Great Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a product that really helps. Some of my nails were peeling and using the Firm Foundation as a base coat has helped tremendously. Also, when used as a base coat it really makes my manicure last. I will definitely order again.

Nail hardener & Base coat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My nails are not hard so they always chip and split. This nail hardener works great. It strengthens my nails so I can polish them.

Lasts Longer than other Brands

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does not peel and crack like others. And after a few days, I'm able to apply another coat right over the old coat and it loks fine.

So far so good!

I have had trouble keeping my nails long once they get to a certain length. I have tried other nail strengtheners/hardeners and my nails would just end up peeling and breaking after a day. So far, this has helped keep my nails strong!

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product eliminates the need for a repair and/or strengthening product as well as a base coat. I like it especially because it is not a yellow base.

Everyone needs this!

I went from having my nails done professionally for years to doing them myself. They started out so thin it was horrible. Then I discovered ella+mila. I use the Firm Foundation nail hardner, a beautiful polish and the What the Gel gel-like top coat. My nails have never been this strong or healthy! I have got my fingers caught on things and my nails didn't break. I will never use any other product again! Love you ella+mila!

Works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this brand and the nail hardening treatment because nothing else seemed to work. I saw good reviews and researched to determine that Ella and Mila does not contain dangerous chemicals.I’ve been very impressed and my nails are growing and getting stronger and stronger! They no longer peel and snap.
