I rarely write product reviews but I feel compelled to explain why this is a great product.
I am an older man who has struggled with fingernail biting my entire life. OPI Nail Envy really helps!
1. It is true matte with a barely noticeable shine. I am old fashioned and would never use a shiny polish. I have tried several other brands that claimed to be matte but they all had a little shine.
2. OPI Nail Envy not only strengthens my nails--it accelerates the healing of my cuticles and skin around my cuticles.
3. IMPORTANT: Be aware of the formula! This is Vegan formula. There is another formula, OPI Nail Envy Original Formula. I tried some and it triggered a severe allergic reaction on my cuticles and skin. Swelling, itchiness, and splits in the skin! Painful and unsightly! I switched back to the Vegan formula and it healed the skin quickly.
I wish I had discovered this product 50 years ago. It would have prevented a lot of embarassment about my nails.

First week of use
First pic is April 22, 2024, before any nail envy. Second pic is April 23, the day I first applied. Third pic is April 29.I’d been getting my nails done with gel X in October to stop biting them. It got pricey and I didn’t feel like I was going to bite them anymore so I stopped getting sets in early March. My natural nails have always been weak and bendy due to biting with shortened nail beds as a result. Having gel x solved the biting and allowed my nail beds to recover and lengthen, and my nails are a lot stronger for it, but they still need a little help while the portion of my nails that had been filed down for gel x grow out. This is only 1 week of use but I think it’s helpful. It at least makes the rougher surface of the nail look smooth in a way regular polish wouldn’t. I do think it adds some structure as well. Two of my nails broke (middle and pinky) in the last week but that’s not nail envy’s fault, that’s just damage from gel x growing out.I have been maintaining them with regular filing when the edge of my nail gets scraggly even while using nail envy and I think that is helping too.Tips 1: It dries quickly, but it’s sort of deceptive - it stays malleable for a while after being dry to the touch, and if you get a wrinkle in it it WILL bubble and peel off. So even once “dry”, try not to touch anything that could mess with them for about an hour so they fully harden. I apply it when I know I’ll just be typing or doing something on my phone so I know I won’t mess with it before it cures.Tip 2: THIN layers. You want enough on the brush that you don’t have to dip back in to the bottle to get more so you can cover the nail without it being streaky, but not any more than that or it’ll stay malleable for too long.Tip 3: by the third our fourth layer, it usually bubbles after you put it on and is prone to peeling anyway, so honestly I just modify the instructions and have only been aiming to get a total of 3-4 layers on. I’m not sure how to get it to make it to a total of 8 layers (2 first day and 6 from daily applications). Oh well. I like it anyway!

I have very hard well water, which is tough on my nails. I always use gloves for dishes, but showers and hand washing, and my recent official shift to perimenopause has been hell on my nails—which used to look good with no polish, just a bit of buffing!
The top photo is my nails after 6 months of using a very highly rated keratin product (in the yellow bottle). You can see they are still pretty split at the tips, and there’s almost no length.
While the keratin product kept the nails from bending, it only protected the tips from splitting for maybe the first day.
By contrast, the bottom photo is after just three weeks of Nail Envy. I’ve only had one chip in those three weeks, and I deserved it! Ha. Maybe because it’s more like polish? Maybe because you reapply for 7 days? (I tend to be more like 6 with one day off for the nails to breathe.) Anyway, the keratin wasn’t bad—it didn’t make my nails worse and probably protected them a little bit, but the competition, in my case, is far superior. I love the super sheer pink, too. It doesn’t seem like a color—but it still somehow looks better than the totally clear version.
