Amazing results
Results!! This nail fungus cream actuallly works. The top right of the nail was completely yellow and black before i started using this. After only about a week it started lighten. And i got optimistic. And then no real
progress for about a month, and then i finally saw the nail starting to grow out and thank goodness the new nail growing in was completely clear!IT WORKED! WOOO. Kept using for another few weeks and then stopped and now i’m 100% fungus free.
I still have plenty of cream left after ordering 3 bottles.
Wasn’t sure at first. But working
I have been at this treatment for over a month. My nails started to improve until I put shoes on. As soon as I did the keritan was once again visable. I have found that I am going through alot of this product. So if you
don’t have to wear shoes for any reason this product works very well.
Same Active Ingredient, better amount
There’s another product (not listed) that has the same active ingredient at a 25% proportion, and it causes extreme amount of skin damage when used every day. This product has 10% which seems to allow me to keep applying
again and again without any irritation. Great formula. Great results.
success at last…
Started applying Emoni nail twice a day as instructed. I also filed down my infected nails as they instructed. After a couple weeks the redness around my nails has disappeared but the nails were unchanged. I contacted
emoni nial support and they said to “keep at it”. They were very responsive. After about a month of applying the stuff I noticed my nails started to turn white-ish. Almost as if they were being stained by the treatment.
It took another few weeks before I saw, to my delight, some normal nail growing in at the base of my big toenail. I contacted support again and they told me to keep applying until I was certain that the nail was now
growing in clear and toenail fungus free. I kept applying for another week or so and sure enough the new nail growing in was PERFECT. Just like my pre-nail fungus days. I stopped the treatment and just kept cutting off
the old infected nail as it grew out and eventually it was totally gone. I am now nail fungus free and wanted to help others out there by sharing my story.

Success!
I purchased EmoniNail based on this site’s #1 ranking recommendation.
A few weeks into treatment my nails are much better. The infection is growing out and the new nail looks good.
I would say in another few weeks-month my nails will be back to normal – so it really did work within months.
THANK YOU!

Works great.
Purchased 3 bottles of funginix for my 89 year old father. He is on a bunch of meds so we didn’t feel comfortable putting him on another oral Rx.
Luckily EMONI NAIL worked perfectly. Few months and fantastic improvement. He actually says he “likes” this product. Could not ask for more.

Seems to work!
I am only a few weeks into treatment but I must say I am feeling awfully optimistic. Already seeing results. 4-stars for now, if a few months I’ll update if the black nails are totally healed.

Finally!
What a rollercoaster ride. After oral meds failed I was soo ready to go under the knife. Out of fear of surgery my husband recommended I look around on google rather than just trusting every word my doctor says.
Well, I found this site, found EmoniNail, and now, a few months after starting treatment, I can confidently say that I am nail fungus free (or at least very close).
Thanks!

Cured my ugly nail. Finally.
I had yellow thick nails from the time I turned 40 until this last year (I’m 67 now). I tried just about everything out there when I first started seeing my nails get weird. Nothing worked. I gave up.
Then about 6 months ago I saw a TV ad for Emoninail and decided to give it a shot. Guess what? It worked. I guess the technology has advanced enough. Next thing I know they will have an app to cure nail fungus. Just
kidding.

Amazing product with a good price
This treatment was a good price and really worked incredibly well. Very impressive performance. Everytime you finish showering apply this to all infected nails. Within a few weeks all the redness goes away, then in a few
more months the nail started to clear – almost completely. I recommend emoni nail to anyone else who suffered like I did for 10+ years of nail fungus.

Nail Fungus Symptom Development (User Submitted Photos)
Early Signs and Symptoms
As the condition is generally not painful, paying attention to any change in appearance and texture on your nail that may help you detect the problem early on.
Nail discoloration
Changes in the nail’s color might be the first sign of the presence of fungus on your nail.
White, yellow, or dark-colored spots may appear on or under your nail (proximal onychomycosis); or you might notice flaking white areas on the nail’s surface. In other cases, white, yellow, or brown streaks or lines may occur on the nail (lateral onychomycosis) or the whole nail turns white, yellow, brown, green, or black.
Change in nail’s texture/shape
Changes in the nail’s texture may include pitting of the nails, characterized by depressions on the nail’s surface and scaling under the nail (subungual hyperkeratosis).
The nail may curve in on the sides, take on an unusual shape, and become thickened at the center — making it difficult to trim.
Brittleness
The corner or tip of the nail may crumble (distal onychomycosis), making pieces break off easily.
Severe Signs and Symptoms
As the infection progresses, other symptoms may start manifesting, such as:
Unpleasant odor:
a foul odor emanates from the affected nail.
Chipping off:
the tips of the nail might break or chip off, causing jagged edges. Upper layers of the nail might start peeling off.
Loss of nails:
in more severe cases, a condition called onycholysis occurs, wherein the infected nail disengages from the nail bed and leads to the partial or total loss of the nail.
Decayed/diseased nails:
the infection promotes the decay of the nail.
