    Saved my natural nails

    I tried gel polish at the nail salon because I liked the thought of having nail color for 2-weeks. On the 2nd manicure, they took off the gel by sanding it down. Not only it hurt, but it weaken my nails. They were so brittle, layers started to separate and they broke easily. I tried different nail strengthening products, but The First Aid Kiss was the only one that strengthened and help grow my natural nails. I don’t use any other strengthening product. I highly recommend!

    The best!

    I never leave reviews for things unless they are life changing.. but let me tell you! My nails have always been thin and bendy/brittle. They are also recently destroyed due to acrylics. My nails would peel if I didn't have a base coat on them, and even when I did!

    I'm on week 2 of this product and I haven't had a problem with peeling yet! I do add an extra layer to a couple problem nails and it works like a charm! I absolutely love this and am so glad I finally found a product that works and is safe!

    Kiss to the rescue!

    Just this past year, my nails have become noticeably brittle. It seems that I have had to do a daily repair on at least one nail. Now, after using First Aid Kiss, my nails are healthy again! I’m so pleased with the product that I bought a bottle for a friend whose nails are a mess from years of gels and other harsh treatments. I know that she’ll get the results that she has longed for!

    Caring to my nails

    Ok, my nails need all the help I can give them. This product, first aid, is the first nail product I bought from Ella +Mila many moons ago. I have had to grind or cut down my nails due to them tearing or peeling since I don’t take care of them when I’m outside gardening, washing dishes, etc and my nails dry out. Now, my goal is to leave extra oil at my kitchen sink and to follow the first aid directions throughly.
