Best I’ve ever found for my damaged nails
Cancer drugs have destroyed my nails. I remember I had some from the first time I was going through breast cancer and it did an amazing job on my nails. I’ve ordered a new one so I don’t run out. It’s remarkable. I also love the application brush. I wish they had the wider brushes when I was still working as a cosmetologist.

Prefer First Aid Kiss
I love First Aid Kiss and wanted to try this one with the nourishing horsetail. My nails are extremely thin and weak. This one did not work as I hoped, but, I love Ella+Mia products and only buy their products for my nail and manicure needs.

One of at least 5 excellent products
I decided to take matters into my own hands because I will not go to nail salons: unhealthy products and despite efforts, sub-par air quality. For years I tolerated my unattractive finger nails that peeled and split (toe nails are fine). I read about Ella & Mila's safer products in a review, and for the first time in my long life, I am pleased with my nails. I purchased cuticle care, damage control strengthener, a color & glossy topper, polish remover, etc. They truly look good, plus I have peace of mind about the products.
It's also important to note that Ella & Mila's customer service is to be envied by others. Prompt responses, no pressure, and very accommodating. Ella & Mila is a keeper!

Best Strengthener Ever!
My nails were prone to splitting, breaking, were very damaged ( I wash my dishes in bleach water without gloves so I know I’m the main problem) and wouldn’t grow very good, but this stuff has worked wonders! I wear alone or under my polish and my nails are stronger and are actually growing as you can see from the photo.
Please overlook the polish. It’s been on almost two weeks and getting worn.

FAQs

Answers to common questions about application, wear, and care.

ella+mila polish is designed to be gentle on nails. We always recommend using a base coat to help prevent staining and ensure smooth, even application.

For best results, apply 2–3 thin coats, allowing each layer to dry before the next. Thin layers help the color look smoother and more even.

Dry time can vary depending on how thin each coat is applied. For best results, allow a few minutes between layers and finish with a top coat to help seal and protect your manicure.

We recommend using both. A base coat helps polish adhere and apply more evenly, while a top coat seals in color and adds a glossy finish.

ella+mila polishes are made without many of the harsh chemicals commonly found in traditional polish and are designed to be gentle on nails when used as directed.

Yes. ella+mila is cruelty-free and vegan, and our products are never tested on animals.

Colors may vary slightly depending on lighting, screen settings, and the number of coats applied. We recommend viewing customer photos for real-life examples.
