OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener | Clear & Opaque Nail Polish Treatment

The first thing you need to know is that Nail Envy does not apply like regular OPI nail lacquer. So, if you're trying to use it that way, it won't work. Here are the most important things to know: 1) This stuff works. After having acrylic nails for years, my nails were destroyed. I quit the acrylics and gel applications and the only thing that helped my nails grow back out was Nail Envy. 2) Before you apply this polish, you need to use nail polish remover to ensure your nails are completely clean. Any type of residue will keep it from staying on your nails - even more so than with other nail polish. 3) This is thicker than the OPI nail lacquer, so you apply it differently. You can't make several swipes with the brush, you need to only apply it once down the middle, or once down the middle and then one time on each side. If you brush on more polish than that, you will end up with a gloppy mess. Make sure there's enough on the brush to cover the nail, but no extra. It might take a couple of times to get this part right. 4) It dries VERY quickly. I love this because I can put two coats on and be ready to go in less than ten minutes - start to finish. It only takes a few minutes between coats. But that also means you can't go over the nail repeatedly - it just dries too quickly. 5) In my opinion, you should NOT put on a new coat every day. That's unnecessary and can build up so much that it peels. I normally do my nails one day and a few days later, I use one more coat. This way it lasts a full week for me. BE SURE to wipe your nails with alcohol before applying the new coat days later. The same as when you apply it to bare nails, it won't apply well if there is any residue on your nails. 6) I have only used a few colors, but in my experience, one coat of the light colors is transparent. I use the Pink to Envy and it doesn't really add any color to my nails. Even if I apply multiple coats, it's hard to tell it isn't clear. If I want color on my nails, I use two coats of the Nail Envy and a third coat of OPI Nail Lacquer. If you use multiple coats of the Nail Envy, it has a tendency to get too thick and peel (as I said earlier). I have never tried any of the darker colors, but I imagine if you use two coats of the darker shades, you will get the opaque look you want. 6) Because this lasts a full week (if applied correctly) and how quickly it dries, this is the least amount of time I have ever spent on my nails. Last but not least, it works to strengthen your nails. It's more expensive than normal nail polish, but the results are well worth the few extra dollars.

I’ve been using this nail strengthener for a while and I’m really happy with the results. It goes on smoothly, dries quickly, and gives my nails a clean, natural-looking shine. My nails feel stronger and seem less likely to break or peel. It’s easy to use and works well on its own or under nail polish. Great product for keeping nails looking healthy and well cared for!

My sister recommended this to strengthen my nails. It worked for her nails. Maybe I might be allergic to an ingredient but my nails became weak and it started, chipping and my nails became painful to touch. When I did use it, it had a great shine. It may work for someone else.

My nails don’t seem as brittle they’re not tearing seems like it’s working pretty good. It’s pretty pricey for one bottle of polish that’s supposed to help your nails strengthen. Would I buy this again I think so. Color is clear, drys fast and it has a pretty shiny clear color

My little brother treated me to SNS nails for my birthday, and I hadn’t had them in a couple of years. Unfortunately, life (and weather) got in the way — I missed my follow-up appointment and ended up going way too long without having them properly removed. One nail started lifting, and when I saw how thin and fragile my natural nail was underneath, it honestly scared me a bit. I ended up removing them myself (not something I recommend — definitely better to have them professionally removed), and then focused on getting my nails back to normal. This is one of the products I started using, along with keeping my nails trimmed and taking better care of them overall. The quality is excellent. The formula applies smoothly, has a clean texture, and there’s no overwhelming smell. It dries well and doesn’t feel heavy or sticky. Over time, I noticed a real improvement. My nails started to feel stronger, looked healthier, and within about two months, they were back to normal. It arrived well-packaged with no issues, and for the price, this is absolutely worth it — especially if you’re trying to recover from damage. This has become something I’ll continue to keep in my routine. #AmazonFinds #AmazonFine #Chihuahuamom #Dobermanmom #LuxeLife #MindfulLuxury #IntentionalLiving #ConsciousLiving #NailCare #HealthyNails #SelfCarePractice #BeautyRoutine #RecoveryRoutine #EverydayLuxury

I bought this on June 30 and started using it right away. I have the clear version and was excited for some color! It has been a life saver for my chemo nails! I have used this weekly and all of a sudden it’s starting to be goopy and weird. Thankfully I don’t really need it anymore as my nails have grown out and look better. It’s just disappointing that it’s $20 and after two months it needs to be thrown away.

I have very fragile nails and not strong. This has helped them grow a little. Love it.

Does what it's supposed to. Keeps nails healthy and strong. I have suffered breakage and cracking since my teenage years and it's nice to have something to fight against that. Dries very quickly and lasts long. Makes nails look polished and shiny. My only grip is that if you leave it on too long, the nail beds underneath weaken. It will push my nail line way up the nail and it takes a long time to grow back, not to mention it's quite painful. Definitely follow instructions and don't leave on longer than a week.

Llevo años buscando un tratamiento que realmente fortalezca mis uñas y este OPI Nail Envy ha sido un descubrimiento maravilloso. Tengo uñas naturalmente débiles que se rompen con facilidad, pero desde que uso este producto he notado una mejora increíble en apenas tres semanas. El color es precioso - me encanta este tono rosado tan favorecedor que aporta un aspecto natural y cuidado. Se puede usar solo como esmalte o como base antes del color, y en ambos casos funciona de maravilla. La fórmula con proteína de trigo y calcio realmente se nota, no es un producto más. Mis uñas ahora son mucho más resistentes, crecen mejor y ya no se descaman ni se parten como antes. La aplicación es fácil, el pincel es de buena calidad y se seca rápido. Una botella dura bastante tiempo porque con una capa fina es suficiente. Lo uso como base antes de aplicar otros esmaltes y he notado que el color dura mucho más sin descascarillarse. También lo he usado solo durante semanas y mis uñas se ven sanas, con brillo natural y ese color tan bonito que me encanta. Es un producto profesional que realmente cumple lo que promete. Si tienes uñas débiles, quebradizas o simplemente quieres mejorar su salud y apariencia, este tratamiento es una inversión que vale muchísimo la pena. OPI es una marca en la que confío plenamente y este Nail Envy es uno de mis productos favoritos de belleza.
