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

I use a layer of clear nail envy, 2 thin coats of nail envy nude or bubble bath shade, then a coat of clear nail envy again. i then alternate between clear and color shades throughout the week. I have RA & hand issues so im not the greatest at doing my nails, but this works well and doesn’t destroy my nails. my only complaint is the polish is thick. but it’s the only polish that doesn’t destroy my bendy nails & improves them. the color is nice and applying is fine. as i have hEDS my nails don’t last as long as others so i am happy with 5 good days that i get here. ETA: Ive gotten up to 10 good days now. it’s a lot of layers overall but they do hold up with proper application. i stopped doing a clear layer after day 7 and then day 10 i got a chip.

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.

I don't usually leave a lot of reviews, but I had to for this product. I am 65 and have Lupus. I used to have really nice nails but over the years they have gotten thin and frail. People with Lupus are known to have problems with their nails, especially with peeling. I was frustrated with regular nail polish and even Gel products as they didn't help my problem at all and they just don't stay on. I've been using OPI for just a few weeks now and I can see a huge difference. What I find interesting is when you remove the polish, there is a slight film left on your nails, almost like an extra layer of protective covering. I've also been using a cuticle oil called Beauty of Earth Nail and Cuticle Oil, and I can see such a difference just after a few week's time. I would highly recommend both these products if you are having problems with peeling nails or weak nails. The only issue with the OPI product is I only found it in one color, but I'm sure you can apply a different color on top of it, as long as it's a good product. I haven't tried that yet.

This is a transparent nail color. The color is a sheer pink that looks like the colour of a healthy nail bed. It definitely makes my nails stronger (after 10 years of acrylics). I find that I need to replace the polish after 5 days, instead of the recommended six, as the polish begins to chip. Overall, it strengthens my nails and looks pretty.

I’m reviewing the white color here, but I’ve been using clear Nail Envy for about a year. I got a part time job at a Pilates studio and my long natural nails took a hit when cleaning on my shift! Clear Nail Envy made a major difference so when I saw that it came in colors I got the white to wear for my summer conference presentations and speaking engagements. I liked that I could travel with one bottle and don’t need a base or top coat.In this application, I did apply one coat of clear nail envy as a base coat, then 3 coats of white. Nothing on top.So in this photo, I’ve been wearing this for one week straight and I’m pretty impressed with how it’s held up. I’m also a tailor and have done numerous sewing projects during the week, broke two nails, and the wear is still pretty minimal.I think the wear could be increased, obviously, with a top coat. It’s been a long time since an opaque white hasn’t shattered or developed that crackly texture. Love the formula - I’ll definitely try other colors!

I read all the reviews before making this purchase. It's an expensive product so I wanted to make sure it was worthy. I knew I loved the regular OPI Nail Envy, so there couldn't be any major issue, right?!?! Despite the reviews that said that the second coat goes on very streaky I went ahead and gave it a try. Well...those reviews were correct. The second coat goes on VERY streaky. I read another review that said they put hands in cold water between coats, and I tried this but it didn't solve the issue. The ONLY way I can multiple coats on with no streaks is using the regular clear OPI Nail Envy between coats. It's handy if you have both products, but if you don't then that is a big purchase to get both. To get the full effect of the Nail Envy you must use the regular in combination with the Bubble Bath. It works well, but again that is $42 in polish. That being said, I still love Nail Envy, it works sooooo well, it has made a huge difference in my nails, and the Bubble Bath is really pretty with the work around!

I recently had French tips painted onto my natural nails at a salon. This polish is what the tech used for the pink. I wanted a natural nail color, not the opaque or very pink colors I've seen used by other salons. She said this would look natural and was a strengthening polish too.I think the color is perfect! It's very, very slightly pink but in the bottle, it's see thru hot pink. That's deceiving because as you can see in the picture, it's not hot pink at all. I do construction for a living and though I wear gloves moat of the day, my hands and nails get dry and sometimes the nails get brittle and break. I've used this for 2 weeks and so far no breaking.The polish is high shine so if you're looking for a matte finish, keep hunting. I feel like as hard on my hands/nails as I am due to my line of work, the polish holds up really well for the better part of a week, and though it's clear, I do see some chipping at the tips of my nails after about a week. Once I removed the polish the nail tech initially painted on, I felt my nails were truly strengthened which is what prompted me to buy the polish so I could keep up on keeping my nails healthy.

This product seems really good and of course is the usual quality of OPI. My nails are super weak and break easily. I “think“ it’s helping.
