Bought this to help repair and strengthen weak nails after years of gel manicures.What I like• Actually hardens soft, peeling nails after a few uses• Can be worn alone or under polish—very versatile• Applies like a regular polish and dries quicklyWhat could be better• Needs regular reapplication to maintain results• Pricey for the small bottle sizeBottom line: Reliable go-to for reviving thin, damaged nails. Perfect for anyone trying to grow stronger nails naturally, but look at Sally Hansen Hard As Nails if you want a cheaper alternative.

I never write a review, I absolutely love this product!! My nails would always tear and brake i have taken everything under the sun. I LOVE the polish quality it's soo very shiny!!♡ My nails are so much stronger. I'll be getting this for EVER. It's not taky, ( dries really quick)

I recently had French tips painted onto my natural nails at a salon. This polish is what the tech used for the pink. I wanted a natural nail color, not the opaque or very pink colors I've seen used by other salons. She said this would look natural and was a strengthening polish too.I think the color is perfect! It's very, very slightly pink but in the bottle, it's see thru hot pink. That's deceiving because as you can see in the picture, it's not hot pink at all. I do construction for a living and though I wear gloves moat of the day, my hands and nails get dry and sometimes the nails get brittle and break. I've used this for 2 weeks and so far no breaking.The polish is high shine so if you're looking for a matte finish, keep hunting. I feel like as hard on my hands/nails as I am due to my line of work, the polish holds up really well for the better part of a week, and though it's clear, I do see some chipping at the tips of my nails after about a week. Once I removed the polish the nail tech initially painted on, I felt my nails were truly strengthened which is what prompted me to buy the polish so I could keep up on keeping my nails healthy.

First pic is April 22, 2024, before any nail envy. Second pic is April 23, the day I first applied. Third pic is April 29.I’d been getting my nails done with gel X in October to stop biting them. It got pricey and I didn’t feel like I was going to bite them anymore so I stopped getting sets in early March. My natural nails have always been weak and bendy due to biting with shortened nail beds as a result. Having gel x solved the biting and allowed my nail beds to recover and lengthen, and my nails are a lot stronger for it, but they still need a little help while the portion of my nails that had been filed down for gel x grow out. This is only 1 week of use but I think it’s helpful. It at least makes the rougher surface of the nail look smooth in a way regular polish wouldn’t. I do think it adds some structure as well. Two of my nails broke (middle and pinky) in the last week but that’s not nail envy’s fault, that’s just damage from gel x growing out.I have been maintaining them with regular filing when the edge of my nail gets scraggly even while using nail envy and I think that is helping too.Tips 1: It dries quickly, but it’s sort of deceptive - it stays malleable for a while after being dry to the touch, and if you get a wrinkle in it it WILL bubble and peel off. So even once “dry”, try not to touch anything that could mess with them for about an hour so they fully harden. I apply it when I know I’ll just be typing or doing something on my phone so I know I won’t mess with it before it cures.Tip 2: THIN layers. You want enough on the brush that you don’t have to dip back in to the bottle to get more so you can cover the nail without it being streaky, but not any more than that or it’ll stay malleable for too long.Tip 3: by the third our fourth layer, it usually bubbles after you put it on and is prone to peeling anyway, so honestly I just modify the instructions and have only been aiming to get a total of 3-4 layers on. I’m not sure how to get it to make it to a total of 8 layers (2 first day and 6 from daily applications). Oh well. I like it anyway!

For several years, I had manicures with the powder dip and a couple of my nails had a bad reaction so I quit those manicures and started using this polish and it is wonderful. It has really improved the strength of my nails, and my nails are getting very healthy once again. Great product!

Product worked OK but I did not notice nail strength increase while using as directed. The polish continued to chip and got very goopy after a few weeks of using.

I love OPI nail envy - it adds the perfect amount of shine, without the color. A little pricey, but works great!
