OPI Nail Envy Original, 15ml

Product Information

Original Formula Nail Envy Hawaiian Orchid is made to give you harder, stronger, longer natural nails. After getting a little ' acrylic happy' with my nails, I was left with a lot of damage. I'd tried the general nail repair methods: lotion, clipping, filing etc. They continued to split and peel into the nail bed. Not only was it painful, but it didn't look good either. A: Apply 2 coats of Nail Envy® to bare nails on day 1 followed by an additional coat daily. Remove on day 7 if desired. You can also use it as a base coat before applying colour like Nail Lacquer to help strengthen the natural nail. Follow the same steps for any of our Nail Envy® shades. For professional salon application, use either the original formula or any Nail Envy® shade in between pro services–no base coat needed. BEFORE: I had some major acrylic damage on my right hand. While my left hand nails were soft and weak, the right nails were a mess. That's my dominant hand so I had to repair and soak off broken nails more often on the right. Also, being right handed, I'm sure I was filing incorrectly when using my left hand. The right nails were so soft that they would split in the middle, peel and break down into the nail bed. If you’re a regular reader, you’ve probably cottoned on to the fact that I’m a little bit obsessed with the gel nail kit I got for Christmas: mostly because I just can’t seem to stop talking about it, dammit. I promise this will be my last word on the subject (well, for a little while, at least…), but in my previous posts on gel manicures, I talked a bit about the importance of looking after your nails, and giving them a rest in between manicures, so I thought today I’d show you how I’ve been doing that.

After one week of wear, remove the OPI Nail Envy Original Formula Pink To Envy with an acetone-free nail polish remover. I was in the nub club for the longest time. The white part of my nails weren’t even there and my nails weren’t even close to being pretty. It took a whole entire month just for a millimeter of the white part to show. Everyone told me, “just leave them alone and they will grow!” And I’m like “Sorry, honey booboo child, but my nails aren’t set up that way!? Thanks for trying to help, though!”This rich navy blue nail strengthener will toughen up nails big time thanks to Tri-Flex Technology™, a liquid shield that reinforces the nail with layer-building strength. Salon application tip: Use in between professional services like gel manicures–no base coat needed. You'll have to play the waiting game to achieve longer stronger natural nails - At first the change was amazing. Within two weeks my nails looked completely different and I thought they would be long in no time. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Nail Envy® nail strengthener with Tri-Flex Technology™ strengthens and protects against chipping, peeling, and splitting, resulting in healthy-looking, vibrant nails that are 95% stronger in 1 week.* Nail Envy by OPI states that it provides maximum strengthening with hydrolyzed wheat protein and calcium for harder, stronger, natural nails. But does it work?

Nail Care A Must-Try Treatment: Nail Envy Nail Strengthener If you’ve ever gotten your hands on a bottle of OPI Nail Envy, then you know it’s one magical potion that does exactly what it says it will do – make everyone envy your nails big time. A: Our iconic Nail Envy® nail strengthener is now a vegan formula* featuring Tri-Flex Technology™, a liquid shield that reinforces the nail with layer-building strength. On top of that, our vegan nail strengthener is also infused with biotin, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and E. The OPI Nail Envy range is especially formulated to help nourish and strengthen weak, brittle nails. This effective nail treatment encourages healthy nail growth for longer, stronger and harder...One of the great things about this treatment is that it’s really fast-drying, so you don’t have to sit around for ages, wafting your hands in the air as you (I) do with nail polish. I didn’t see an “overnight improvement” in my nails, as some reviewers claimed, but as I said, my nails weren’t in bad condition to start with (it’s those cuticles that are the trouble-makers!), so I’m mostly using this is a preventative rather than as a cure. After one week of wear, remove the OPI Nail Envy Original Formula with an acetone-free nail polish remover. I've never been a nail biter, but you'd think I was lying if you saw my hands. I decided to pull out the big guns and add Nail Envy from O.P.I. to my nail repair routine.

There are various different OPI Nail Envy formulas available to treat different issues, but I decided to start off with the original, to see how I got on. This is a nail strengthener, and the main reason it appealed to me is that it can be used either on its own, or with nail polish (Regular nail polish, I mean: I don’t think it would be much use with gel polish!). One of the slightly surprising consequences of getting my gel nail kit has been a growing addiction to nail polish: I used to only wear it occasionally (and then only for a couple of days, maximum), but these days I find my nails feel very bare without at least a touch of colour, so I wanted to be able to continue painting them, even when I’m taking a break from the gels. All Nail Envy nail strengthener products can be used as a stand-alone treatment or as a base coat alternative underneath your favourite OPI Nail Lacquer. Our original Nail Envy nail strengthener formula is designed to add strength to weak or damaged nails. You can use this as a base coat or wear it on its own when your nails need a little TLC. OPI Nail Envy Matte Want a natural look that hides all your imperfections? Our original Natural Nail Strengthener formula is designed to mask those pesky flaws that we all have. Sally Hansen Cuticle Massage Cream: During the day I applied massage cream. I did it at least 2 times per day, but even more if I had my hands in water, went swimming etc. I like the Sally Hansen cream because it comes in an easily portable jar that you can put in your purse and use on the go.

I don’t find the polish itself to be damaging, but the removal process can be if you’re not careful, so when I got my kit, I also decided to invest in a couple of products – namely OPI Nail Envy and Avoplex Cuticle Oil– to try to keep my nails strong and healthy. Here’s what I’ve been using between my gel manicures…

The first lesson I learned is that you won't get far using only a nail strengthener. Your nails require moisture and massage. You heard me: MASSAGE YOUR NAILS. Your cuticles, to be more precise. Healthy moisture and blood flow to the cuticle area is what grows strong, healthy nails. So, I put together a full daily system.
