Most Helpful Positive Review IT WORKS! This product really does strengthen nails! It couldn't be easier to use...application is smooth and it dries quickly. I see a difference in nail strength right away. Especially effective in cold, dry winter weather and lots of handwashing, dishwashing, etc....love this!
Most Helpful Critical Review Not great for nurses I work as an RN. I have terrible nails so I thought I would give this product a try. I followed the directions for use and applied two coats on my day off. 24 hours later at work the product made my nails sticky after routine use of hand sanitizer. I haven't used the product long enough to know how if it actually improves nails but due to the unpleasant breakdown with the hand sanitizer I will probably quit using it.
Reviewed by 61 customers Ingredients are TERRIBLE for nails 1
Foolmeonce from NH
I am thoroughly disappointed with this product. When I bought it, I hadn't even considered that there might be terrible ingredients like FORMALDEHYDE in it. My nails are weak and tend to bend, split on the sides (parallel to the cuticle). After using this, my nails have started to peel, and even chip. They have become dry and brittle after using this garbage. How can OPI possibly offer a product with terrible ingredients that most polishes no longer contain, and tell people it's good for them? All the while charging an absurd amount of money for it.
So far a great product 5
Hh from Aurora, IL.
I have only been using it for a short time, but it seems to really help my nails so much Orr than the original Nail Envy. Il'm hoping it will end my nail splitting problem.
Love it 😍; my nails are strong, flexible, and long. 5

Every day until you see the change and then before the nail polish 💅 weekly
Not worth it 1
Leah from Michigan
I love the original formula so I thought I would try this one. It was horribly tacky the day after application so i know it was dry. I kept having to scrape my sweater fuzz off of my nails. I would not recommend.
Great for any nail 5
YB from Westchester, NY
My nails are constantly splitting along ridges. OPI helps prevent this. I definitely notice a difference when I use it. It lasts, too. I don't notice it peeling or chipping. I don't normally wear nail polish, so I don't know how it works with colors,etc.
The only thing that works on my nails 5
mamaw with the splitting nails from Indiana
Most polish will not stay on more than 1 day for me as I have dry, brittle nails that split. This works much better on my nails. One of my thumb nails is the 3rd on I have had and it has a problem.
This product works wonders on my nails! 5
Nancy from Puyallup, WA
I wore acrylics for over 20 years, then gel for about a year before going completely natural. Even after my damaged nail had grown out, my nails regularly peeled or tore at the edges whenever they started to grow out. I had a bad habit of picking at the spots where it peeled, making them worse. I figured any chance of having decent looking natural nails was hopeless. I started using this product (2 coats) with no polish for about 2 weeks or so until my nails reached a length where polish on them looked good. I've been using this product now as a base coat under polish for at least a month. My nails have stopped peeling and they are at a nice length past the skin/tip of my finger. My nails feel stronger and look like they did when I had fake nails, just without the unnatural thickness. I use two coats of strengthener, two coats of OPI polish, and finish with the plumping top coat. I only had one nail break since I've been using this, and that's because I hit it straight on pretty hard against a cabinet. Also, I am diligent about changing my polish when it starts to wear around the edges. The strengthener alone lasts a long time with no peeling, and it dries very fast. Since I've been wearing polish on top, I usually have a nail or two show signs of wear or chipping after about 4-5 days. Sometimes I just touch it up and apply more top coat to eliminate any weak spots.
I am a repeat buyer for nail Envy 5

I follow the suggested directions of using every other day and removal at the end of one week.
Doesn't peel or turn yellow 5
MalCal from Virginia
I've been using this for 2 years after years of other nail strengtheners. My nails are strong and grow easily from years of using hardeners and wearing protective gloves if using cleaning products etc but all other brands peeled constantly. Along with aging (I'm in my 60s), the constant peeling and reapplying made my nails dry and brittle. This is the only strengthener I've used that does not peel off! It stayed on and looked fresh for an entire 18 day vacation. Except for whims or special occasions, this is the only thing I wear on my fingernails. It's the only brand I've used that never starts looking a little yellow.
This is the first product that helps my thin, brittle nails. 5
Babs from Minnesota
My manicurist recommended putting this on once a day for ten days, then removing it and start again. It works! I pair it with sun oil on my cuticles morning and night. My nails have never looked this good.
So far I like it and would buy it again 3
Nanny from Augusta, Ga.

I love OPI products 4
Deb from Bossier City LA
Got this to be used as a base coat as well as a treatment for moisturizing my too dry nails
Too soon to tell 3
gramma42 from Dubuque, IA
I have just started using this particular Nail Envy product. I have high hopes because my nails at this time chip and crack all the time. If this doesn't work, I'm not sure what to do.
Did No Good! 1
Leopard Jan from Macedonia, OH
I used this product for about three weeks for my peeling nails. Didn't do an ounce of good so far, and it's too hard to use. Put it on every other day?? It's so thick on my polished nails after a week, it just peels right off - polish and all!
I buy this product again and again 5
White Tiger Lady from Troy, MI
How to get the perfect manicure:
1. Remove old polish with Expert Touch, and wash hands thoroughly;
2. Apply Chip Skip;
3. Apply Nail Envy;
4. Apply Start to Finish formaldehyde free;
5. Apply two coats of OPI classic nail lacquer;
6. Apply Start to Finish formaldehyde free.
Allow each coat to dry and harden thoroughly before applying the next.
Love Ir! 5

Bringing my nails back to life after removing fake nails.
Good for my nails 5
Penelope from Houston, TX
After two years of using gel and having some damaged nails, I decided to give them a break and have been using this product as a base before applying nail polish.
Really helps with dry brittle nails 5
KathyK from Austin TX
I like this product. It helps my nails from cracking.
Love this 5
Junebug54 from Oklahoma
I have used this for years. My nails have always been thin and brittle. This polish allows my finger nails to grow longer without breaking so easily.
I would buy this product again! 5
Tracy the mom from Abilene,Kansas
The directions say to apply every other day and that's what I do! This polish has improved the look of my nails.
Not a fan of this formula 2
Ames from Richmond, VA
I have used this formula as well as the Original. The best way to describe is it will loosen around my cuticle and peel off my nails in a sheet. I then start picking at it and alas, my brittle nails break. I am a big fan of the original- made my nails grow long and strong and holds up very well. I will stick with that version.
I will keep purchasing 5
Old timer from Mi
Do follow application directions. It works, even without polish.
Yes 5
Tere from MN
I use it as a top coat to reinforce hydrating my nails since I do a lot of dishes.
