Reviews

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."

Sono molto soddisfatta del risultato

"Sono molto soddisfatta del risultato che ho ottenuto dal trattamento. Già alla prima settimana ho visto la differenza. Ora ho unghie sane, forti e vellutate."

— elenaferri2010@yahoo.it ‎. (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)

Les produits semblent être efficaces

"Les produits semblent être efficaces mais je pense que les stries sont éliminées par le limage de la surface des ongles. À voir à la repousse si les produits font leur travail."

— Vanessa G. (3/5)

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)

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)

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"

— sylvie.nivotadamiak@gmail.com ‎. (5/5)

15 jours après le début

"15 jours après le début des soins, les résultats sont plus que probants ! Et c'est un moment plaisir."

— sandrineubierna64@gmail.com ‎. (5/5)

Super tolles Pflege-Set! Die Nägel

"Super tolles Pflege-Set! Die Nägel werden richtig schön. Ein praktischer Ratgeber mit Anleitung war ebenfalls dabei, so dass man gar nichts falsch machen kann."

— Steffi K. (5/5)

Super routine, très bons produits,

"Super routine, très bons produits, il faut juste que je sois un peu plus régulière. . . c'est mon point faible. Le vernis Active smooth a une super finition qui embellit réellement les ongles et de manière naturelle, du coup j'ai un peu laissé tombé la routine et l'utilise lui, avec l'huile verte, régulièrement. Je m'aperçois que mes ongles et cuticules sont très secs et en ont besoin."

— Barbara S. (4/5)
