Great for naturally weak nails
This smells great and made my nails feel stronger. I have naturally weak nails that break easily, and noticed improvement when I followed the label instructions. However, it was not a strong enough treatment for damage from acrylic nails for me.

Amazing product!
This stuff is amazing! I've had acrylic nails for 5 years. I had to remove them for an upcoming cancer surgery. I wanted to find something without acetone or other chemicals to aid in healing my brittle natural nails. Well, this does the trick! Seriously. I'm one month out, and my nails look good! Highly recommend!!

Amazing Treatment!
I am only on week 3 of the First Aid Kiss Treatment, and my nails look 100% better. I am taking a medication that lowers the immune system, and my nails started splitting, cracking, and breaking. I was devastated as one of my joys is painting and decorating my nails weekly and I've recently fallen in love with Ella+Mila polish and nail art. I stumbled on the First Aid Kiss Treatment and decided to try it, and I'm so glad I did. I followed all the instructions, and my nails are looking amazing and back to normal again! If you have issues like mine, you need to try this!

Great product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first tried it, I used it under the polish and it worked fine. I have a side crack in one of my nails and it held it together. I redid my nails today and the cracked nail is still strong. I'm glad I found your company.

Not good
I tried this twice, about a month apart, being careful to follow directions. Both times it made my nails split badly. Would give no star, if possible. Very disappointed.

Best Nail Strengthening
I have used Sally Hanson in the past... once I tried this, I threw all the others in the trash. If you use this according to the directions you will be very pleased.

Nice Product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised with this- it adds an extra layer of protection to your nails under your mani, but it also adds a pretty, glossy sheen to your nails when worn on its own. The consistency is thick enough that I feel like my nails are still protected, even if I don't have any polish on.

Application Directions
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For weeks 1 and 2 should the directions say apply one coat of nail strengthener to clean nails daily? It does not say to apply daily. Then on week 3 and 4 do you remove it after the second day or the second week?

My new BFF
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I almost didn't buy FAK Nail strengthened. I've tried so many products to help my flimsy, peeling nails, only to watch my nails get worse than ever. But I really liked the one nail polish I had tried from Elle so I thought, "What have I got to lose?" My nails were all down to the quick and the top coat of the nail was even peeling off some of them. After 2 weeks of using Nail Envy and First Aid Kiss my nails are strong and shapely. I love it! I will never be without this new Best Friend Forever!

The best... period.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used many nail strengtheners, hardeners, you name it. When I came across ella +milla’s First Aid Kiss, it was a game changer. Been using it now for several years, and hands-down, the best thing for my nails. Stronger, more flexible. Most of all, no peeling and no breakage. A win win.

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!

Too soon to tell.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the nail strengthener on for just over a week and can’t see any difference. I’m willing to keep using it to see if it actually helps, but so far, I can’t see any difference at all.

First aid kiss to the rescue!
I am finally hanging up the acrylic nails and needless to say my poor nails are in desperate need of TLC. I bought first aid kiss and just started it yesterday. I plan on following the routine to the letter. I'm guessing i might need to do it more than once. I like the way my nails look and feel already. Here's to pretty healthy nails!
