It's on many websites, for less than $10.
It's a nails gel product that doesn't have to dry under ultra light like the ones used in salons.

Manufacturer states that it should be applied every day for best results.

Do you do your nails daily?

I did at first but I don't need to now.
It's the formula 2 protein I used. The other things aren't the same. It's not called a gel.

I am talking about the formula 2, ingredients say protein and GEL.

I love Nailtiques. It's so easy to apply and dries in a flash. My nails grow so well when I use it. $10 for a quarter ounce kind of puts me off, although I think it is well worth it (gelatin or not). I never tried Formula 2, but I will look for it next time. Maybe I can get it at BB&B with a coupon.

I use it also. About once a week. Definitely not every day! I've found that it's a little cheaper at CVS

Agreeing that it is a good product.

I've been having trouble with my nails splitting.

Someone said that it helps if one eats gelatin from time to time.

Does anyone know whether there's some truth to that ... or is there quite a lot of baloney mixed in with that story?

I like this product and really feel it helps. I use the formula 2. It is expensive but I use it up, unlike other polishes that I have bought and only use a few times. Amazon and Walgreens carry it also

Thank you for posting about this, joanne_fla!!!

First, olejoyful, I believe that ingesting knox gelatin completely improved my nails. I used it for that *many* years ago!!! I was a kid who bit my nails. My neighbor kept giving me knox gelatin, saying it would make me stop biting them. She'd add it to orange juice or whatever. I not only stopped biting my nails, I had fingernails that all other women envied. Everyone asked if they were real.

Fastforward: I completely abuse my hands and nails. I use my nails as tools both in the garden and in the house, and have hands in water too much, so there has been constant nail damage. I've used this Nailtiques Formula 2 for just over a week, and have forgotten to apply it some of those days, but my nails look and feel great!

Excellent product. Thanks again!

Problem with this product is that you have to keep applying it to keep those stronger nails your nails grow out.
Nails are dead skin, as they grow out the new growth will be what your body creates.
Drinking Knox gelatin works because it is absorbed by the body and new nail growth is stronger.

you do NOT have to keep reapplying it, after you do it a week or so you will see a big difference. As your nails harden you will only need to use it as needed. My nails are the longest they have ever been. I have only bought 2-3 bottles in a year. I apply it whenever I feel I need it now.

Glad it worked for you!
I don't have that problem yet :)

I'm using it now and I think it is helping. On the other hand, my nails aren't as icky in the summer as they are in winter. Summer's coming!! Am I supposed to remove previous coats or just keep going over them? I wasn't doing it every day but it is starting to be a coat of polish.

lov_mkitchen... If I remember right I believe the bottle says to apply a coat every day for 7 days, then remove and start over

I noticed there is a Nailtiques Protein II AND a Protein II Plus, maybe the II plus formula has gel in it.

I have used Nailtiques II and Nail-Tek II over the years and I actually like Nail-Tek II better. You can get it at Sally's Beauty Supply.

thanks for sharing....I need something for my peeling nails.

They are a lot better than they used to be since I started taking calcium pills

but they peel every now and then until they are nearly paper thin.
