I ditched the salon years ago to do all of my manicures at home. While doing my nails is a relaxing part of my routine now, perfecting the process took years of trial and error. All of that practice led me to realize that a manicure is only as good as the base coat you use, and the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener is the best there is. Plus, you can get it on sale now during Amazon's Summer Beauty Event.
Help your nailbeds recover from too many manicures with this clear nail treatment. Its calcium and protein ingredients remedy damaged nails so that they're longer, thicker, and stronger. All it takes is a couple of topcoats of the glossy finish.
- Works well as a base coat or on its own
- Fast-drying
- Available in colors
- Some reviewers had issues with chipping
I originally started using Nail Envy on its own to help my nails recover for a few days in between manicures. Weeks with polish on my nails could leave them peeling, brittle, or dehydrated. Once applied, the nourishing ingredients in Nail Envy's formula, like biotin, calcium, and vitamins, had them looking and feeling good as new in no time. The shiny finish also looks great on its own. When I don't have time to do my nails, quickly swiping on two coats of the fast-drying formula makes my nails look more put together in seconds. I've even gotten compliments on my nails when I only have clear Nail Envy on.
But using Nail Envy as a base coat under regular polish is the real game changer. Like other base coats, it evens out the texture of my nails, making it a great canvas to paint more polish on top of. Not only does using it as a base coat make my manicures last longer, it also strengthens my nails over time and keeps them protected underneath the polish, so they still look and feel healthy after removing it. Nail Envy is also available in different colors, so you can play around with layering them.
With over 6,000 five-star reviews, this nail strengthener is clearly also a favorite of Amazon shoppers. "For several years, I had manicures done with powder dip, and a couple of my nails had a bad reaction. I quit those manicures and started using this, and it is wonderful," said one reviewer. "It has really improved the strength of my nails, and my nails are getting very healthy once again. Great product!"
"Wow! OPI Nail Envy exceeded my expectations. I've always liked the regular OPI Nail Lacquers, but Nail Envy is a much better and stronger formula for weak nails. I've been having problems with my nail tips flaking and peeling. I work a very hands-on retail job, and handling freight and merchandise is really hard on our nails and cuticles. I've tried other strengthening polishes, but they didn't hold up well," said another reviewer. "This stuff does! It's way more durable for daily wear than I expected. My hands actually look nice!"
