My nails and I have a love-hate relationship. I love to polish them and they hate me for it.
Well, not for the polishing exactly, it is more the frequent removal of polish my nails hate me for.
But, why?
1. I cannot stand chipped polish. Once my polish starts chipping, I tend to make it worse by scraping it off with another nail. This weakens the nail and causes flaking.
2. Chipping or not, I still enjoy changing my polish colors frequently. Which means I use a lot of nail polish remover. I choose removers with added vitamins but still it is drying to the nail, which causes weakening and flaking.
I have tried a few products before that claimed to rejuvenate the nail and make them grow longer and stronger. Instead these products exacerbated the problem.
After reading other blogs, reviews and watching various YouTube videos I though the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener might be just what I am looking for!
OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener uses hydrolyzed wheat protein and calcium to toughen up your nails.

While you may not be able to see it my middle and pinky nails were still flaking at the tips, even after I filed them down!
The first time I applied this I was too excited to read the directions. and waited more than a week to apply the next coat.
This time, as per the instructions, I applied two coats on my natural nail and then added a coat every other day. After 7 days I would start fresh.

5 days of following the instructions.
No breakage yet!

after 10 days
I'd say this is working pretty darn well!
So far I am impressed! My nails actually feel stronger and I have not had any problems with flaking either!
MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!
