So far this seems to be a good dupe for Nailtiques formula 2. I purchased it on clearance at Sally's and I hope it's not discontinued! I'll update my progress in a few months!

I love this product. I have thin, brittle, very breakage-prone nails from years of biting them. Barielle's Nail Rebuilding Protein keeps my nails from breaking, or peeling. It has given me the...

In comparison to other strengthening basecoats I've tried, this one ranks below only nailtiques formula 2, which is HG status. It works better than nailtek, and much better than the cheap DS...

So far so good... I was looking for a base coat to repair the damage done to my nails by using Orly Bonder (discoloration, flaking and peeling), and this seems to working. Works acceptably as a...

I love this stuff! So many strengtheners and proteins seem to have formaldehyde in them, which makes my nails peel badly. This has none of that. It doesn't peel right off my nails and leaves a...

Excellent product for creating strong nails. Do remember to alternate this product with a moisturizing product - too much protein can actually give you brittle nails (and hair too for that matter)....

Nailboarder confession time: I can never tell whether products that claim to make my nails stronger or harder are working. Part of the problem is that I can't bother with doing an even...

This isn't a HG for me, but it is the best nail-strengthening/ topcoat-type product I've tried. It does chip/peel around the end of my nails if I'm working a lot with my hands, but it has more...

So, you need a treatment for thin peeling nails that really works and you don't have to apply a coat of every freeking day? So, you need a basecoat that dries hard, fills ridges and polish really...

Does a fabulous job strengthening your nails. It's similar to Nailtiques - however, the Barielle doesn't peel the way Nailtiques does.

This is great for natural nails. It dried quickly so I could apply a top coat (or polish). Does not chip or peel (in conjunction with Barielle Top Coat). My HG nail treatment. Will buy again.

This stuff is the best topcoat ever. It makes your nails look like they were dipped in glass. My nails still do break once in a while, but I have no doubt this strengthens them. You can feel the...
