My nails have been driving me absolutely crazy over the last
year and a half and no matter what strengthening polishes I have used, from a
variety of brands, nothing has helped. Due to having to wash my hands numerous
times of day at work my nails had gotten extremely thin, I could bend them in
half and they were breaking easily. BUT
a month or so ago my boyfriend’s sister overhead me complaining about my nails
and introduced me to THE most
amazing nail product I have used and is now my holy grail product.
TA-DAA
The holy grail product I am talking about it O.P.I’s Nail
Envy! I’m aware that they do quite a range of products in the Nail Envy
collection, but the one I use is Nail Envy Matte. In my current job you are not
supposed to wear nail polish, but since this one gives a matte finish, no one
can tell...shhhh! :) The main purpose of this polish is to strengthen your
nails, although when I am painting my nails a different colour I use this as a
base coat. When you first apply this polish to your nails you apply two coats
and then one coat every other day for a week, then you remove the layers and
start again. I did find that after you’re up to 3 or 4 coats it does start
peeling/chipping off, so I tend to start again every 4 days, rather than
leaving it for a week.
Although this is on the pricey side of £18.55, I feel like
this is the only polish that has actually done what it claims to do. My nails
are now rock solid, they don’t bend and because of this they are growing
amazingly well! Worth the splurge in my opinion!
Do any of you have this nail problem? What products do you
use to help?
