Opi Nail Varnish (Atomic Orange)

Advantages: Bold colour,only needs one coat,easy to apply
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, hard to find in shops

...I decided to buy this nail varnish after having a disaster on holiday where I dropped my full bottle of Jessica coral nail varnish on the villa floor spilling the entire contents over my leg and the floor! : ( I liked the Jessica colour but I wanted something more orange?after searching the whole Jessica range and not finding anything I tried the Opi nail varnishes and found the 'Atomic Orange' colour, which looked bright orange! I wouldn't have had the next idea about where to find Opi nail varnishes, other than beauty salons which was where I had first noticed the brand. So rather than buying off the official site I tried ebay and found the right colour on there for £6 inc postage, which seemed a lot cheaper that anywhere else. Packaging I was a bit worried whether it would be the same colour it looked on the internet...

Review of OPI Nail Varnish

OPI for Nail Biters, it works!

Advantages: Strengthens & nourishs nails.
Disadvantages: Could do with a wider brush

...As a confirmed nail biter for the last 36 years, i finally decided to do something about my knarled stumps. After watching a QVC presentation on this product range, i bought first of all the OPI cuticle oil & nail replenisher, just put a few drops on each nail and massage in. I did this every time i would normally bite my nails, and hey presto my nails started to look healthy with less ridges, my cuticles were healthy and not ragged. As i had been biting my nails for so long they were very soft and brittle, so i then went for the OPI nail envy product. Just apply 2 coats on the first day and one coat on every 2nd day after that for one week. You can use it as a base coat for your normal polish (which i do frequently) and then apply the subsequent applications as normal. It comes in Matt or gloss, i went for matt as i thought i could...

OPI origional nail envy - does what it says on the bottle

Advantages: strengthens nails in just one week!
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...This Nail Envy formula really does do what it says on the bottle - the amount of people who nowdays compliment me on my nails is amazing! People truly will be jealous of your long and strong nails if you use this product! I used to be a nail-biter. Then I bought a bottle of Origional Nail Envy, (green box), and applied one coat every day. After just one week, i could already notice the strength growing in my nails, and i began to stop nibbling. Now a year on, and my nails are stronger than ever! I would thoroughly recommend this product to anyone. It stops flaking and dryness of the nails, and makes them much stronger. product features: - Maximum Strength Formula. - Strengthens natural nails with protein and calcium. - Helps nails grow harder, longer and stronger and resist peeling, cracking and splitting. Nail Envy can be...

Review of OPI Nail Envy

o.p.i nail envy

Advantages: using the product only takes a matter of days before noticing an improvement on natural nails
Disadvantages: will have to use product a few months to see maximum results on ridged or peeling nails which have to grow out

...when i mention to you the brand opi then you know youre getting quality products for your money. nail envy is one of the best natural nail hardeners on the market as it hardens the nails without making them brittle giving them a tendency to shatter off. there a about five different types of nail envy. ORIGINAL-good if you have a multitude of problems with your nails or are not quite sure which one to use. MATTE-same ingredients as the original but better for people in a proffesion that means they cant wear varnish,it has a glossy sheen to it when applied but dries matte. DRY AND SENSITIVE-this one is best used alongside opi avoplex nail and cuticle oil for best results on dry and ridged nails. PEELING-for anyone who has flaking or peeling nails but this will take longer to see a difference as the flakes have to grow out...

Review of OPI Nail Envy

OPI Nail Lacquer

Advantages: Great choice of colours
Disadvantages: Not sold in many shops

...I had heard lots of recommendations for OPI Nail Lacquers, so when I noticed that my local Boots sold them (by the instore nail bar), and that they were reduced to half price (I got them for £4 each, which was a great deal!), I grabbed a load of them! I should point out that they were reduced because the nail bar was closing down and they wanted to get rid of some stock. OPI have most amazing range of colours to choose from - it took me a long time to pick out the ones I chose. I only wanted a couple, but I couldn't decide between all the gorgeous colours, and as they were on offer I thought I'd treat myself to a few more! They have every colour imaginable; they sell around 10 shades of each of the following colours: neutral tones, rose tones, red tones, purple tones, pink tones, peach tones, orange tones, mauve tones, earth tones...

Review of OPI Nail Varnish

OPI Nail Envy - will power in a bottle!

Advantages: Fantastic results - does exactly what it says on the bottle!
Disadvantages: Tends to go "gloopy" before you finish the bottle

...I don't know about you but it is not just the will power that you need to stop bitting your nails but also REALLY quick results. If this sounds like you then Nail Envy is a fab investment. It comes in lots of different types but my favorite is the original. It is a clear varnish that leaves your nails with a great shine. There are directions for use included in the box but in a nut shell you paint the stuff on your nails everyday for about 7 days. After that you remove with nail varnish remover and start again. The difference with OPI to other types of nail strengthener is that it really does work. The results are great and your nails seem to grow really quick. For impatient people like me that is a real plus. It is qut expensive when you compare it to other strengtheners on the market but I would not even consider...

Review of OPI Nail Envy

Have nails to envy!

Advantages: Have amazing long, strong nails!
Disadvantages: Other people might want to borrow this strengthener!

...This really has got to be my number 1 beauty buy ever (and I definitely don't say that every day!) I first saw this product on QVC (Shopping channel). I've never had terrible nails. I have never bitten them, and all in all they weren't hideous- but still were far from perfect (or the long nails I've always dreamt of). They did tend to peel and wouldn't grow, and as somewhat of a perfectionist they just weren't good enough! ~~~Why did I buy it???~~~ I decided to go ahead and buy it as it was on today's special value (to any of you who aren't QVC fanatics that means that for this day only it was at a special price). The set I bought included Nail envy (original formula), Nail Envy (matte formula), Avoplex cuticle oil, and 2 OPI polishes. I paid £30 for this set which I consider to be good value, as O.P.I Nail Envy is £15.25 on it...

Review of OPI Nail Envy

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. i will never stop buying this product. personally i feel the original nail envy is the best product as it does everything. the other products do specific things for your nails and not everything. seriously considering making this one initial payment to make your nails strong...

Review of OPI Nail Envy

OPI works another miracle!

Advantages: acetone free
Disadvantages: none

...why I bought it I first got a mini bottle of this from my mum. And i feel in love with it because it doesn't hurt your cuticles. Because I bite my nails andnail beds i often have cut on my cuticles and i find with normal nail polish removers it really painful. What it looks like It comes in a clearish bottle with a black cap. The actual liquid is a redish colour. how to use take the cap off and tip a bit on to a cotton wool pad or *OPI lint free wipes then hold it onto the nail for about 3 seconds and wipe off, do it again if needed. acetone free this product is acetone free unlike most nail polish removers this is better because acetone is a chemical that when you use it on your nail not only does it strip the nail varnish off it also strips your nail. So this may make it weak and also sting the cuticle and nail beds...

Review of OPI Nail Polish Remover

HELP YOUR NAILS

Advantages: DOESNT SMELL
Disadvantages: MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER REMOVERS

...I am a great fan of all OPI products as they seem to work for me. This product does not contain any alcohol therefore there is no fear of your nails being brittle as this is one of the main causes. It smells great and does not have that usual putrid smell that other removers have. When using other removers one can smell it for sometime afterwards along with my boys and husband moaning that they stink. I am sure that using this products assists to having great nails as it is so gentle on the nails. You will not get that dry feeling after using it either. This product comes in a trial size or full size. The trial size bottle is excellent for holidays. I usually purchase a full bottle and decant it into my trial size bottle for use on holiday. Often QVC have many offers with OPI products or alternatively I have found Amazon to be...
