What is the differance between

Nailtiques Formula 2 Plus

Formula 2 nail protein

Formula 2 Nail growth formula

I've just removed my acrylics and am using Julep and do not like it at all.

Would like to try the Nailtiques but don't know which one to get.

Help!

A little off topic. It when I removed my acrylics, I chose Citra formula 2 over Nailtiques, at the suggestion of my manicurist, and within 3 days my nails were strong again

Ulta. You might be able to get it at CVS or Walgreens. Not sure. But I get mine at Ulta. I still use it every other manicure as my base coat.

Nailtiques did nothing for me except get thick in the bottle and I tossed it. I recommend Sally Hansen Miracle Growth, gold bottle, gold top.

Jamma I've been using Formula 2 for probably 20 years. That one is for soft thin nails.

2 Plus is if you have real problems and 2 isnt working. I have used that in the past when I couldn't get my hands on the regular 2.

Most people use 2 and then go down to 1 when their nails are in good shape. I've never bothered to do that. I think I only followed the directions for a week and then I just went to using it as a base coat.

I used to be a terrible nail biter and even after I stopped my nails would only grow a little and they would be almost clear they were so thin. This was the only thing that ever worked for me.

If you go to their website it shows the different formulations and a description. It doesn't really go into great detail except to say that the formula 2 is for soft, peeling, weak nails and the 2 plus is for excessive problem nails.

I just noticed they have an after artificial nail care set for $20. Maybe this will help you out.

Maybe a little early, but..... I used Nailtiques Formula 2 for about a year. Honestly, it saved my peeling, cracking nails and I high recommend it for a short amount of time. All of a sudden, the Nailtiques quit working for me. I gave my nails a month's rest and started using it again, but it made my nails even worse. For a few months, it worked great. After that, not so much.

@tototwo Verifies exactly what I was going to say to @Jamma. There's a reason why the instructions for nail hardeners/strengtheners indicate a limit in how long you should use them. Excessive use will mAake the nails too hard and brittle. They may appear stronger, but as the nail plate reaches and rows past the end of the nail bed, it will easily break and peel.

@Jamma If the main issue is that your nails are thin, it's most likely due to overfiling by your nail tech (which is more common than one would expect, as is damage from improper removal). Unfortunately, it takes several months for new nail to reach the edge. Anything you buy over the counter (or in a salon) should not be claiming to make your nails grow faster (that would make it fall in the "medication" category, with different regulations). However, some things may help in decreasing the amount of breakage, thus allowing your nails to grow longer. If your nails are truly "soft," use of a nail hardener/strengthener may help. A good quality cuticle oil will also help quite a bit.

The only thing that helped my splittting ,cracking and breaking nails was getting a good vitamin pill that I take daily and that is what really helped. None of the products that you buy in the store will reallly help in the long run. It actuaully starts with internal health. That is what helped me. God Luck!
