OPI Nail Envy, Nail Strengthening Treatment

I normally don't write reviews, but this one is sooo worth the money. I've had this for over a month now, and it's my holy grail. I've tried several nail strengtheners including the all famouse sally hansen ones, and those do not compare to this one. Small background: I'm an artist, but I also work as a security dispatcher. I use my hands a lot, whether it would be computer, phone, pushing, pulling, lifting, painting, whichever, so I am rough with my hands. This also means I'm constantly washing and sanitizing them due to cleaning work spaces very often, several times a day actually. I did not move/treat my hands any different when comparing the other products to this one. First, this one dries much quicker than the average ones: about 5-7 minutes.Personally, I still wait about 10-15 minutes before being normally rough with my hands and using them regularly. I've been fighting brittle nails for months. My nails would break even when they were only a 1mm long and would break at the pink parts of my nails (ouch..) very often. They would bend very easily as well. Nothing worked until I got my hands on this one. Usually with other nail strengtheners, there's always some sort of thick coating that you can 100% tell you have nail polish on of some sort; and they never last that long or actually help with brittle nails: they still break very easily. Other nail strengtheners work like a bandaid. When I would bend my nails, the polish strengtheners would crack like normal ones and deteriorate at a faster rate [~3days] (without bending purposely). With this one, from my experience, it goes to the root of the problem. The polish has a natural shineness and does not act as quick fix compared to others. Even when purposely bending your nails (for testing purposes), it doesn't crack and doesn't even look like anything was applied on top. Yes, orignially getting them done, will look similarly to a regular top-coat nail polish, but once it dries, it looks extremely natural. Even after a couple days, my nails look healthy and the shine on it looks like they have been buffed. It says to reapply every other day, but sometimes I go a week, and they still look good. I have pictures provided of when first applied (after cleaning up nails) and then the pic and video after is after 5 days. Also disclaimer: I started taking biotin & collagen supplements, but I've been using this nail strengthener way before i started them, so what I say still holds up. The supplements just give me extra support and make my nails and skin look a little more healthier.

Alright so this is pretty wild. I’m 24. I work in healthcare so constant hand sanitizer and hand washing. Not only does that make it hard to grow real nails but also I was a chronic nail biter. Constantly did my own gel extensions, dip, acrylic, overlays, everything under the sun. I had stopped doing all that prior to august of 2022 and grown my nails out. I wanted to get them done because my fiancé was going to propose so I went to a local nail salon and the nails they applied stayed on for like a month but as you can see from the first picture, they dug into my actual mail bed and left DEEP grooves in my nails where the edge of the acrylic was placed. Anyhow so that’s how I started. It’s now February 7th 2023 and the last two pictures are what my nails look like right now. I bought this OPI product and it made my nails grow quickly, so that the damage that was done to them initially was gone within 2 months. I’m not gonna lie and say it was instant perfection, but the strength difference even when my nails were compromised that badly was amazing. They didn’t bend anymore. Before even typing on my phone would bend them but after like 3 days of this stuff they were harder than I’ve ever had them be. That extra strength and speed grow boost helped me grow out the damage so I could keep cutting them back until only strong, healthy nail remained. I will forever buy this product. I can’t recommend it enough. Tips: 1. Apply as directed. Seriously. I usually double up the layers and that helps but it does start to chip eventually around the tip of the finger. 2. IT TAKES TIME. If your nails are trash like mine were there’s nothing you can do but grow out the damage and cut it off then grow them long. There’s no other way. Give it time. It took me 4 months to get where I am. 3. In between polishes I like to apply Hard as Hoof to my cuticles and under the nail, and I always give them at least a break overnight before starting fresh. I slap some vitamin E on there too for good measure. 4. Don’t bathe or shower without this stuff on. Moisture makes your nails weak. I also don’t go to work without it on because the hand sanitizer dries them out and makes them brittle.

Really good! I love it! It’s easy to apply, and my nails look healthy and polished. I no longer need to rely on gel manicures and pedicures, which could cause my nails to grow unevenly and turn yellowish.

弱くなった爪の保護として買ってみました。 他のブランドのもう少し安いエンビ―とは比べ物にならないくらい良いです。

Gostei do efeito nas minhas unhas.

Really good, quality product that hardens brittle nails. Love it!

I don't know what's in this product, but after 50yrs of doing my nails, this is by far the best I've ever used to help my nails grow. Love this so much I bought another one just incase I dropped my current one. It prevents my nails from splitting and flaking. So impressive, highly recommend
