OPI Nail Envy Strengthener Review & Haul

Heys Guys,
This week I have a Haul of things I bought: some quite recently and some a few weeks ago. Also, there's gonna be a Review for O.P.I's Nail Envy Strengthener. So stick around till the end for the REVIEW.

So this is all the stuff I got recently.

So I got this plain White color from Essie.  Its was also re-released from their Summer collection.

Next is a Polish from Essie's Luxe Effects line.

Very shiny with fine gold glitter. Has a jelly-like consistency when applied.

4-in-1 Nail buffer from Target.

This is my second one since my first one got used up and worn.

Nail Stickers from the FaceShop

Can be used for French Tip manicures. A Korean brand.

REVIEW

This was the one I bought. The Nail Envy for Sensitive and Peeling Nails.

This has always been one of my problems. If I use nail polish for too long a period of time, my nails will start to peel and crack so I bought this to see if it could help.

First off, I LOVE IT. There are 6 different ones to meet different nail problems, Brittleness, Soft & thin nails, Dry, Cracking etc. But I find that this works the best for me. I love that it has all the nutrients and aloe vera etc in it and that it doesn't have the Big 3 chemicals in it.

It comes like this with instructions on how to use.

I followed the instructions EXACTLY and find that it really does work. I put it on for seven days and added  another coat as explained in instructions. Trust me, follow what it says and you will definately get results.

So this is what it looked like when I applied it on my nails.

and AFTER I removed it. I could see a difference. My nails felt harder and stronger. It did not leave my nails yellow at all and my nails did not peel like they usually do after I remove any sort of polish. In fact, I could even see that it reduced some Ridges on my nails! (The ugly horizontal ones) It doesn't remove the ridges but I could see an improvement.

Like all O.P.I polishes, it has the pro-wide brush which means you can use less coats of the product.

It picks up the polish very well and with one dip I could paint on 2 nails, one after the other.

All in all, I am very impressed with this product. For retail it's around $17 and I think it would be worth buying again. I saw an obvious difference in the health of my nails and I can find nothing bad about it really. 

Pros : Heals, Hardens, strengthens and improves sensitive & peeling nails.

Cons: none. 

I'm not saying this will work for everyone since people have different nail types, but for me, it worked wonders!

Thanks for reading. Comment and keep following for more updates!

I was not paid for this review. It is my own, honest opinion.

Brief Nail Polish Strips Review

Hey Guys.
Its time for a quickie review. Its really quick post on what I think about Nail Polish Strips!
In this case, one with a Zebra Design. So basically, for black friday I went to the mall and there was one of those small venders selling these things, I walked by reaaaally slow and YAY the owner let me try a sample. I used the sample and ran away. I feel kinda bad but hey its FREE. This will be a review on what I thought of having it on one nail.

This is what it would like like IF I had bought the whole thing.

 here it is on the ring finger

Pro: These actually look REALLY nice depending on the design you buy. Its looks like it was done by a professional.

It claims that it REAL nail polish. I believe it because I sniffed it and it smells Just like real Nail polish; not only that but the surface texture feels like what smooth, dried nail polish would feel like. 

Pro: Very easy to apply. Just stick it on carefully and just rips off the excess. There is no resistance when you try to tear off the extra bits. File the strip into the shape of your nail and thats it!

Pro: No drying time necessary

Just another angle

Con: Very easy to come off. Just by scratching, you can get it off. You don't even need nail polish remover. (This could be a pro for people who change their nail polish often)

If you do use these, I suggest using a top coat right after you put it on. This way, it will last much longer. (claims to last up to 2 weeks on its on)

Con: Pretty expensive. I think $9? Its almost the same as one bottle of OPI...

Con: Comes in one package of 12 or 16. In both cases, Its not enough for 2 different applications. (you would think that Sally Hansen would be a little more generous and give the 4 more to make it 20...but Noooo) 

__________________________________________

So, Would I ever buy it? Yes, IF I happened to have tons of money because in the long run, $9 for one use does not seem very worth it.

Is is good? ( with top coat) I would say its 8 stars out of 10.
