I haven't heard anything about this formulation of Nail Envy, and a quick search online turned up scattered and mixed reviews. So I thought I'd give it a go and see how it works for my nails, which aren't very pretty without polish. The instructions are exactly the same as those for the original Nail Envy: apply two coats of the strengthener to your nails and one additional coat every other day. You can also use Nail Envy as a base coat under nail polish or as a top coat. So far I've only used it once as a base coat, and although it's too early to say whether it works, I can tell you that my nail polish has lasted three days without chipping once. I plan to ditch nail polish some days and just use this on its own. I will report back on how it works here! And if you're interested in checking it out: US link/UK link.
Have you used nail strengthener, and did it work for you?

I picked up a product like this not too long ago from Sally Hansen to help with my awful nails (I get acrylics and don't go get them professionally removed and it screws up my nails for weeks!). This one sounds about the same, but OPI of course has more appealing packaging. Cant wait to hear how it works for you!

Oooh, sounds very interesting! Can't wait to hear how it works for you! I've never heard of it but I agree I wouldnt want formaldehyde on my nails xxx
ReplyDeleteYou know, a lot of people have no idea how damaging formaldehyde can be. I'm glad you did a post on this! Not to mention I really need some! I just did my nails the night before last and hurt my thumb nail badly :/ My nails are just weak sometimes.

Can't wait to hear your review on this! I've been using the Posche 4 in 1 treatment for weak nails and it's my base coat of choice for many years!
ReplyDeleteSo funny you posted about this- I have OPI Nail Envy in route to my apartment thanks to Amazon! I've heard such good things, and I am desperate to find something. I had no idea this version existed. Let us know how it works for you!

I've taken supplements to strengthen my nails which worked really good for me.. Sadly my nails are quite brittle as well and I have to regularly stay off nail polish.
ReplyDeleteThis seems awesome! I hope it works out for you. I use a nail strenghthener and find that it definitely helps prevent peeling and breaking which I had more of before.
ReplyDeleteOoh I had no idea they had this formula, it sounds perfect for my nails so I think I'll have to give it a try!

Looks like a pretty good item. I remember when I worked at a company (which deal with nail products) I saw several Nail Envys. Look forward to seeing how it goes after..! xo akiko

Another product that I can't wait to see what you think! I love the original formula so I'm curious about this!
ReplyDeleteI never used a nail strenghtener but I should definitely try something like that, my nails are constantly breaking!

My nails used to be very weak, and I picked up a bottle of nail strengthener from Sally's. It worked okay for my nails for a bit. But now, all I do is file down my nails and they are perfect.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it came without formaldehyde -- such great news! I always use it as a base coat because I have such weak nails and it makes such a huge difference.
