Application:
Week 1 – Apply one coat of First Aid Kiss to bare, clean nails on day one. Keep the treatment on your nails and on the seventh day, remove from nails using a non-acetone remover.

Week 2 – On the day you remove your Week 1 treatment (the 7th day), apply one coat of First Aid Kiss to bare, clean nails. Keep the treatment on your nails and after another seven days, remove from nails using a non-acetone remover.

Weeks 3 and 4 – Apply one coat of First Aid Kiss every other day. Apply the first day, keep on second day, and remove on the third day. Reapply on the same third day. Repeat for two weeks.

*Once you have completed the 4 week process, continue to use re-hydrating nail strengthener as a base coat underneath shaded nail enamel, if needed. You may repeat this 4 week process if you feel your nails need additional TLC.

*First Aid Kiss can be used underneath nail polish but please note that since it is not an actual base coat, your manicure just may not last as long.

Q: Question, as a first time user, can I also put a color on top of this once it dries while doing the 4 week treatment?

submitted by tamtams - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi tamtams! Yes, you can absolutely apply color over this. You will still want to follow the cadence of removing and re-applying the Nail Strengthener on the Target.com page, but you can put color over it each time you apply a new coat! Hope this helps!

Q: Is this safe to use for nail biters? I have a sensitive stomach and need to know if it could cause digestive distress if small amounts of dried product are ingested. Thank you

submitted by S - 2 years ago
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. We recommend you use {no more biting} as this is a deterrent for nail biters. {first aid kiss} is a nail strengthening treatment, it’s one of our best sellers but it will not deter one from biting their nails and it’s not safe for ingestion. Hope this helps. Have a great day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't even done the whole regime with First Aid Kiss but I already love it! It looks great and protects my nails, even when worn all by its self and makes a great, nail conditioning base coat as well! I doubt that I will ever go without it again!

This product works AMAZINGLY. Make sure you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. If you’re following the directions (as in don’t put on more than one coat!) then it works great. I’ve always had thin nails that break easily and this works great. I can actually grow them out.

I am excited to try this nail care product. I have been giving my nails a break from acrylics and growing them out. So they have been weak and brittle. I finally have them at a good length but needed something to strengthen them and hoping this product will help. This is my first week of using it and it applies easy to the nail and dries fast. So far so good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this product for about five months as a base coat. My natural nails were in pretty good shape, but had begun to peel after using a strengthener with formaldehyde for years . I finally decided to try this basecoat strengthener, and though it took a long time for my nails to grow out, they are in terrific shape now. From my process, I merely put it on as a base coat, and then add a coat of polish each day. The polish I use is not made by this company, but the key to my long lasting manicure is this strengthener. I do plan to switch to this company’s polishes in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using the soy nail polish remover and the first aid kiss, and my nails are no longer peeling , splitting, or bending. The are actually beginning to grow. I am thankful I found Ella + Mila. I tried OPI, Nail Tek, and Sally Hansen, First Aid Kiss has solved my issues.

The first time I used this product it worked fairly well. I've since used it multiple times and it peels off after a few hours. I'm not sure how I can even leave it on for two weeks when it comes off so fast.

This nail polish healed my nails from ruining them from acrylics. The went from brittle, rough and damaged to healed again. I used it every week until my natural nails grew out past where previous acrylic nails were. A lifesaver and lasts long!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this product. After 25+ years of artificial nails my nails took a beating. It’s really helping my nails to become stronger. It’s a long process but I am sticking with it between your strengthener, nail products and taking Biotin I am seeing repair of my nails.
