OPI Nail Envy Treatment

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.

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 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.

As far as treatments go, this did very little for my damaged nails. I have nails that peel very easily, so I was hoping this would strengthen them so I could grow them out a bit. On recommendation from a staff member at the pharmacy, I bought a mini bottle to try out. I followed all instructions perfectly and there was no noticeable difference. OPI's mini bottles are so small it only lasted two full two-week applications so there is a possibility a more extended treatment would have worked better. It was good to use as a basecoat though, smoothed my nails out and held up well.

Tried this a couple years ago when my nails started peeling but I really didn't see a difference at all. If I wore polish I still used a base coat but felt it was too thick and the polish would peel off which I wasn't very impressed with. I didn't end up using the whole bottle as it started become really thick and gloppy. I am a huge fan of OPI polish and will just to that

I was hugely disappointed with OPI with the Nail Envy as it really hasn't improved the condition of my nails at all. Which is very weird as I LOVE all OPI colours and names but this isn't really worth it. I think I will stick to my vitamin E oil for keeping my nails in tip top condition. The plus as always when it comes to OPI is that the mixture isn't sticky, the brush is perfect shape and width to paint the treatment onto your nail in 1-2 swipes.

My nails don't generally break too easily, but they are fairly weak if I don't have polish on them. This keeps them strong and looking healthy

I already have quite strong nails however I found this prevented splitting as my nails always split down the side. It also did make my nails a bit harder

I tried this product after some damage to my nails from acrylics, i really didnt notice a difference at all, it didnt stop my peeling or breaking,

Its quite thick especially once you apply more coats, but hey it makes a good ridge filler, so you can then use a normal lacquer to cover up horrible looking nails

After all the hype this product had I was really let down. I'm glad I didn't pay the full price! It didn't make a visible difference to my nails at all. I just use it as a basic base coat now so it's not a complete waste.
