I Maintain. Nails are naturally normal and healthy or have been through treatment with another Protein Formula succesfully and now need nourishment and light protection to keep and maintain them. Nails are generally in good health (flexible, healthy pinkish colour with a light sheen to the nail surface) but need something lightly protective to keep the balance and enable the nail’s length and strength to be maintained. Normal, healthy nails require the correct balance of conditioners and protein to maintain the health of the nail.
With added AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) and Hexanol. AHA’s provide a dose of natural moisture to the nail. Hexanol is a natural and sustainable element derived from plants. It promotes growth and flexibility in the nail.
Which nail type is it for?
Healthy nails.
Why you need it
Balanced and gentle Protein Formula 1 contains plant keratin (Hexanol) which actively leaves the nails feeling healthy and conditioned, combined with AHA’s for added moisture. This unique blend helps to maintain strong and nourished nails.

This is a brilliant alternative to Nailtiques formula 1 . It is easy to apply with a nice broad application brush . Dries almost instantly and most importantly stays put . Excellent replacement for discontinued Nailtiques
