"I did not get Tue foundation I got Pure instead on all the bottles I ordered, I sent an email and did not get replied, I contacted by IG and sent another email and still not received any answer. I know I am not one of the nail techs that buy more products or one of the ones in all events but I still deserve to be heard if I have a problem with my order or my products. If I picked True Foundation is because this product doesn't give heat spikes to my clients while the product I had sent in my order does. The bad heat spikes impacted my business so I don't want that to happen again and as small businesses every order for me is an effort. Thank you."
