    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.

    ONLY product that healed my nails!!!

    I'd had acrylics for 15+ yrs, damaging my nail beds. I then tried the nail stickers for a few yrs, hoping they'd recover. Nope. I happened upon Damage Control at CVS & thought I'd give it a try. Best. Decision. EVER. Took 5 months of following directions exactly, but my nail beds no longer peel, split or are ridged. I wish I'd taken "before" photo, but I honestly thought this product would be like the many others--and fail. It has given me healthy, growing nails again, and I'm SO HAPPY!! Thank you, THANK YOU for this product, Ella+Mila. ❤ I'm very grateful.

    Amazing

    I’m a physical therapist assistant that does aquatic therapy exclusively, so I’m in a chlorine pool 5 days a week. My nails were strugglinggggggg. I got this a month or so ago and used it religiously the past 3 weeks and OMG my nails are SO MUCH BETTER. they look great and I am super pleased.

    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!
