    Yep i'm hoping that when the current peeled bits work their way out thr nailtiques will make the diff then ... I'm also solar oiling twice daily so fingers crossed

    Have to admit i do like the nailtiques its a nice thick consistancy and it does feel ok on my nails ... Think i just need to get me some patience

    I know what you mean about patience! Mine hasn't even arrived yet and I want to see it working! It's been dispatched, but will be a few days cos I never pay extra for faster delivery!

    We'll have to compare notes on our nailtiques/solar oil experiences.

    Right. I finally ordered some nailtiques (took me a while to have the time to sit down, compare prices and get it ordered!) and it's on it's way!

    I shall follow the advice above but can I just check, I just layer it on day after day for about a week? A coat a day? How does each coat work then if the bottom coat is still there? Does it sort of seep through? I don't understand how another coat on top of six previous coats can be doing anything useful!

    Just curious.

    Yes, just keep layering another coat on each day. I've no idea how it works, maybe it just builds up a barrier to protect the nails. You only need to do this for a couple of weeks, then just use it as a basecoat. That's what I do. A bottle lasts me months and my nails never peel anymore. A couple of times I've tried other products but within 2 or 3 weeks the peeling is back so I always revert to Nailtiques. Everyone's nails are different so it can be trial & error to find the right product for your nails but I've definitely found mine.

    elantan....I think you might need to wait a little longer than 5 days to see a difference ;)

    I've just removed my orange mani, in the mood for something darker today.
