How often do we hear that? Surprisingly, if nature didn’t grant you with long and strong nails, it’s quite simple to fix. Just start using a great nail strengthener and take vitamins! We’ve already featured two of the nail strengtheners that really work –
OPI Nail Envy (Original Formula) will improve the strength of your nails, helping them grow stronger and longer. It also improves resistance against cracking, splitting and peeling.
Application is very smooth and easy, drying in a matter of seconds. After using this product for 4 weeks there was a noticeable difference in nail strength but some nails were still peeling a little bit.

, which are two key strengthening ingredients. Keep in mind that for those of you who have sensitive nails, allergies or simply would like to keep it chemical-free, this product contains Formaldehyde (one of the big 3 chemicals).
OPI Nail Envy (Original Formula) nail strengthener is best suited for those with relatively healthy nails that require a little bit of a push to get stronger and start growing longer. However, it may not suit those who are sensitive to
Also, it’s formula is very thin and fast drying but because of that, it doesn’t smooth out any nail imperfections in the same way that Essie Grow Stronger does for instance. Other than that, it’s a fantastic product and a great base coat for your daily manicures.

Therefore, my poor toenails have always been cracked and they grow with cracks too. A few months back, my left foot’s big toe suffered a serious injury and as a consequence, the nail bed kept bleeding for a while. Eventually, blood clotted under the nail and hence the toenail itself was separated from the actual nail bed but remained on my toe as it was bound to the blood clot beneath it. I hope it all makes sense.
I did see a doctor and there was not much that could be done without enduring more pain so I was given some antiseptics and medicines but the only way I have been able to get rid of the old nail is by clipping it regularly as the new nail grew underneath.
Fast forward, a month ago, I was introduced to OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. This has been formulated with wheat protein and calcium and claims to strengthen nail by resisting cracking, peeling and splitting. Sounds perfect for my toenails, right?
Swatch Saturday: Opi Nail Envy Strength In Color Collection!
Well, when I started using this product, only a small portion of my old nail was left which you can see in the images below (warning: they will be gross). However, my new nail was again growing with cracks so I was in need of such a product. I used this nail strengthener as directed, so I applied two coats the first time and then one coat every other day. Apparently, this is a matte base coat but I did not wear nail polish at all during this time and did not even remove this before applying a new coat every other day. Towards the end of the month, the product buildup gave a yellow appearance so I did remove it but was amazed that my nail now looked much better and way less cracked than it previously did.
Do note that I only clipped my toenails once during this time since toenails grow much slower than fingernails. Both the photos are without the product applied and you can see the before and after yourself to see how much of a difference there is. Overall, I am pretty pleased with the results and would continue using it.I’m so excited to finally share the results of my 10 day trial of OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener (complete with before and after pics)! You see, lately my dominant right-hand nails have been breaking a lot and I wanted to test out this popular product and hopefully whip them back into shape!
The best-selling variety of Nail Envy is the original formula, but OPI also carries an array of other formulas to target specific nail problems. I chose the moisturizing formula of Nail Envy for Dry & Brittle Nails (in the red bottle). Even though my nails seem pretty strong and grow at a decent rate, I do experience a lot of breakage. If I accidentally bang my hand on something- my nail will typically break or crack. I hoped that the moisturizing formula for Dry & Brittle Nails would restore flexibility. My results are to follow…but let’s check out my before and after pics first!!
Opi Opi Nail Envy For Healty Maintenance
The instructions say to apply two coats, and then an additional coat every other day. After a week you must remove it all and start the process over again. Since I change my nail color often, I was unable to follow their plan to a tee… so I applied two coats, then my nail color- and left that on through the next day. Then on the third day I removed all polish and applied two more coats of Nail Envy and then my nail color, etc… So basically, I was still able to apply the strengthener every other day as directed, but I didn’t get to build up the layers over a week’s time as recommended. I decided to test the product out this way over a 10 day period…
From looking at the pics my nails look somewhat the same, just longer. But here’s how I know this product really, really works….
Day 2- I banged my hand really hard on a metal fixture and experienced a minor snafu on my right-hand middle finger. The impact to the nail caused the top layer to peel off on my tip. Boo. Very typical of my usual, “MAN, I broke a nail!”….. but remember, I only had one application of the product on at this time. After I
