    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.

    It works

    I was unable to grow my nails at all because they were so weak, but Damage Control strengthened my terrible nails, it'll work for anyone. Now my nails are strong are are longer than they've ever been.

    So glad I found this

    My nails were become brittle and dry because of the winter weather and I chanced upon Ella + Mila Damage Control. It’s a fantastic product. One application (so far) and it made my nails appear almost rosy with a healthy glow and new surface smoothness. Even if it weren’t so healthy, I’d love it for the finish it produces. Huge bonus that it’s cruelty free!! 10 out of 10!!
