• Lisa Vanderpump says OPI’s Nail Envy strengthener “makes my nails look like I’ve just had a manicure,” per an interview with the Strategist.

• “People tell me my nails look amazing all the time, and I tell them they’re my real nails,” the Real Housewives star continued.

• Over 20,000 five-star Amazon reviewers agree with Vanderpump: This nail strengthener is well worth the investment.

Who knew Lisa Vanderpump does her own nails? In a new interview with the Strategist, the Vanderpump Rules star revealed that she hasn’t gotten a manicure in a year and a half—and that one $17 product has allowed her to take care of her nails on her own.

Her secret? Cult-favorite treatment OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. “This makes my nails look like I’ve just had a manicure, very strong and healthy,” the restaurateur, 60, said. “People tell me my nails look amazing all the time, and I tell them they’re my real nails, that I don’t have anything on them.”

Unlike a base or top coat, Nail Envy is actually a gel that’s meant to be removed after a week, leaving stronger, healthier fingernails behind. Formulated with wheat protein and calcium, it’s something of a restorative smoothie for damaged nails. (Just look at Vanderpump’s nails in the clip below!)

Vanderpump isn’t the nail strengthener’s only fan; its Amazon page is flooded with similar praise from reviewers of all stripes. “Currently, for the first time in my life, I feel like I could actually go with naked nails and still trust their strength—that’s how strong they feel!” one reviewer says. “If you use it regularly it DOES really do wonders.”

“After wearing acrylics for way longer than I should’ve and growing tired of the upkeep, I found this holy grail,” another writes. “If you use it like the directions say, I PROMISE you, your nails will become SO incredibly thick and strong.”

“Survived a house move, packing and unpacking boxes, assembling IKEA furniture, doing DIY—everything without a single chip on the polish or my nails-—which remained strong and long,” yet another reviewer raves. “My nails have never been naturally this long, ever.”

Better yet, Nail Envy also comes in formulations meant specifically for certain nail ailments, including Sensitive & Peeling and Dry & Brittle, as well as tinted options that replace the need for nail polish. (Shop these varieties below!)

When people compliment Vanderpump’s nails, “I tell them to get this,” she told the Strategist. “It will take a while, but I promise you’ll see results.”
