Nail Envy Nail Strengthener | Clear & Opaque Crème Nail Polish Treatment | Strengthen Weak & Thin Nails

One gel manicure in advance of a long trip and my nails were totaled. Thin, peeling, cracking and it went on for months. My sister had same experience after a gel manicure and she found this product and told me about it. It work extremely well at restoring your natural nails but you need to keep up with it. Miracle product but it won’t fix your nail permanently overnight. It takes almost a year.

I’ve been using this specific product from OPI for several years. I’m a fingerstyle guitarist that relies on my right hand nails for optimal volume, projection and tone. Nail envy helps strengthen, nails for long-term playing. Two decent coats (drying each coat in between) give me a solid week of practicing and performing, no chipping or peeling. I’m also a swimmer and chlorine is the worst thing for keeping your nails strong. I’m sure that women who are doing their own nails use this product as a base coat for whatever color they want to put on top. Everyone I’ve told about this (both women and men) rave about it. It’s pricey, but one bottle lasts a very long time and the quality of the product is top shelf.

I am amazed to report this stuff works! I say that because I have had weak nails my whole life. 41-years. Over the past 2-years, I’ve been actively trying to strengthen them: nothing was working at all! Been taking hair/skin nail supplements, admittedly not the expensive ones like Weem and most recently went thru a 6-month period of no polish and daily applications of nail-strengthening oil. I saw no change at all! Still super thin and a nail breaking every other day or so. I even had a couple toenails that were splitting and would continue to grow out that way. After reading a random online post, I ordered OPI Nail Envy. After the first week of use as directed, my nails grew more than they had in months and only one broke that week! Now I’m literally only on my second week and all of my nails (feet & hands) are noticeably thicker/stronger and I have length I’ve never had ever! I know this sounds maybe too good to be true…I almost can’t believe it myself! I’ve tried other nail-strengthening polishes before and they never helped. This stuff is really working, and I swear this is my true experience. I plan to keep using as directed for another month at least, excited for the first time of giving myself a mani/pedi and actually loving the way my nails look. ☺️❤️

First pic is April 22, 2024, before any nail envy. Second pic is April 23, the day I first applied. Third pic is April 29. I’d been getting my nails done with gel X in October to stop biting them. It got pricey and I didn’t feel like I was going to bite them anymore so I stopped getting sets in early March. My natural nails have always been weak and bendy due to biting with shortened nail beds as a result. Having gel x solved the biting and allowed my nail beds to recover and lengthen, and my nails are a lot stronger for it, but they still need a little help while the portion of my nails that had been filed down for gel x grow out. This is only 1 week of use but I think it’s helpful. It at least makes the rougher surface of the nail look smooth in a way regular polish wouldn’t. I do think it adds some structure as well. Two of my nails broke (middle and pinky) in the last week but that’s not nail envy’s fault, that’s just damage from gel x growing out. I have been maintaining them with regular filing when the edge of my nail gets scraggly even while using nail envy and I think that is helping too. Tips 1: It dries quickly, but it’s sort of deceptive - it stays malleable for a while after being dry to the touch, and if you get a wrinkle in it it WILL bubble and peel off. So even once “dry”, try not to touch anything that could mess with them for about an hour so they fully harden. I apply it when I know I’ll just be typing or doing something on my phone so I know I won’t mess with it before it cures. Tip 2: THIN layers. You want enough on the brush that you don’t have to dip back in to the bottle to get more so you can cover the nail without it being streaky, but not any more than that or it’ll stay malleable for too long. Tip 3: by the third our fourth layer, it usually bubbles after you put it on and is prone to peeling anyway, so honestly I just modify the instructions and have only been aiming to get a total of 3-4 layers on. I’m not sure how to get it to make it to a total of 8 layers (2 first day and 6 from daily applications). Oh well. I like it anyway!

Goes on smooth. Nice color and nice shine. Adheres well. Lasts a week.

My podiatrist recommended this brand for strengthening my nails. I've used it on my hands and toes. For some years it worked quite well and then it seemed like the formula changed and it chips easily so I can't leave it on my nails more than a day or two. That is disappointing. I liked the color and that it dried pretty quickly but I don't have time to redo my nails so frequently.

I can see this making my nails a little stronger than they were when the gel polish was taken off 3 days ago. I did 2 coats of the nail strengthener, 2 coats of a sheer dnd color and one more coat of the strengthener. It dries quickly, but I do a lot of check writing at work and where my pointer finger touches the pen, the polish gets pushed up and reveals my bare nail. It’s polish, but it’s not 100% hard like polish. It doesn’t chip like polish either. It lifts and little pieces peel off, but it’s not a lot. I’m going to keep using it and see if I can stand my nails without gel for a while. I got the shade, pink to envy and it’s basically a clear coat.

Parfait

気に入ってます！ジェルやってたのですが、手湿疹が出るようになってしまってオフしました。その後爪がかなり薄く、缶詰を開けるにもベコッ！シールを剥がすにもベコッ！何をするにも爪がペラペラで本当に嫌な思いをしていました。 それがこの商品を使い初めて1ヶ月くらいで自爪が厚く硬くなってきました。爪がひっくり返らないのでハイポニキウムも伸びてきてピンクの部分が長くなって嬉しいです！正しい使用方法通りに初日は2度塗り、翌日から1ど塗っていますがたまに忘れます。爪の先剥がれたりしますが、色的にあまりきにならないのと、全体的に爪の色が補正されるし傷がついても目立たないので自爪より綺麗です。

pour les ongles abîmée est je doit dire que au bout deux semaines je vois le résultat je le recommande vivement.

Fortalece muy bien las uñas naturales y ayuda a que se rompan y se descamen mucho menos tras unas semanas de uso constante. Este tratamiento fortalecedor crea una especie de escudo sobre la uña que la hace más resistente frente a roturas, descamación y grietas, algo que se nota especialmente si tienes las uñas finas o dañadas. La fórmula lleva proteína de trigo y calcio, que ayudan a reforzar y nutrir la uña para que crezca con mejor aspecto y con menos tendencia a quebrarse. Usado de forma regular, se aprecia que las uñas se sienten más duras, lisas y con un brillo sano, por lo que funciona muy bien como tratamiento base antes del esmalte de color o incluso solo. Es un producto caro comparado con otros fortalecedores, pero la calidad y los resultados en la resistencia de las uñas hacen que merezca la pena la inversión.

Great for nail health! After getting gel nails off, my nails were weak and brittle. I was actually a bit scared at how thin they were. After using this product consistently, they are definitely stronger. I usually don't even do the full 7-day routine (because I forget) and end up with just 3–4 layers left on for a week or more, and it still works very well. I like that the color gives the nails a healthy tint, but nothing more and that it dries very quickly.
