This 'miracle polish' is the wildly popular beauty product you need for stronger, healthier nails
Whether you love gel manicures a little too much or have a not-so-great habit of biting your nails, damaged nails can ruin a manicure. No matter how you got there, dry, peeling nails don’t just look unhealthy, it can cause pain.
Enter OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener, a wildly popular nail strengthener that happens to be among Amazon’s top-rated beauty products. Designed for weak or damaged nails, the main ingredients — hydrolyzed wheat protein and calcium — deliver stronger, longer, healthy nails.
It doubles as a base coat for the nail polish enthusiast, but Amazon reviewers rave about the “miracle polish,” as one fan pointed out. “I'm 60 years old and my nails were becoming very brittle,” wrote the customer. “I fish, kayak, garden, do woodworking and home repairs and it was really taking a toll on my nails. Got some of this and I use it exactly as directed. After 2 months, the difference is amazing ... I like to keep my nails short but at least they look healthy and no more splits! It worked for me. Hope it works for you, too. Well worth the price.”
And speaking of use, one reviewer pointed out to “follow the directions for terrific results,” adding “I am in my late 40s and started having issues with brittle and easily-chipped and broken nails. I already take Calcium and Vitamin D. I went to a spa for a manicure and advice. The technician used OPI nail envy but said that I needed to apply it more than every 4 weeks during my mani. I bought it and followed the instructions — wow! What a difference! I highly recommend this.”
Another raved about how the product helped strengthen and grow nails: “Nail Envy by OPI is literally the best nail strengthening polish out there. I could never, ever, in my life grow my nails past the edge of the nail bed. My nails became so strong and are actually growing. I recommend this product to everyone who has trouble growing your nails.”
One gel manicure enthusiast noted its effectiveness and wrote, “My nails are even stronger than before, and I have not suffered another setback of chipped, cracked, broken nails. I'm pretty astonished. I will probably do gels again, but not to the level of frequency as I did before. In between I plan on using this religiously.”
At $17, this nail treatment is a splurge, but one well that is well-worth it — as one happy customer explained. “My nails are no longer splitting, peeling, cracking, or bending,” said the reviewer who also uses it as a base coat. “This product dries super fast and holds on great to any polish you put on top of it. My color nail polish no longer lifts/separates from the nail, peels, or chips. It stays right in place and just wears evenly a long the exposed edges of my nails.”
“I almost didn't purchase this because it seemed really pricey,” admitted another. “I had tried a similar product by another brand and it didn't do much for me but I love OPI polishes so I decided to take a chance on this stuff and I'm glad I did. It goes on clear, it's not milky or cloudy at all. It leaves a great shine on my nails and doesn't chip off. I work with my hands a lot, gardening and packing and shipping so my nails start looking bad pretty quick, the tips get jagged and brittle...this stuff definitely helped with that. My nails were actually growing. I still keep them trimmed short but they are definitely growing faster, plus they look and feel much healthier.
A beauty product that actually works just like it says ... it does exist!”
