The formula also features key ingredients like pro-vitamin B5 and squalane, which provide greater nail strength while reinforcing the natural barrier. The Plant Power nail fortifier is said to provide noticeable results after two weeks of regular application, with the brand recommending consumers apply the product twice a week to bare nails. Once dried, a nail polish can be applied on top, however Le Mini Macaron advises that consumers do not cover the product with [gel polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colour-builder-gel) as they are more likely to chip. In addition to being [vegan and cruelty free](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manucurist-green-system-in-poppy-red), the nail fortifier is made without acetone, formaldehyde, and other harmful ingredients.
