Q: What's the difference between this product and Formula 2? Will it make that much of a difference? I have always bitten my nails due to stress and then it's become a habit. I want healthy pretty nails.
submitted by shannonsfchef - 2 years ago
A: I have a history of nail biting, too. My solution for stopping is to always have my nails covered with some product -- either this one or gel nail polish.
submitted byAustinana - 3 months agoA: Formula 2 Plus® is an option for those who have used Formula 2 for at least six weeks without color polish and have excessive problem nails.

Q: is this product an oil that you paint on or is it hard like a polish
submitted by wanda - 6 years ago
A: You can wear as just a clear polish; I do 2 or 3 coats. Or I use 2 coats as a base coat, 1 or 2 coats of colored nail polish, and then use this as 1 coat for topcoat (in a day this will oxidize your color making it a bit darker). Better than acrylic nails if your nails peel from too much pool time or if you are a salt water diver. Will make your nails bullet proof.
submitted byCrazy Mary - 6 years agoA: Dries quick to a shine and hard like a polish. The best product I have ever used for my peeling nails.

submitted by Samantha - 10 months ago

Q: Is this the same product as NailTek?
submitted by ea - 1 year ago
A: No. I've used both products and Nailtique has worked much better.
submitted byT - 1 year ago
Q: How often can you use Nailtiques?
submitted by Kele - 4 years ago
A: Hi Kele! Apply daily. As nails respond, decrease application. Once nails have improved, return to Formula 2 until desired results are achieved. Hope this helps!

After taking off gel polish for wearing 4 years straight , my nails were weak and a mess. This adds strength and cover up ridges on my nails. Great product. Bought on recommendation from gf who took off her dip polish. Highly recommend

Nailtiques works to make your natural nails grow and helps to keep them from breaking. As long as you use it as directed, you can have 10 great nails at the same time.

This protein formula helps polish stay on longer while helping your nails to rebuild from acrylic or gel x nails. Be patient and you will see a big difference. The picture is after 2 weeks of using the protein formula after taking off my gel x nails
Great product, leaky bottle. Does not travel well.

5 stars for the formula, 1 star for the packaging. Honestly, the formula is everything for my brittle nails. It’s the best nail strengthener I’ve been able to find. However, I travel a lot for work and fun, so I need to bring my nail strengthened with me. Unfortunately, this bottle does not travel well. Although it’s the ideal size for travel, I’ve had THREE different bottles leak in my bag. The first because the cap was faulty: the outer cap separated from the inner cap, so unbeknownst to me it wasn’t screwed on well. The other two simply leaked everywhere due to pressure changes - once on an airplane and once on a drive with elevation change. As you can imagine, it made an annoying mess - not to mention at $12 for a quarter oz, it was a huge waste of money. I’m super disappointed because I love the product but it sadly doesn’t fit my lifestyle if it’s going to keep leaking everywhere.
This actually works!

Been using this nail protein for a couple on weeks now and it is the only thing that helps my nails grow! I used to get fake nails put on and it ruined my natural nail. This is finally bringing them back to life!

I have the same problem with Nailtiques 2 and also 2 Plus, which is that both formulas start peeling on the third day. I take great care of my nails, always wearing dishwashing gloves and not using as tools. I followed the exact instructions, tried several times and no matter what - they both start peeling on the third day. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of one is that my nails look nice the first 2 days.

I have had brittle nails my entire life. They break off, split, and won’t grow. I have tried everything - every strengthening polish available, every type of polish, every type of cuticle oil, vitamins, etc. Nothing has helped at all. When I tried Nailitiques, I had three fingers on each hand that were broken down to the quick and bled painfully every day. It’s been about a month of using Nailitiques and my nails have all grown out and look the best they literally have in my entire life. I absolutely cannot get over how good they look - and that I can use them for things like opening cans! This has legit changed my life. I never had any of the burning or pain others describe in their reviews. It goes on like regular polish and dries quickly. I am blown away and so so happy with it.

I have only been using for about 3 weeks. It seems to be helping condition of my nails. Since they seem stronger. I have two complaints about this product. 1. The brush definitely needs to be longer. It requires constantly turning the bottle to get liquid onto the brush. 2. By the time you have used 3/4 of the bottle, the solution becomes much thicker and more difficult to spread. resulting in a somewhat bumpby finish.

Wow, this stuff works right away. Since applying it daily, I haven’t had one nail flake, break or snap off. Game changer for someone with thin nails or if you have to wash your hands constantly.

Nailtiques Nail Protein is a great product. Before using this product my nails were soft and tearing off at the nail bed. I have only used it for a week but it has strengthened my nails and stopped the breakage and tearing, giving my nails a chance to grow. It's a life saver.
Love the formula but...

Literally a tiny amount of polish in a mini bottle for the price you would pay for an Indie brand strengthener. Works great but is unaffordable to keep using it and should come in a larger bottle with a better brush.
Great!!

This stuff is amazing. It really works. I have two nails that kept splitting vertically and I could not grow them out last ten years. No more splitting with this! And it makes them shiny with lovely white tips. My colleague the other day said “I’ve never seen you with your nails so long!” Definitely give this stuff a try!! I love it

One of fingernails has been splitting for over a year. I tried vitamins without luck. Some of my younger friends were Ravi g about it at a party so I got it. No nail polish I’ve ever used has lasted so long without chipping or peeling. It’s literally all I wear now.

I love this product!It really strengthens your nails.I used other products before and honestly this one is the only one that helps my nails.The only complaint is after a few uses it really thickens up and you can’t use it anymore so is a waste of product and money.
