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.

Last year i took my acrylics off after having them for 10+ years, so i was looking for something that would help strengthen up my very soft and fragile nails! I found Nail Envy to be great it really did help strengthen up my nails it did take a few weeks though so its definately a product you need to use regularly. I use it as a base coat alternatively with another ridge filling base coat. Overall its a great product to strenghten up your nails!
Tips: Buy it online its much cheaper!!
My beautician applied this after I had some gel nails taken off and I really like it, it seems to have stayed on my nails quite well and hasn't chipped or peeled like some other strengtheners. At the salon I go to its quite an expensive product so I didn't purchase any but I haven't checked out the price anywhere else yet, if I find it at a reasonable cost I'd be likely to buy a bottle for myself at home.
I have very weak nails so when I was given this for my birthday I was so happy! it was a great nail strengthener and made my nails look very shiny. However my product got very sticky when I left it out in the sun one day so maybe best to keep the product in a cool place. And the only place I can buy it is at makeup direct where it is $40.
After I made the mistake of pulling my gels off instead of going to the salon to have them professionally removed, my nails were ruined. The whole first layer looked and felt destroyed, dry and dead. After freaking out, I ordered OPI Nail Envy and followed the instructions - the result is nails that resembled the healthy status they were prior to using gels. So happy!
Tips: File any unruly bits on the nails first. Follow the directions. Be patient!
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 like using this because it does make my nails stronger, It makes your nails look shinier too, so basically clear nail polish + strengthening properties! The only thing that I found that is if I use it on top of another nail polish I get the colour residue on the brush from that nail polish.
I use this on my nails about once a month when they just need abit of a tidy up (I actually put some on last night) and it makes my nails so much healthier and shiny! They feel alot stronger and I also like to put this on sometimes before my base coat to give my nails extra strength. All in all I think it is a great product and does my nails wonders.
Tips: Apply under nail polish for extra strength
My nails were splitting but after using this product for a month they were much stronger and no longer splitting.
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.
