I've never been one to really promote products I buy. Most things I get are just normal every day things that everyone uses so I figure "why give my review when most people feel the same way anyways?" However, I have to tell you about this because its awesome!
I recently purchased Nail Tek Maintenance Plus as a suggestion from my mom. She's been using it and suggested that I try it for myself and I'm so glad I did. According to the bottle it's "more than just maintenance- it is continuing therapy to condition, protect, and improve long, beautiful nails" and that couldn't be more true.
My nails definitely need some help when it comes to, well growing in general. In high school I always thought it was because I was in the pool and chlorine too much so my nails weren't as healthy as they should be and much weaker than normal. But now that I'm out of high school and more specifically out of the pool I haven't really seen a difference in them. For whatever reason, I've been given nails that don't grow very quickly and are prone to dryness and pealing. For those of you with nice nails you probably have no idea what pealing nails is like but its literally like layers of my nails peal off like paint would. And when your nails aren't very strong in the first place, this process makes them paper thin and prone to tearing/breaking. But Nail Tek has significantly improved my sad nails! I still keep my nails relatively short since they are so prone to damage but they are definitely longer and healthier than before.
It can act as a base coat for under a coat of color or by itself depending on your style/preference. I've done both and the product has the same effect either way. You apply it every day without removing either the color you put over it or the original coat of Nail Tek. After a week, you remove all layers of Nail Tek plus color and start again fresh. The key thing that I've noticed in using it is to make sure you don't apply it too thick. Since you put it on every day, too much will cause clumps and over-kill and the product doesn't work as well. Overall, I'm very happy I bought this product and I will definitely be buying it again.
PS- Here are my updates on my 365 Project. Check out my pictures from the weekend and let me know what you think. :-)

I should try this stuff. Where do you buy it? My nails start breaking the second they start growing off my nail beds. Booo.
ReplyDeleteAs for a nude lipstick, you should try Revlon ColorBurst lipstick in Soft Nude. It's only about $7-8.
I bought mine at Ulta. I think there's one in La Jolla. I'm not sure where else it's sold specifically but I would imagine other beauty supply places would carry it.
ReplyDeleteHey, its Ashley from 20sb. This is a great product review. I doubt I'd be able to find this stuff around here though. :( Maybe online?
