5/5)

SUPER HEATHLY NAILS I have

"SUPER HEATHLY NAILS I have to say it took just a bit longer to see great results (but I stuck with it and applied the products as recommended for an additional 2 weeks. The before pic was taken 7/1 and the after pics were taken 7/30. They are moisturized from the products and no longer dried out and cracking. Even the skin around the nails looks healthier. I purchased the hydrating serum too, which is a wonderful treat! I am a fan."

— Janet S. (5/5)

Ho 65 anni,le mie unghie
