28th January 2022 – Exciting update, I will have the new Protein Formulas for Nails range mid next week! You can pre order and pay on my website now, follow this link. Click here for new Protein Formula for Nails.
Why is nailtiques out of stock – where can I buy in the UK? Unfortunately you will not be able to buy Nailtiques Formula 2 protein nail care treatment easily in the UK. Why? Nailtiques is manufactured in Florida USA and the plant was destroyed in a hurricane in the spring of 2019. I emailed nailtiques for an explanation and this is from their reply ‘Nailtiques is still recovering after experiencing a total loss’. Stock gradually dried up over the summer with the last delivery into the UK distributor Grafton International at the end of January 2020. Grafton now believe it is very unlikely they will have nailtiques again.
December 2021 – Find out the truth about nailtiques and why it won’t be back.
Register for the new PROTEIN FORMULA product launch for January 2022. [email protected].
My name is Clare, I am a qualified beauty therapist and nail technician, my personal preference is to improve what nature gave you rather than hiding your nails under layers of acrylic or gel product. I have an online business www.lovelyhands.co.uk and I work closely with Graftons to ensure my customers, who are registered on my stock update list, have information and alternative products to use. If you would like to register please click here.
All highlighted text is a link to the product page where you can put products in your basket and check out.
Without nailtiques what can we do?
- Step 1 use an alternative treatment product – Orly or Jessica.
Working with Graftons and Gerrard International, lovely hands has listed 5 Orly products and 4 Jessica products to offer treatment and care whilst nailtiques is not available. Please find an Orly or Jessica product for each nailtiques protein formula below.
- Nailtiques Formula 1, healthy nails – Jessica Reward – Orly Nail Defense or Orly Breathable Protein Boost
- Nailtiques Formula 2, soft, peeling, thin nails – Orly Nailtrition Can also use Orly Nail Defense or the new Orly breathable products, Orly Breathable Protein Boost, or Orly Breathable Calcium Boost.
- Nailtiques Formula 2, Jessica routine;
- Alternative products to Nailtiques Formula 2 and Formula 2 plus – Jessica offer a 3 step product progression to turn soft, weak, peeling nails into strong, flexible, resilient nails.The manufacturer recommends progressing up and down the following steps to suit the stage your nail/s are at. All weak and soft nails should start by being introduced the mildest Jessica strengthening formula first and then see if that suffices or if you need more, later. Why is this the Jessica nail treatment philosophy? A weak / soft nail needs to be improved, each formula offers different and progressive benefits. Build the nail back to strength and resilience gradually for better, long term results.
Step 1 – Jessica Restoration – mild / medium strengthener, fine for long term use to maintain results
Step 2 – Jessica Fusion – medium/ strong strengthener, fine for long term use to maintain results
Step 3 – Jessica Critical Care – very strong strengthener, for a boost, not long term use. It is not advisable to start with this product.
- Nailtiques Formula 2 Plus, Protein treatment for excessive problem nails (post gel or acrylic treatments) Orly Breathable Calcium Boost or Orly Nailtrition used intensively, or the Jessica routine as above.
- Nailtiques Formula 3, dry, hard, brittle, split nails – Orly Tough Cookie or Orly Breathable Calcium Boost
- Step 2 use nail oil or cream daily.
Lovely hands now stocks Orly Cuticle Therapy Creme, and Badger Cuticle Care Balm as well as a full range of nail oils. Click here for the full range.
The other important product to ensure your nails are at their best is a good quality nail oil. Think of nail oil the same way as using conditioner on your hair or moisturiser on your skin. Whilst the nail is over the nail bed (the pink bit) it is receiving moisture and oils from the skin tissue below, when the nail grows longer, creating the free edge (the white bit) the nail will rely on you to treat it well and keep it protected. Applying nail oil is easy, a very small drop placed on each nail and rubbed in over a bare or varnished nail twice a day will really benefit your nails. The massaging action is beneficial as it stimulates the circulation to the area which brings nutrients. Your nails should be touch dry in 5 mins, if they are not then use less oil next time.
Why does nail oil benefit nails? Nails naturally contain oil, just as the skin does, you are just supplementing this natural oil to replace what is lost every time you wash your hands. Nail oils are made from pressed nuts and seeds and the molecular size is so tiny that they can penetrate the nail surface, even through varnish or gel polish. Oil penetrates the nail and improves condition, flexibility and resilience. Nails do not need to be hard they need to be strong and flexible.
- Using nail oil intensively.
I have had a few people ask for extra help with their nails and I have recommended taking a break from all treatment products for 2-4 weeks and just applying and massaging in nail oil 4 times a day. By having no barrier product on the nail the oil will absorb more readily, you will see a nice sheen and lustre develop over the days and will notice how silky your nails feel to the touch. Nail oil can be applied behind the free edge to absorb right where it is needed. Your nails will start to look and feel so good you might want to just use oil and not need to use treatment products.
These are my nails, 11 April 2021, I have just used nail oil about 4x per day for 1 year, since the first lockdown. My nails look and feel great. They are strong, flexible and resilient. The only other thing I do is take the HSN supplements and wear gloves for everything as per info I share below.
- Step 3 use a quality nail file and cuticle pusher.
Keeping the nail edge smooth and a nice even shape and ensuring the cuticle area is clear and nicely shaped is a weekly activity. Lovely hands has a professional nail file and wooden cuticle pusher for £1.50
If your nails are catching and tearing, creating a split then I recommend using and carrying with you a professional nail file with a fine 240 grit. If your nails are the right length for your lifestyle and have smooth edges then they will not catch. Nails that have this tendency tend to need nail oil and nailtiques Formula 3 or Orly Tough Cookie. This type of nail is dry and brittle and needs moisture and conditioners added regularly. Quite often the nail is reacting to changing hormone levels or medication and it needs TLC.
- Step 4 support for split nails.
Split nails – if your nails are splitting then all of the above steps apply in trying to improve nail condition and preventing it happening in the future. To help support a torn nail I have used silk and / or micropore tape. I get the silk or micropore cut to size beforehand, I apply 1 coat of nailtiques, Orly, or Jessica whilst it is drying apply the sticky side of the silk or tape and slide into place. Let it dry and paint another coat of nailtiques, Orly or Jessica over the top to seal it. It is pretty much invisible after it has product covering it. If you can get the nailtiques / Orly / Jessica product into the split then do, either by gently lifting the split, or by making it a bit wider with thin cotton or floss. Be very careful and gentle with your nail.
I found washing my hair was the greatest cause preventing a nail split healing, because a strand of hair can easily get caught in a nail split and open it further. I now wash my hair wearing nitrile gloves to prevent strands of hair damaging my healed nail splits. The gloves are 30p a pair.
- Step 5 improve your nutrition.
Nails, like our skin and hair do show the effects of changes in our health and diet, especially as we get older. Nails benefit from supplementation of silica and biotin, both of these ingredients can be found in natures aid Hair, Skin & Nails formula. This supplement will benefit your nails if they are peeling, flaking, splitting or very dry and brittle and tear easily. Supplements build the nail from the inside making them more resilient, nail strength and flexibility can be significantly improved this way.
- Step 6 wear gloves for everything.
I wear Maxiflex active gloves for dry housework and any fetching and carrying, again to give my hands and nails protection. I wear Showa Temres 281’s for wet housework to keep water and chemicals away from my nails and skin.
I hope this information has helped, if you would like any assistance feel free to email me and I will get back to you.

Kerry 25 Nov 19, nailtiques formula 2. Lovely Hands are aptly named!!! ❤️ The owner, Clare, has been such a little sweetheart! I ordered Nailtiques Formula 2 protein strengthener and due to production issues within Nailtiques production line, I had an extremely long wait to get it!!
However, Clare at Lovely Hands gave me regular detailed communication updates via email (complete with her great sense of humour) on the progress of my order and has honestly been nothing short of fabulous! She also recommended other brands similar to Nailtiques in case I wanted to change my order, she kept me posted on Nailtiques progress (with their product production) and formed an organised queueing system for her customers so that the orders were dealt with in the correct order of purchase! Fabulous! I simply cannot find any fault here!!! If only more businesses were like this!! Thank you to Clare at Lovely Hands! My products have just arrived and it was worth the wait. Five stars all the way! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ xxx
Pamela 25.11.19 nailtiques formula 2. Some of you may have heard of the difficulty in obtaining Nailtiques products. This company, Lovely Hands, and in particular Clare Wiseman, have gone out of their way to help their customers who were waiting for their orders. Clare has kept us up to date with emails and offered suggestions for alternatives, also refunding money if necessary. I cannot fault the service I have received and would give it 10 stars if I could.
Iris 25.11.19 nailtiques formula 2. Thank you Clare. I’m so pleased you could finally obtain my product. I know It has been very difficult To get hold of. You have kept me informed of developments and I’m very impressed by everything. I will be ordering again and highly recommend your company to everyone. Thanks again x
Jan 26.11.19 nailtiques formula 2. I cannot praise Clare at Lovely Hands enough. Like others I ordered Nailtiques products which were out of stock. Clare’s honesty on dealing with the situation and her offers of alternative products/refunds was so refreshing. She kept me up to date with emails on where I was in the waiting list and throughout offered a very personal and extremely efficient service. It has been so refreshing in today’s internet world to deal with a real person who cares about her customers.
Jean 26.11.19 nailtiques formula 2. Excellent service. Thank you
Elaine 28.11.19 nailtiques F2. Absolutely brilliant customer service. There was a stock problem and at each step of the process, Claire kept us informed. I could have had a refund but was quite happy to wait and I am delighted with my order (Nailtiques 2). There are very few businesses today who offer such prompt and detailed updates when you place an order. Will definitely be ordering again. P.S…I am on my hubby’s computer…Many thanks..Elaine

Helen Orly nail defense Oct 2019, queuing for nailtiques F2. Hello Clare I just wanted to say thank you for the prompt receipt of my Orly product. I was delighted to receive it so quickly as I have been struggling with my nails since not being able to get hold of my usual Nailtiques. As soon as I opened my package I applied the Orly product, & even though it has only been a few hours, they already feel better!!
So thank you for your caring message & personal message too, I can already tell you care about your customers, & this is rare in today’s times! So, feel free to publish my review as & when. I would give you 10 stars if given the choice!
Incidentally, I am thrilled that the Orly product is quite a bit cheaper than the Nailtiques equivalent. This is a big bonus for me! Thank you again.

Susie, 2.12.19 Orly Nailtrition. Great service from Clare who recommended this in place of Nailtiques No 2 which is currently unavailable. I’ve only been using for a few days but so far so good. My nails had started to split and peel again, but already they feel stronger.

Lisa Tomkinson (verified owner) – January 6, 2020
Orly Nailtrition – excellent customer service. I was recommended to use this in place of nailtiques, which is currently unavailable. I use it together with the nail defence and I think I prefer it. it stays on the nails longer and has a really nice pink sheen. my nails are in really good condition, and the bottle is larger and the brush longer than nailtiques. plus its cheaper.
Orly Nail defense – I have been using this product along with the nailtrition for about a month. this as a base layer then a layer of nailtrition and finish with this as a top coat. my nails are in really good condition and I prefer it to nailtiques. it stays on longer and it is also cheaper and a larger bottle.
Gill. 12.11.19. Orly Tough Cookie. Fantastic customer Care fromClare.
First time I have ordered from you.
You went to so much trouble to offer me an alternative to Naitiques.
Liking the Orly product while I wait for Nailtiques to come back in stock .?

Linda. 10.10.19 Orly nail defense. After exhausting website looking for Nailtiques I stumbled across Lovely Hands and Clare. I called to see if they had Naiktiques and Clare explained in great detail the problem with supplies at this time. She recommended an alternative for me to try meantime if I so wished and I agreed to take her advice and placed my order.
I am delighted to say my order arrived next day and I started using it straight and have to agree it is a great alternative.
I’m very grateful to Clare for taking the time to explain everything to me and I felt as though nothing was a problem for her.
Great company and fantastic customer service.

KS. 30.1.20 nailtiques F2. Lovely Hands has exceptional service. I purchased a product that was out of stock for a few months due to manufacturing problems and Clare kept me informed, offered alternatives and looked after me as a client. I don’t ever write reviews but when you get this level of service, it is definitely worth sharing!
Good day, I want to thank you for the update on the Nailtiques & why we can’t get it. I am in the USA & no one is telling us what happened to the stock. I have an order in for over 3 months now & can’t get a reply from Nailtiques except to wait for an email on my order. Now I understand what happened to the stock & factory. At least I know why my order is taking so long to get. My nails are so bad now but you gave me hope & some product information I can get here in the states. Thanks again!

Using this until Nailtiques 2 is back in stock as this is the only product which really helps my nails grow well.
Marian nailtrition 17.2.2020. Have used this now for 7 days. Although the finish on my nails isn’t as shiny as with Formula 2, my nails haven’t crumbled or frayed at the edges like they were doing prior to treatment and the 2 most damaged ones have grown well. Definitely a viable alternative to Nailtiques. Very good customer service from Clare.
Louise Orly nail defense 19.2.2020. My second order with Clare, fantastic service. Thank you for suggesting I use Orly it’s a great alternative to nailtiques while they sort out their stock. I cannot thank you enough
Judith 1.3.2020. nailtrition. Great customer service, impressed at how quickly my order was processed and I received it.

The handwritten note from Clare was unexpected but appreciated, as was her advice following my initial email to her.

Katrina 8.4.2020. Orly Nail Defense. Hi Clare. I received my order of this today. Super excited to try it. I work in care, and am constantly washing and applying hand sanitiser to my hands, which have suffered greatly, as has my nails. I loved nailtiques formula 2, as that really heloed my nails so I am hoping this will have the same effect. I have to say that I am very impressed with your prompt service, and the handwritten note was such a lovely, perdonal touch. Something that is greatly lacking in these days of big corporate businesses. Thsnk you so much.
Judith. 17.4.2020. Orly nail defense. Thank you Clare for recommending Orly Nail Defense because Nailitiques Formula 2 is unavailable. I’ve been using it for about a week now and can already see an improvement in my nails.
Linda 17.4.2020 Orly nail defense. Thank you Clare for your expert advice for my nails, great to talk to someone who knows what they are talking about – personal attention.Your delivery is excellent, very quick. Thanks again.

Thank you Clare?
Sarah 25.4.2020. nail defense. Thank You Clare for recommending this product. It really is a great alternative to Nailtiques Formula 2! I’ve been using it now for a couple of weeks and i’m really pleased with the strength it is adding to my nails – it is as good if not better than formula 2. And a massive thank you to Clare for the speedy delivery given the current circumstances. Thank you very much.
Sinead. 10.5.2020. nailtrition. I ordered this based on Clare’s recommendation as Nailtiques is currently unavailable. As I live in Ireland I had to email Clare as the site would not accept my order. I have to say the customer service provided by Clare was fantastic. She came back to me with postage price to make sure I was happy with it, let me know when she posted my items and asked that I let her know I had received it. She also included a lovely handwritten note with my order. I only have been using the Nailtrition a few days but I can see my nails improving each day. I struggle to grow my nails as they split but this is the longest they have been in quite a while in such a short space of time. In the absence of Nailtiques this product is a great replacement and the customer service provided by Clare is exceptional.
Sue, 11.5.20. Nail Defense. Ordered as an alternative to Nailtiques Formula 2. Been using it for a couple of weeks now and really pleased with the results. Very impressed by the speedy service.
Lauren. 14.5.2020. nailtrition. My gel nails came off and i needed a really good recovery product for my weak, peeling nails. I had used Nailtique formular 2 many years ago and it was amazing but so difficult to buy. Noticed that on the website that Claire recommended Orly as an alternative so i purchased Orly Nailtrition.
As with Nailtique, you put a coat on daily for 1 week then take it off and repeat for a 2nd week. I am feeling really confident my nails will start to repair and become stronger
Ordered Monday afternoon, received it in Thursday morning, very quick efficient and personal service
Thank you x ?
Sue. 15.5.2020 nailtrition. i ordered Orly Nailtrition after being unable to buy Nailtique,and reading Clares’ suggested alternative.My order arrived very quickly,and i love the product! It has a lovely natural pink tint,and i think this is going to be my new best friend!
Excellent service,Thank you!
Heather 15.5.2020. nialtrition. Have previously used Nailtiques but struggled to find any. Went onto the lovely hands website and was offered an alternative for all of the three Nailtiques products I use. Really impressed with the customer service and the nice personal touch when I received my order. Will definitely be using lovely hands again for all my nail care products.
Shereen 20.5.2020. I purchased Nailtrition based on the advice by Clare as Nailtiques was out of stock. The order came really quickly and with a lovely handwritten note.
I wanted something that would help strengthen my nails after taking off SNS dipping powder. I’ve been using Nailtrition for 2 weeks and very happy with it. My nails appear strong and healthy. I’m so happy with it, that even when Nailtiques comes back in stock, I think I’ll stick with Nailtrition. Plus I prefer the ingredients. I can highly recommend and will purchase again.
Suzanne. 21.5.20. Nailtrition. Thankyou Clare, Fantastic speedy and efficient service. Lovely personalised message as well. I usually use nailtiques but trying nailtrition going on advice from lovely hands. Will definitely be buying from here again. Thankyou
Jill. April 2020. nailtrition. So pleased with my recent order. Clare really knows her stuff about her products. I have been using Nailtiques for years and you can’t get it at the moment. She suggested an Orly alternative and it’s brilliant! I have tried many others in the meantime which just didn’t work, I just wish I had found Lovely Hands and Clare sooner! Lovely personal touch with the order and I am completely satisfied with the products and the price. Can’t fault this company.
Susi May 2020. nail defense 7 nailtrition. Just received my two Orly products this morning – thank you.
Just wanted to say thanks for the info on Nailtechniques – I have been trying to source for ever!. Even seen a 7ml on Amazon for £99 !!!!
You are the only person who has explained the reason for the shortage and suggested an alternative. That is the reason I ordered from Lovely Hands.
Jules April 2020. nailtrition. The item I was originally looking for online has not been available for some time however on this site I was offered an alternative . My order arrived within 2 days with a hand written note to let me know I will be informed when the product I was originally looking for is back in stock. Well done Lovely hands for adding that personal touch xx
Dianne, May 2020. nailtrition. I have been trying to get Nailtiques not realising it was like gold dust. I found Clare’s website and the explanation for the shortages. I ordered another product that she recommended and it came in a couple of days along with a handwritten note to thank me for my order and the promise to let me know when Nailtiques would be back in stock. Nice wee touch that doesn’t take much but means a lot. Look forward to placing more orders in the future.
Anbreen 23.5.2020. Nail Defense. I usually use Nailtiques nail protein but was recommended Orly Nail Defence. I have only been using it for a few days and although it’s not Nailtiques, it does have a good shine and is better than many other products out there. Claire was really helpful and a pleasure to speak with. Product arrived promptly. Thanks.
Fiona. 1.6.2020. nailtrition. Bought this as an alternative to the Nailtiques Formula 2 as my nails are usually quite soft. Item delivered quickly with a lovely hand written note from Clare. The Orly is very faintly pink so gives a nice pearly sheen once applied, and, despite my best efforts in the garden to destroy them, my nails have grown and are strong. Great product – and thanks for the recommendation.
Julie. nail Defense 16.6.2020. was looking for nailtiques formula 2 and this was recommended by lovely hands as an alternative so decided to purchase, been using for a week and so far so good, nice size bottle and very quick drying, it does not flake or peel and what a good price too for an 18ml bottle.
very happy with this product.
I would also like to add that the delivery was second to none,great site to order from and i will be using again, i thought that the little hand written note that came with the product was a lovely touch also
Hayley. 18.6.2020. Orly nail defense. Great purchase. I stumbled across this website whilst looking for a nailtiques formula 1 alternative. After reading the reviews and the information provided by Clare on her website. I bought this for me and my mum to try. My mum is a week in of using it and is really pleased with the results so far! I am yet to try so cant say if I’ve been converted or not.
I received emails from clare so contact has been brilliant. It came through the post quickly too with a lovely little handwritten card, which was a nice touch.
So much trust and confidence buying from this website. I will certainly by back!
Amanda 2.7.2020. Tough Cookie. Love how Clare explains the alternatives you can use such a helpful website
Julie. 28.6.2020. I first used the Orly Nail Defence and Nailtrition on Claire’s recommendation as Nailtiques was out of stock. Never thought I’d say this but this is now my go to nail product. There’s something very tactile about the ridged top and long brush which makes application easier.
And if you’re a gardener do treat yourself to the Maxiflex Moisturising Gardening Gloves. Fabulous.
But the reason Lovelyhands stands out for me is Claire herself. She’ll go the extra mile to make sure the product you purchase is right for you.
Keep safe and well Claire.
Alyson. 8.7.2020 Orly Nail Defense. I have only been using this product for a week and seen a huge difference, normally use Nailtiques 2 but this is up there and cheaper. Clare is so helpful at advising alternatives and delivery was less than 24 hours later. First class service and second to none. Thank you Clare
Linda. 15.7.2020. Orly Nail Defense. I’m usually a “Nailtiques girl” and was dismayed when this was no longer available. Clare kindly contacted me and gave me alternatives and, as she is familiar with Nailtiques products, she knew exactly which preparation would be best for me.
After only two weeks of using Orly, my poor, split, damaged nails had grown and strengthened considerably. I will be using Orly in future. Thank you so much Clare, for taking the trouble to contact me and give me such good advice. It is much appreciated ?
Tracey 21.7.2020 Nailtiques Nail Moisturizer. I have really dry nails due to medication and have used Nailtique products for years . All thier products are fabulous for problem nails with fabulous results. This cream really does leave yr nails and cuticles super conditioned and moisturised when used regularly. Would definately recommend.
Lynn. 29.7.2020. orly nail defense. I’ve been searching for months, hoping that Nailtiques has come back on the market as my nails are peeling so much. Don’t know how I’ve managed to miss Lovely Hands website previously I read Clare’s update on Nailtiques and decided to try Orly as it was one of Clare’s recommendations. I have only applied it once so cannot comment on the long term benefit of helping my peeling nails but it is easy to apply, goes on evenly and gives a nice sheen to my nails. Thankyou Clare.
Helen. 2.8.2020. orly nail defense. I am so impressed with your customer care. I shall certainly be using your online shop again. The package arrived within 24 hours which considering we live in the Scottish Highlands is amazing! Thank you. I cannot comment on the product as it is for my Grand daughter who wants to have pretty nails! Thank you again for your personal note, it is much appreciated.
Polly. 11.8.2020. nail defense. I have to say that Nailtique will always be my favourite. However as this will no longer be available I must say that Orly is my new goal to’ product. I have tried numerous nail strengtheners and Orly is the best of the bunch. I prefer the clear to the pinky one but that’s just personal choice. If you are missing your Nailtique then Orly is for you .
Marion. 13.8.2020. orly nailtrition. I usually use nailtique but as unavailable trying this & so far very pleased. Good colour too. Thanks to this web site for advice.
Lesley. 17.8.2020. orly nailtrition. Thanks so much for your prompt service.
The Orly product seems to be working well on my rubbish nails .
Wendy. 28.8.2020. orly nailtrition. Thank you for recommending orly products. I am very pleased with the product and works just as well if not better than nailtiques! Will re order in the future.
Sarah. 3.9.2020. orly nailtrition. I had been using Nailtiques Formula 2 plus. Clare explained why it was unavailable and suggested this as an alternative. I’m really pleased with it. The service from Clare is first class with the added touch of a hand written note inside the parcel. My nails are nice and strong again with a lovely pink sheen. I would recommend this.
Di. 27.9.2020. Jessica restoration, OPI oil. Great service and fast! I ordered nail oil and a restoration treatment which after just a week are already making a difference.
Clare is so amazing. She has kept me up to date with the Nailtiques situation. Suggested Jessica and Orly products as alternatives. Generally she shows she cares about her customers and her products.
Beth Clarke 9 March 2021 Gellux Nail Oil. Just wanted to say WOW I have been using the nail oil you recommended for 2 weeks now and my nails are the best they have been
So thank you for you advice, I really wasn’t sure about the oil but no good asking for advice if you don’t take it but it has made such a difference. Will continue to use as part of my beauty regime
So once again thank you
