Nailtiques Formula 2. Treatment for soft, peeling, thin nails.

I have very soft nails that break easily, split peel and chip, I have been using Nailtique formula 2+ because of the poor condition of my nails, they are now strong, they are the longest they have been in years. I have always used Nailtiques but as we know it hasn’t been easy to get, so I bought this “for now” BUT after using it for several weeks I find it is even better than Nailtiques. My nails are long & strong. & unlike Nailtiques, it doesn’t feel off after a couple of coats. I’m very pleased with Protein Formular 2 & will continue to use the products in this range. Well done Clare Q: I have been really happy with Protein Formula 2 but now my nails have gone quite hard and started to get little splits in them? A: It is important that once your nails have reached optimum health that you move onto the Formula 1 as this is the correct formulation for healthy nails and will prevent nails from turning brittle or too soft. With added Biotin and PHA’s (Poly Hydroxy Acid). Biotin is a B vitamin, it helps strengthen brittle nails. PHA’s provide a dose of natural moisture to the nail.pinkish colour and a light sheen to the nail surface. This is the type of nails we should be aiming for. These nails require the correct balance of conditioners and protein to maintain the health of the nail. With added AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) and Hexanol (plant keratin). AHA’s provide a dose of natural moisture to the nail. Hexanol is a natural and sustainable element derived from plants, it promotes growth and flexibility in the nail. Aim to get all nails onto Protein Formula 1. I need to use it for a while to see if it does what it says it will. At the moment however it seems ok. I want sure if it was going to be like a nail varnish or an oil type of thing. It's actually like a varnish which sadly when I'm sad I peel off. However if I can leave it alone and let it do is stuff it should be ok. It goes on well and smells ok so fingers crossed it will help with my splits and flaking that I bought it for.
