ella+mila "First Aid Kiss" Nail Strengthener and Growth treatment- Nail Repair Solution & Growth Treatment for Thin, Brittle & Damaged Nails - Nail Hardener with Vitamin E (0.45 fl oz)

I was desperate to fix my nails. After years of beautiful nails, menopause happened. Within a year my nails went from lovely to extremely fragile, peeling & splitting 😰. Seriously, if my nails were made of paper, they would have been more resilient. From January ‘24- May ‘25 I tried OPI Nail Envy, OIrly Calcium Shield and countless reputable products. Absolutely nothing worked. I’d just about given up when I came across this product. I ordered out of desperation & I’ve used it for a week now, applying it every night as directed. It seems to have worked!!! No peeling, no splitting, no more “weaker than paper” nails 😦! I was out in the garden today- yes, I wore gloves, but when I took them off I could hardly believe it…my nails were totally intact. This maybe Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth for nails. I’m so grateful & highly recommend this product- 5⭐️!UPDATE- finished Week 2 & going on Week 3…Recently, I have been doing heavy gardening work, wearing gloves of course. I’m continuing to use the product as directed. My nails are doing GREAT! I have had some splitting (probably due to the abuse from garden work), but NO PEELING… it has literally been a 1 & 1/2 years of peeling, fragile nails & this product seems to have stopped it. I’m amazed 🤩. Will continue to update…UPDATE #2 6/18/25- I continue to use First Aid Kiss and my nails have continued to improve. I am still growing out the pre-First Aid Kiss fragile nails, but I am able to actually GROW them out a bit w/o them splitting & peeling away. I’m thrilled with the results of this product. It seems to be able to bond to fragile nails and protect them as they grow. I would give it 10⭐️’s if I could!UPDATE #3 - 7/20/25 Success!!!

This took a bit to work as my damaged nails grew out but the results are impressive..no more peeling, breaking and nails look and feel healthier. Happy!

Have been using for over a year, better, stronger nails and healthier cuticles !

I only used the product a few days and so far it seems to work, but I need to wait a bit longer to confirm if it will deliver what it said.

I really like this product so far. I have been using it for 3 weeks and it looks really nice and my nails have not broke yet! To be fair, my nails are decently strong anyways, but this adds a pretty shine and seems to add some level of protection. I just layer it once a week because I am too lazy to take it off with polish remover and it doesn't look too thick or anything. I can tell after a week, it wears thin a bit on the ends of my nails but the product is thin enough that you cannot see it unless you are looking close. It does come off very easily if you are putting bandaids on your fingers though with the sticky part on the nail because it is thinner than regular polish, but it doesn't chip which is all I care about.

I have NEVER--- been able to grow a nice looking "healthy set of nails" - AND I TRIED "EVERYTHING" !!!My nails would chip with the slightest knock into something- You name it!I know some of you ladies know what I am talking about here-For you gals out there that were just not blessed with strong and healthy nails - you want to try this polish-You don't need a Nail Salon with Wraps and Acrylics- You don't need "unhealthy" TOXIC INGREDIENTS.I tried a ridiculous amount of nail hardeners- ranging from high to low in cost$$Unless this company makes changes to the formula - I will continue to purchase this.I applied "one" coat for the first week. I gave myself a "second" coat the next week. After a couple of weeks- you repeat "the same". Honestly my nails never felt stronger.In addition - these new set of nails that I now I have... have taken a few knocks... and they are still GROWING STRONG.For the "first-time" in decades... I have to file my nails down! LOVE IT!

I purchased this item because it seemed a fairly non toxic way do something nice for my nails. Be warned it does have a fairly potent smell.It has a lovely natural finish that gives a bit of shine which is great if you don't like to wear colorful polish. I have strong nails that don't easily chip or break and they grow quickly... since I have started to use this product my nails have started to split at the ends. This may be something that's unique to me but wanted to share in case it helps other people. I've since quit use.

The bottle I received had a loose lid so the product leaked out and stuck the bottle to the box. I had to tear the box to get the bottle out. I was gonna try and get my money back but the system would never link to this item it always linked to another item I also bought. Therefore, I will not be sending it back and will use what's left in the bottle.Note: I have ordered two more bottles hoping this won't happen again. Also, I gave it three stars because I do love the product and it really works.
