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 intensive 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 Fortifying Base Coat, a strengthening care polish that helps reinforce soft, thin nails and restore stronger, more resilient nails.
  • 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.

Diese Pflege ist die erste

"Diese Pflege ist die erste Pflege, die meinen Nägeln wirklich hilft. Jede einzelne Pflege ist sehr gut und zusammen benutzt, sind die Nägel wieder gepflegt und gut genährt. Sie splittern und teilen sich nicht mehr. Phantastische Produkte!"

— Birgit B. (5/5)

Nagels en nagelriemen zijn na

"Nagels en nagelriemen zijn na de kuur, veel mooier en sterker. Enig minpuntje is dat de base coat redelijk snel los laat. Voor de rest een super product dat wonderen doet voor je nagels!"

— Alexandra i. (5/5)

Mi piace molto, effetto naturale;

"Mi piace molto, effetto naturale; l’unica cosa che lascia un po’ a desiderare è il tempo reale per l asciugatura, ci vogliono 5 minuti pieni"

— Alfina A. (4/5)

Ottimo kit per far recuperare

"Ottimo kit per far recuperare alle mie unghie l’aspetto sano e curato che avevano prima dell’uso elle smalto semipermanente!!"

— Luciana P. (5/5)

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."

— elisabeth d. (3/5)
