I have always had soft, peeling and spiting nails and actually use 2+ frequently. I F2+ on and off for over 10 years without any problems and I have never encountered anyone with problems such as this.

If you read the directions on the Nailtiques website you would have never developed this problem because you would have used Formula 3!

I realize your intent was to help, but this thread should not be titled a "warning" since if you had read the instructions, you would have never had this problem.

I am concerned this thread will scare way people who genuinely need Formula 2!

And I am concerned for you. this type of nail problem may indicate a medical contion and not be a result of nailtiques at all but simply starting nailtiques at the same time as this problem began.

If I were in your you position I would make an appointment with my derm and if I didn't have one, my PCP.

annacat is 100% right. OP, you were using the wrong formula. You can not blame the product. Those of you with nails that are soft, peeling, splitting etc., this product is amazing. I had thee most pathetic nails for years. Not sure where I even heard about this product but I bought the smallest bottle available. I've hardly made a dent in the teeny bottle and my nails are SO much stronger. And they grow! I can actually paint my nails now! I highly recommend this product but please check their website to make sure you are buying the correct formula.

I'm reading the box that my Nailtiques formula 2 comes in & it states, "Nail Protein", "For Soft, Peeling, Bitten, Weak or Thin Nails.

It lists itself as a nail protein not a hardener & also says it's for all these things and uses the word "or" not "and" which is why I purchased it for peeling.

I also just reread the pamphlet insert & nowhere does it say do not use for just peeling if you have strong nails.

I did my best folks at reading before buying & using, but sometimes there is still a problem.

Again, I hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Oh, great idea. I didn't think of using that & I already have it in.

If you don't mind me asking, how bad was your nail separation & how are your nails now?

No, but I'll repost with any updates.

Thanks, but at this time I do believe it to be the Nailtiques 2 that has caused my nails to lift from their nail beds. I'll keep you & everyone else that reads my post updated.

I ordered Formula 2 last night. I am having peeling and splitting so it is the right formula for me. At least right now.

I have that same condition on one of my nails( from using nail glue for a torn nail) and developed a fungus/yeast infection under the raised nail. My derm suggested soaking my nail in a solution of 1 tb. vinegar and water, ten minutes, twice a day. The infection is gone and the nail is slowly reattaching.

Hope this helps.
