best nail polish ever

Advantages: strong nails
Disadvantages: price

this nail polish has saved my nails. they were extremely weak, flaking and always broke. this was until i found nail envy. i put it on my nails every day, even if i do not have colour on them. they are now very strong and hardly ever break. they never flake and hardly ever chip. i know this product is expensive, but does last a long time as long as you keep it in the box. if it is kept out of the box, then the polish goes thick and does not dry properly. ...

Review of OPI Nail Envy

Another OPI Hero product

Advantages: Easy and fast to use
Disadvantages: Smell!

...another hero product from the OPI range. A cuticle oil then some, in that it nourishes the nail bed, and so helps the nail that has not yet appeared. Easy to apply with a brush, it can be put around the cuticles, and gently massaged around the nail bed and fingers. I also found, that it helped with a burn I had on my hand, as by applying it over the scar, it helped take the redness out, and the scar although not disappeared is less noticeable that ...
...the skin. Use in conjunction with OPI Nail Envy, you should soon have beautiful, long, strong, much admired nails. I can't help with regard to price, as I usually buy my products from a "shopping channel" and they tend to come in packs of several products together! ...

Review of OPI Avoplex Nail and Cuticle Replenishing Oil

nail magic

Advantages: strong, healthy and long nails
Disadvantages: price

...onto a review for nail magic on the net i decided to give it a go. two years later i'm a devoted user and have made friends and relatives nail magic addicts as well. When you first start to use it it does tend to peel off but as you go on to use it just once a week the peeling stops and the effects start to show. You can also use it with nail varnish so you don't have to have bare nails. My own nails looks so great that people think they're false! ...

...they have false nails on. Jessica Phenomen Oil is a great help and i do not know what my cuticles would look like without it. Not only does it intensively condition your cuticles it also soften cuticles and helps strength the nail. It helps keeps my extensions in great condition and keeps my cuticles soft, which in the winter you need as i find that my cuticles are cut and damaged in the cold weather the oils prevent this with its formulated with ...
...that needs looking after and you need to make sure you look after them, i look at some peoples nails and the cuticles takes up quite a bit of their nail, if you look after then regularly then they are not are a problem. But if you do not they can be quite painful when you try and push them down, so i recommend that you put the oil on then for a few days before hand as it makes then softer and takes away the pain of using a hoof stick. I apply in ...

Review of Jessica Phenomen Oil Intensive Moisturiser

Hard As Nails

Advantages: Strengthens nails over time
Disadvantages: Peels off

...on boots.com and came across Sally Hansen Hard As Nails. I purchased it for 4.25 from Boots. I think the picture above must be an old one as the product is now in a normal looking nail varnish bottle with a long silver handle. (See picture) The varnish looks as though it has a slight pink hint to it, which I think it has. This helps to make the varnish look more natural on your nail. The varnish is very easy to apply and has the same consistency ...
...give your nail two coats, but I think that one coat is plenty. The result is that you have nice shiny, natural looking nails. But does it do as it should? I have been using this product for around two months and I have to say that I have noticed that my nails are a lot stronger. They don't split at the edges as often as they used to. But the only problem that I have is that it peels off very, very easily, and I can never resist peeling off nail ...
