Nail Envy Strength in Colour Reviews

I was already a huge fan of the OPI original polishes and a fan of the OPI nail envy range - so I feel like this is a match made in heaven. OPI have combined their nail care range with colour and it is a huge hit, it is nice to use a polish and not feel like you are compromising your nail health. I am a nail biter (which means always trying to grow my nails) and I feel like this polish is discreet enough to wear on short nails and still look nice while helping them grow!

Throughout the years I have struggled with dry nails that peel and break easily. Yeah, it sucks and growing them requires commitment alongside a nail strengthening product. Now there are quite a few products out there that protect nails with a strengthening coat which allows them to grow, with the original OPI Nail Envy being one of my favourites. However, I wanted a product that would make my nails look pretty AND strengthen them so I could grow them. It's hard to apply colour over a clear nail strengthener as it does not make a great base coat. This product solves that problem for me.

I saw the OPI Nail Envy Strength in Colour 'Bubble Bath' and knew I had to have it. I love the original OPI Nail Envy as it works, but I'm also a sucker for pale pink and nude shades. 'Bubble Bath' is a natural transparent pink shade which makes my nails look more feminine but also looks natural. It is not eye catching but rather a natural pink that goes with any outfit. It is not cheap and I did not check the price until I checked my receipt afterwards, but I'm glad to say it works so is worth the price tag.

The nail polish itself is easy to apply and dries fairly quickly. It requires 2-3 coats, depending on how much you wish to build up the colour. I usually go for 3 coats if I want a fair bit of colour and a more obvious pink shade. Just like the original OPI Nail Envy, this does a fantastic job of strengthening my nails which allows me to grow them longer. You do not need acrylics when you use this product consistently and diligently - it will protect your nails, prevent breakage and help you grow them longer. It is not easy for me to grow my nails as they peel and break easily, but I can achieve length using this product. It is a noticeable difference. As soon as I stop using this product, my nails go back to weak and it's MUCH harder to grow them long.

This product does not fix your nails, but rather coats them to prevent breakage so they can grow. I would not agree that it transforms them, as you need to keep using this nail product consistently to maintain the results and length. However, that is expected.

Overall, amazing nail strengthening product that comes in pretty shades too. It is worth the hefty price tag and will help those with weak nails grow them longer. It will need to be continuously used if you wish to keep the results, as nails simply go back to weak once you stop using this product. All in all, highly recommended and glad to see a nail strengthener that also provides colour. I would buy it in Samoan Sand also (my poor wallet). If you have weak nails that peel and break easily like mine, try this product immediately if you want to grow them in to long and beautiful nails. It does work.
