  Product: OPI Nail Envy – Original   Who for: Anyone who wants to improve their nails health   First impressions: Looks cloudy   After one week: Nails look healthier   After one month: Nails are stronger   Stockists: OPI, Amazon, Nail Polish Direct, Sally Beauty, QVCUK   During lockdown I noticed that my nails were suffering due to all the hand washing we are needing to do.   They were flaking more and breaking which made my fingers sore.   So, I ordered this and the original version of Nail Envy to see if they would help my nails.   And they did.   I applied this every other day for a week, took it off with an acetone free polish remover and repeated.   This version did flake or peel by the fourth day, my nails had a nice sheen on them.   I alternated with the Matte version applying one version a month.   This should be in everyone’s nail care arsenal.
