Nail Tek Protection Plus 3 is the nail strengthener in the Nail Tek range for hard, brittle nails. It is number 3 in the Treat by Type system. Hard nails break because they cannot bend, so the aim with this nail type is flexibility as well as strength. This is the single 0.5 fl oz (15 ml) bottle.

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.
- It is made for natural nails and comes off with ordinary nail polish remover.
- For the full routine, the Nail Therapy 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: pack of 4.
