I have quite strong nails naturally but after getting a shellac nail treatment, my nails became quite damaged and brittle. I bought OPI Nail Envy and it's worked wonders to restore my nails back to their normally healthy and strong condition. They leave my nails looking really glossy as well.

I didn't see much difference in the strength or condition of my nails. I have issues with my weak nails peeling and splitting and this didn't make any noticeable improvement to the condition of my nails. For the price you pay for Opi polish and treatments I wouldn't waste your money. The only thing I have found that helps is collagen tablets or hair skin and nail tablets available from many brands. They cost around the same and really help!
Tips: Take vitamin and mineral capsules for hair, skin and nails to improve condition of nails.
I have splitting nails and have used the original nail envy and the one specifically for split nails. The original far outperforms the split nails formula. My nails grew long (a first), strong and there was no peeling.
Tips: Use regularly as per instructions. Will not work as a one go wonder. This is a treatment to build on your nails over three days. Keep your cuticles hydrated with olive oil or a cuticle oil for long term success.
I use this product as a base coat when applying colour and find my nails are a lot stronger then they would be without. On its own I dont find that it does too much for my nails in terms of strengthening, but I love it as a base coat. For the price, I would probably find something else to strengthen my nails.
I didn't like this personally. I found it didn't work very well. My nails were still long and flaky. I wouldn't spend $25 on it. For nothing
I use this product as a base coat on my nails before I apply the nail polish. It seem to harden my nails and I feel that this protects my nails from splitting or peeling from nail polish use. This product is a bit pricey but I find this useful for weak nails like mine. It leaves a not so smooth texture but it won't ruin the colored nail polish.
I've used Original Nail Envy for a few years now and have always found it great on my nails. I use it as a base coat on its own or under coloured polish. It really seems to strengthen my nails and protect against "snaps".
Tips: Regularly reapply it! If at some point it starts to chip off your nails etc don't peel it off - I find that Nail Envy almost "coats" the nails so well that if you start peeling it off it can take a nail layer with it. I would suggest removing it off your nails and applying a new fresh coat. Luckily it dries very quickly so reapplying is no hassle!
OPI Nail Envy can be pretty pricey here in New Zealand but it's honestly worth the spend. I had a bottle for about two or three years before it started getting too goopy to use. You have to apply it regularly to see the full effects, but it really works and gives you stronger, healthier nails that are less prone to splitting, chipping or flaking. Nice! I would apply it under my base coat every time I did my nails, and every time I took my nail polish off.
My nails were splitting but after using this product for a month they were much stronger and no longer splitting.
I tried this about a year back on my nails that split and peel very easily. They are also really weak and they bend lots. I had heard really good things about this and I love the OPI polishes so thought it would be a winner. However, unfortunatley it did not work. I followed the instructions to a T and perservered. After a couple of months I hadnt noticed much of a difference at all so gave up.
Tips: I have since found that the Dr Lewins nail hardener has worked! Recommend this rather than the OPI nail envy.
