Before I was to go in my holiday,
I had a problem with my nails. They would exfoliate, they didn’t grow, they
would break immediately, long story short, it was a nightmare. Maybe because I was
stressed, I do not know the cause of that nightmare, all I knew it was that I had
to find a solution. On top of that, I was invited to be a model for a nail
course and the timing couldn’t be worse.
Luckily the course was postponed
but I still had to go the trip I had planned since spring. I reading an article
the other days about things to prepare for your vacation and among them was the
nails. Went to a pharmacy and asked for something to repair my nails. At the
drugstore near my house I overheard someone ask for a nail treatment from Farmec
so I had an idea they have something like that. At the pharmacy they recommended
me some pills and I was terrified they would make an effect after months. I began
telling about a lotion I heard and they were kind enough to order for me.
There were like 8-9 days before my
friends and I were had to leave and it said on the package I had to use it
daily for a week, then two or three times every week. It doesn’t indicate how
many times you should use it daily and because I put it on my desk at work, I used
it often. I was desperate and ashamed I let my nails get like that and can’t
say how grateful I am to this lotion.
It contains vitamin B5 and keratin
to strengthen soft, fragile or exfoliating nails. Once the lotion is dried, you
can apply nail polish. All things have a darker side and this product contains formaldehyde;
from my research it is a toxic substance for human health if there is a long
term exposure by inhalation. Humans are affected by it in a more or less on
daily basics but I found it correct to be informed that the nail treatment
contains it.
Another thing to take into
account, that is very important and you shouldn’t ignore is that you have to
protect the cuticles with grease or oil. Trust me on this; you’ll regret if you
don’t cover any scratch you have. It happen to me, I had a little scratch near
my nail and didn’t believe it would be that bad. My tears were the proof I should
follow the instructions. Also, it can dry the skin around the nails seriously so make sure you have a hand cream near by.
Now let’s speak of the effects. It
took only a week to see it work. Never thought it would act so fast and believe
me, I wouldn’t say otherwise if not true. First the nails started to feel
stronger and thank God they would not scratch and break at any touch. Now they
have finally grown and I’m very proud of them. I have used nail polish and when
I take it off, I make sure I use the lotion again and take a day or two breaks,
just so I wouldn’t expose my nails to so many chemicals at once.

These are my nails after two weeks using this lotion |
The package is okay, has 11 ml
and even though I used it a lot, there is still much left. I can help others
have pretty nails too. The only thing that annoys me is the cap, it appears it
can be loose even if I tried to close it properly.
I never expected Farmec to have
such a good product. I haven’t used something from them since I was a child and
would borrow my mum’s and aunt’s face lotion. I was fond of them because of my
childhood memories and now I’m surprised and content the lotion is so
effective.
Can’t tell at the moment if it
has side effects but just wanted to share with you something that helped my
nails recover.
