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 - 3 years ago

  • A: 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.

    submitted byAmanda T - 3 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 - 1 year ago

Q: is this product an oil that you paint on or is it hard like a polish

submitted by wanda - 7 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 - 7 years ago

  • A: Dries quick to a shine and hard like a polish. The best product I have ever used for my peeling nails.

Q: My toenails are thick and look like white and dried out would Nailtiques help

submitted by Vivian - 6 months ago

  • A: That sounds like symptoms of nail fungus, you may want to get that checked out. Otherwise, Formula 3 is made for brittle nails prone to breakage. This formula (2 Plus) is for weak, thin nails.

    submitted byLucy - 5 months ago

Q: The instructions say to use every other day. Do you remove before reusing, or just paint over?

submitted by Valley Girl - 1 year ago

  • A: Hi there! You can paint over the existing formula.

    You would think for as expensive as this tiny bottle of nail product is they could have a decent brush that doesn’t have bristles all askew straight out of the bottle the first time you use it.

    Great product

    My nails were going through a rough time because who knows the weather getting cold and then warm but I also work with chemicals being cosmetologist. I used this and my nails came back very quickly I used it every other day and my nails right now are the longest and strongest they've been and if they need to be probably freshly polished but they still look great

    I have always had flimsy nails until I found this. I haven’t been able to grow my nails long in years. I highly recommend this strengthener.

    Nails are sooo strong now! Wow!!! I put 2-3 coats and it’s lasts for days and my nails feel strong than when I used to use gel. I am no longer going to use dip powder or gels and this is a game changer for me! After destroying my nails with dip and gel, this made them so strong.

    This really works!

    I've never had such healthy nails...no splits, no peeling, no ridges, no longer soft or thin nails. Initialy, I applied one coat per day for 5 days, new coat over the previous. I removed after the first week and have been using this product as a base coat each color polish change. I'm very pleased with this product.

    One of the best nail treatments out there!

    This is definitely one of the best nail strengtheners out there. It can be hard to find sometimes so I like to make sure I grab a couple bottles when I can. You're only supposed to use this version until your nails improve, and then switch to one of the other others. One of the things I like the most about this nail strengthener is that it doesn't peel off easily like some do, and I can wear one or two coats for a few days without it peeling off even when I wash my hands a ton.

    Best for your nails!

    I’ve been using this for quite a while because it really makes my finger nails & toe nails stronger & harder & helps them to grow! I always wear it when my nails are naked & as a topcoat over my Color Street (100% nail polish) it helps to make them even more shiny and makes the polish last longer! I totally recommend to anyone who has soft nails & has difficulty getting them to grow out!!

    Strong

    I love this. Formula 2 has made such a huge difference in the overall strength and durability of my nails. I used to break them constantly which was a huge disappointment since I love painting my own natural nails and they always used to look so short and pathetic. They would grow a little bit but they were so thin and brittle that I would break them almost immediately as soon as they got any length to them. I've been using Formula 2 for about 6 months and the difference from when I started using it to now is night and day. My nails are stronger, more durable, and less prone to breaking. It works as a perfect base coat underneath nail polish but obviously you can use it all by itself. I've even gotten my mom hooked on it! I definitely recommend this to anyone who struggles with weak nails.

    Nailtiques formuka 2

    I purchased and was excited bc of all the great reviews AND after researching, saw it was the best nail help, rated number one! After I applied, it wasn’t drying???? When I tried to contact nailtiques, (formula 2) to ask why, I saw company has closed????? The price is expensive, for a small bottle! It’s unfortunate! Wish they wouldn’t sell product if you like/love when company is no longer in business? Was excited to get help with nails and was willing to pay the amount, but disappointed with drying time and stickiness but very upset about company out of business????
