I must admit I do use mine as a base coat too. Few times though I have used it as a proper treatment without painting my nails, just using this for a few days to give my nails a break. After using it properly I do find my nails a lot stronger, and appear healthier. The price is steep for what it is, but when used properly it is effective.

A friend suggested i try the purple nail envy product for my constantly breaking nails last year. This product is hands down the best i have ever used for this particular issue and only one usage once a week has enabled me to grow nails i have never had before! Love this product and will definitely replace it when it runs out.
Tips: A little goes a long way! Also this can be used as a top coat for even more strengthening power.
I have nails that are always flaking so I constantly have to cut them. When I first started using this I did as it suggested and applied a new coat every day for a week. I found that it did improve the condition of my nails and they were flaking less and growing longer and stronger. I try to use this every so often as it is suggested but for the most part I use it as a base coat to protect my nails from nail polish. I find that it maintains my nails but is definitely most effective when used without polish. I think this is far too expensive at $50 in store, so I tend to buy it cheaper online whenever possible. Overall I think this is a good product, it just needs to be used correctly to get the job done.
Love this! Will buy it over and over again. My nails have never broken since I started using this. Is also great under nail polish or alone.
Tips: If under polish apply each week.
I LOVE this stuff!! Having been a nail biter until I got braces on when I was 21 did heaps of damage to my nails, but using this product, they have never been better!! They are long & strong, they don't chip or peel or split at all any more. If I don't cut or file them down then they grow like crazy!
Tips: Use 2 layers as your undercoat if you wear nail colours, but when you don't-use as directed & you'll see results
I was hoping to have natural nails for my wedding as I had already ruined my nails with fake ones before. OPI Nail Envy seemed to have the best rep, so I went for that, and followed the directions, however it didn't seem to do anything for me. They may have gotten a little stronger but they still broke and split & flaked. Not worth the price to persist with this on the chance of better results
i bought this as my nails split due to the cold weather during winter and i had followed the instructions for a solid month but found that it doesn't do what it says. Instead i found that because there were so many layers, i would rip the tips of my nails as they snagged on things. However i use this as a base coat and found it helped my polish stick on longer. Not a complete waste of money there. I also have the matte version and i can safely say that the matte version is so much better. I will not be repurchasing this
Being a nail bitter my nails have always been in bad shape but when I use OPI nail envy my nails become healthy and strong well my nails never get to a long length it's just my nails I am able to grow them to a length that is flattering and feminine this product is pricey but worth it I am a OPI addict
I LOVE this stuff. Im not dedicated enough to use it as per instructions, and i find that my nails on my middle three fingers; index and middle in particular, are weak and get breaks and snags. But, the other nails, especially my thumbs and pinkies, are SO strong and do NOT break and are very very very long because I use this so much. I love it, makes my nails very very happy :)
Tips: Keep using it! Remove every 4 days to get the best results, dont just layer it on, or nothing will happen. Works best on bare nails, double coat when you take it off, apply a fresh layer on day 3 and then remove day 5 or so.
I love OPI but Nail Envy didn't quite work for me. It was no different to putting on a base coat of something and eventually I gave up and started to use every other day, so waste of time really.
Tips: Use as directed :-)
