O.P. Nail Envy® Bubble Bath / Pink To Envy Nail Strengthener Review RRP £21.90


When it comes to strengthening dry, brittle and weak nails, there isn’t any brand that gives results like O.P.I. The original Nail Envy is a cult product that I have personally used since the 90s when discovering the brand on QVC. Now a world-wide leading quality brand on nail colour and specifically treatments, it’s my number one go to when my nails are rigid and brittle. 

Having been through major open back surgery earlier in the year, been on countless medication and putting my nails through gel colour and ‘self removal’ process, my nail health has taken a toll. Brittle, dry and with more ridges than a concertina fan, they’ve been crying out for some TLC. 

Pink To Envy 15ml


I was lucky enough to receive 2 shades from O.P.I (which incidentally stands for (Odontorium Products Inc). Both designed with the Tri-Flex Technology™, which not only treats the nails with nail strengthening ingredients but also protects the nails from further damage. 

Bubble Bath 15ml


The ‘liquid shield’ is designed to work by layering daily on to the nails over a 7 day programme. The formula contains Nitrocellulose and Tribenzoin, ingredients that help protect the nails, condition them whilst allowing them to breathe. 


Other ingredients include Tosylamide/Epoxy Resin which is a polymer and when used in nail products gives strength to weak nails as well as acting as acting as an adhesive, which in turn strengthens and bonds nails, reducing flaking. The formulas are free from chemical nasties such as Formaldehyde, Parabens and other irritants often found in nail colours. 



I tested both colours on my very brittle nails. For the first application you apply 2 thin coats (allowing to dry in between), and thereafter 1 coat daily for a week. At the end of the 7 days, remove and start the process again. 



The Bubble Bath gives a beautiful neutral and very chic pale pink, ideal for every day and a lovely colour for special occasions such as a wedding day. Whilst the Pink To Envy gives a sheer, hint of pink gloss resulting in nails that immediately look healthier. 

I have only started on my journey with these 2 colours and will update in a few weeks. What I will say is that both colours immediately (as you can see from the photo), gave my nails a much needed boost of shine. I have also looked at the reviews and seen from loyal customers that the colours do not chip and do exactly what they say on the bottle!
