Nail Tek Intensive Therapy 2 is a protein-based nail strengthener for soft, peeling nails. Nail Tek describes it as a formula that seals the layers of the nail together, so thin nails that split at the tip become thicker and more flexible. It is number 2 in the Treat by Type system. This is the value pack of 4 bottles, each 0.5 fl oz (15 ml), for salons that use it at the table and sell it at the counter.

Good to know
- The number is the nail type, not a step. Nail Tek's box says to move to the next appropriate formula as the nails improve.
- Nail Tek now sells this formula as "Strengthen - Formula 2" in a new-look bottle. This pack is in the classic box.
- It is made for natural nails and comes off with ordinary nail polish remover.
- For the full routine, the Nail Recovery System adds a base coat and a cuticle oil for the same nail type.
- Flammable. Keep it away from heat and flame and out of reach of children.
Other sizes: single bottle, pack of 3.
