I've got really thin nails that are prone to splitting, in the lead up to my wedding I gave this product a go. I was skeptical at first so kept applying it every 3-4 days to try and achieve the best result possible, I was really surprised when my nails stoopped splitting and grew to a nice long length in time for the wedding. I did however stop applying it after the wedding and noticed that within a few weeks my nails were back to splitting and breaking. Back to using this product again !

Tips: If you're apply it every few days, you can sometimes get a build up that starts to crack, you just rub the edge of another nail across it and it'll flake off and you can apply more then. No need for acetone
After working as a barista in a cafe part time for 3 years, I thought there was no hope left that I would ever have nice nails again. The constant heat from heating milk, and then emptying the dishwasher, and then making more coffee, left my poor nails brittle, peeling, and short.
So as soon as I found a new job in retail, I spoilt myself and brought this, and I have got to say, it was worth it!
My nails no longer snap off as soon as they get a slight bump, and they also no longer peel. Because of this they have gotten longer and I am able to start painting my nails again with pride!
I have got to say however, this product does not work quickly, it took a couple of months of (ill admit) somewhat inconsistent use. However, now the wait is over, and I finally have nice, feminine looking nails again!
Tips: I normally apply two coats as my base coat before putting on another colour :)
Being a cooking student my nails were always getting ruined so my friend gave me this to try and i fell in love with it right away. It made my nails shiny and they looked so much better, the look healthy now. I use it 3 times a week and just love it
I am a children's entertainer and use my nails as tools on the job. I was using gels for about a year but removing them I ALWAYS peeled them off which was removing my natural nail a thin layer each time, which made me rely even more on the gels to give me some strength in my nail. Anyways it came to the point where I just had to stop wearing gels completely to grow out my nails. I had a bottle of nail envy that I had purchased a while back and didn't really use due to the gels. I have been using it for the last 3 months and I am able to grow my nails out a little longer now, still keeping them short for a few more months but I am just so happy with how they are recovering thanks to Nail Envy.
Tips: The product does yellow the more you put on so recommend using a coloured polish with it. I use the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy polishes as they have a few good one coat wonders.
With using and removing many nail products, my nails lately have taken a real nose dive in strength and condition, so I decided to revisit OPI Nail Envy. Since I last used it I think they've updated the formula, as it said 'No Formaldehyde' which is awesome. It also comes in several colours now, so I made the most of a buy 2 get 1 free deal at Farmers and picked up 2 Nail Envy coloured polishes too.
As my nails were in quite a state I did a manicure before starting, including cutting my nails all back to one length. I've been using the product 10 days, following the instructions and already I'm noticing my nails are stronger and I've had no breakage since starting use. My weaker nails that still have some damage to grow off, seem strong enough to endure the growing period too. There's no discolouration with use either - which I use to experience with the clear version of this product. I'm really impressed. I've used other products in the past, but I keep returning to this one - it's great for weak nails and helping get some growth for those of us that struggle to grow our nails.
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.
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 never grew then once they got to about 5mm they would snap off - then I found out I had celiac disease which is partially to blame for this - going on the gluten free diet with heaps of protein helped as did zinc pills but they would still break off (as I do alot of gardening/crafts/handwashing etc) but this has fixed the issue - they grow out full and long and are so strong. It is a bit addictive as you will need to keep using to keep up the results - I stopped applying last month and my nails started peeling badly again. It also contains formaldehyde (as do many high end nail fortifiers) so just make sure not to get it on your cuticles and use in a well ventilated area. I only use once a week under my polish and it works great. I have the matte version which gives a satin sheen but isn't too matte or shiny. Worth a try if nothing else is working.
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.
