Nail Tek Intensitive Therapy II With Free Foundation II (Size.5x2) by Nail Tek

This stuff is phenomenal. I wish I had known about it years ago! My nails are generally a little soft but not prone to peeling but I'm always catching the edge of my nail and it wants to tear close to the bed... a painful thing to have to grow out too! Slap on a coat or two of this polish and the nail grows out until you want to cut/trim it. I tore my small fingernail a week ago but you'd never know because the tear is not visible beneath the coating. I wash dishes, do crafts, clean, etc... and the tear is invisible and strong. Highly recommend!

I’ve always has very thin, weak, peely nails. Even with nail polish I could only have very short nails until I started using this stuff. Now I use it regularly. When I take off polish I put on a coat, then a second one after approx. ten minutes. The two coats harden quickly and nails are already much harder. The next day I add another coat or two (It looks like shiny clear nail polish) and by this time my nails are SOOO much harder. On the third day I may or may not put another coat before polishing my nails with color. The next day I put on a top coat and after that my nails last for weeks —-sometimes over a month if I topcoat them periodically—-and they get so long that I have to keep filing them so they don’t get too long! PLUS this product makes colored polish go on much more smoothly for a beautiful smooth look and texture to the nails; it is indispensable in my book. (And nobody paid me to write this!)

My absolute favorite nail strengthener and top coat. I recommend it a solid 10.

For over twenty years I paid, twice a month to have acrylic nails put on JUST so I would have some kind of nails. My nails were so soft, weak, they split, broke, even shredded. During covid lock down, the acrylics came off - my nails were worse than ever. I began trying any and everything I could find on the Internet just to make my nails healthy again. Nothing worked. When everything opened up again, I went back to the salon and had them use gel polish - they were still soaking my nails in acetone and grinding the polish off every two weeks. My nails were no better. A friend suggested the Nail Tek line - I decided to try it as it was the one thing I hadn't tried. O.M.G. what an amazing product - not immediately, and you have keep up with it but it truly works .... Here's what I do ... Take off all polish, shape nails with a GLASS nail file, put on two coats of Nail Tek 2 ridge filler, followed by one coat of Nail Tek 2 strengthener, followed by the color of your choice, followed by a top coat of strengthener. (If not using color, put on two coats of strengthener for clear, clean nails) Each day put on another clear coat of strengthener (it dries really quickly). I have had my color last as long as two weeks. Remove with non acetone polish remover. It is amazing! I know it sounds like a lot of work but it's worth it when I consider how long I sat in those chairs at nail salons and how much $$ I spent. Trust me, this is the ONLY thing that has worked for me. I'm beyond thrilled.

2 stars down from 5. Very noticeably thinner, watery product accompanies the new packaging. Only one coat of the thick and durable product was needed previously; now it goes on like a top coat and peels at edges after 2 applications. It would have been preferable for the manufacturer to have reduced the volume rather than the quality, if it had to do one or the other. The product is no longer worth the price. 👎
