Review of Opi A Couple To Envy With Matt Nail Envy by
Lunar_see
Advantages: It works well, my nails look good, easy to buy
Disadvantages: None
...beautician recommended that I use OPI Nail Envy Matte Strength.
OPI is a well known brand of professional nail care and hosts an array of products all over the world. It seems they have a solution for every nail programme so no wonder they are so popular with people like Claire, my friend, who owns her own Salon. So I took her advice and purchased my very own bottle online at a cost of £8.95 from Amazon.
The bottle itself is not exciting in anyway ... ...you have bought.
OPI Matte Nail Envy is a Nail strengthener which is not only suitable for women, men can use it as well, so if your partner suffers with brittle nails then you can also help him to solve the problem.. Nail Envy is designed to help strengthen and protect the nail and it does this by stopping the nail from peeling, cracking and splitting. So because it is able to that it strengthens the nail.
I have been using Nail Envy for approximately ...

Brilliance - It Sure Is!
Review of Jessica Brilliance High Gloss Top Coat by
eckahbeckahboo
Advantages: Smooth application, Extreme shine, Brings out amazing colours from your nail polish
Disadvantages: None!
...I had bought a blue Jessica nail polish colour.
It made my nails incredibly shiny and they even felt a bit stronger. They brought out the colour of my nail polish beautifully. Whereas some nail polishes are dull and matte, this product makes EVERY nail polish glimmer with shine and health.
I would definitely carry on buying this item in the future and value it as highly as one of my 'must-have' beauty items.
Some people do think this item is quite ...

Hot pink = hot nails!
Review of Boots 17 High Gloss Nail Varnish by
frankiecesca
Advantages: Colours and cheap
Disadvantages: Can chip easily
...of nail varnishes from the Boots 17 high gloss range to paint my newly grown and unbitten nails and one of them was this one. The shade is 'Miami' and is a hot pink colour.
The varnish:
The varnish as mentioned is from the 17 range and is one of the 'high gloss' shades which to me says it should be of a shiny and glossy like finish once painted on. I do find it has a shine to it but maybe not as much as I expected.
The bottle:
The varnish comes ... ...The varnish is available in Boots only, either in store or on their website and is priced at £2.79 per bottle. Sometime they run the offer where you can buy 2 bottles for £4 so this will save you a nice bit of money if you know you will be buying more than one shade. Overall opinion:
I like this varnish as it is easy to apply and the brush is not too big so it makes it easier for people like me who are generally not very good at doing their own ...

Naturally nice nails
Review of Boots Natural Collection Nail Varnish by
frankiecesca
Advantages: Cheap and nice colour
Disadvantages: Definitely need two coats
...the 'Natural collection' range from Boots and the shade is called i'm reviewing is called 'Cosmic Rush' The varnish:
The varnish is a shade of deep purple with a very slight glittery shimmer to it. The varnish claims to be fragrance free which I can't understand as I can certainly smell it when I open up the bottle! It doesn't claim to be quick drying or glossy and so all the varnishes in this collection are the same and are mainly chosen for the ... ...varnish is only available from Boots in store at a price of £1.79 although they do offer a 3 for £5 which only works out you save 37p but any saving is better than none at all!
Overall opinion:
I think this nail varnish is ok for the price as it does its job but you cannot get away with just one layer as it's quite a thin consistency. The shade is nice and the shimmer adds that little extra to it so for the price it is a nice one to experiment ...
