I LOVES THIS SO FREAKIN MUCH!

I ALSO LOVE..... the ORIGINAL FORMULA and NAILTEK II FOUNDATION


This works as well as the original finish. I use it as a base coat. It has never peeled and it lasts as long as I want it to.


It actually has a sheen finish...not really a true matte.... Though,the N.Tek II FNDN is.


If you have thin, peeling, bending and slow growing nails that just rips and bends........BUY ONE OF THESE STRENGTHENERS!


I rotate between N.TK and N.Envy and I now have good looking nails. My nails were horrible!!!! I was so jealous of my sisters and my mommys strong long nails. I wanted their nails! Unfortunately, I did not get that gene! :( Ever since I can remember my nails bent backwards and forwards and therefore could not keep any lacquer on for more than 24hrs.


Enter N.TEK II FN......I used it for about 2 months and it was doing something. Ladies, it did burn my cuticles at first... so just keep these strengtheners away from them.


Remember this ladies....It takes many weeks to see results. The "bad" parts need to grow out. So the newer growth can be strengthened. So don't give up after only a few weeks! ;)


All was going well and then I needed something different/ stronger for my right pointer and middle nails and WOW ENVY did it!


I was so scared I would ruin the entire progress I had made with my N.TK.... but I gave it a shot.(Many other products have made my nails peel like crazy... and made them worse...so yeah, I was scared!) lol THANK GOODNESS IT DIDN'T! These are 2 rocking products that has never made my nails peel and 100% WORKS! WOW! I now have long, stronger and absolutely NO PEELING nails!!!YAY ME!


Here is my process....


Use a glass file only! Emery and metal files do not seal edge and therefore makes them peel.


I massage in a cuticle oil/cream 2 times a day(underneath too)


In the beginning I used the N.TEKII as it was directed on the box... for 2-3 weeks or so. Follow the directions as stated, though I actually put another coat on daily and not every other day as stated.


Then you can start to use these as a base coat under your lacquer.


I apply 2 coats of one of these as a base, then 2 layers of lacquer. (I only use OPI lacquer cuz it is the only formula for me that actyaly lasts. Also,the application is like butter. All other drugstore brands really did peel off of my nails the same/next day.... I do wash my hands a lot) But, the OPI formula does last on me for awhile! Yay!!!


I also, use a quick dry top coat to finish them off. A little note: PUT IT ON WHILE THE LACQUER IS WET, or it will peel off the next day! So it can work with all the layers. (I love Seche, it has a harder protective coat. I love to tap loudly on my desk now! lol!) But also I love Poshe, its thinner though. But, it does not shrink the polish as much as Seche.) (To stop the shrinkage go side ways first at the top edge and then follow through over the edge when applying it normally)


I now have to file every 5 days or so and they are way above my fingers. I just squared them off and they feel even harder than when they were filed the regular way!YAY ME! YAY for NAIL ENVY and NAIL.TEK II FNDN!

Unfortunately this made my nails yellow, which is too bad because otherwise I liked it. I didn't realize what was causing the yellowing, but when I read the other reviews complaining about it, (apparently not everyone experiences it) I had already purchased a second bottle, which is also too bad b/c it is $20 Cdn. I have thrown it out since I doubt that London Drugs will accept returns of this kind. Oh well, back to Witchcraft I guess....

I am not a fan of the new matte polish trend and was initially skeptical of the look this would result in, but it's great. This is an excellent treatment product. I don't typically wear color on my fingernails (as apposed to my deep, dark and glittery pedicure fetish) and OPI Matte gives great manicured results with a subtle sheen. Just excellent.

It worked decently as a strengthen, but I found the polish actually absorbed the ink from newsprint and turned a yucky gray. Not a good choice for ladies who like to read the newspaper.

As a reformed nail biter (slaps wrist) I needed help to grow my nails. They were so brittle and weak, they’d snap as soon as I managed to grow them to a neat and paintable length. Say hello to one of my beauty must-haves; Nail Envy. The MATT formula was the one that first helped me grow my nails.


Once you’ve grown your nails, you don’t throw this into a drawer & forget about it, oh no. Day to day lifting, carrying, cooking & cleaning means that your nails will never stop needing that protective barrier. The MATT formula is perfect to use as a base coat & I’ve found it to prevent any staining after I used dark polish.


I’ve tried out loads of different topcoats over the years, with varying degrees of success. One day I used my MATT (the bottle was within reach & my usual topcoat was in a drawer). The formula doesn’t affect the colour of my polish & I went for 4/5 days chip free (I use a self powered wheelchair). For me, this is a great result.


When you first see the price you’ll think it’s expensive, but when you consider that it’s strengthener, basecoat & topcoat in one, the price is reasonable.

I have bought this stuff for YEARS and it's the only thing I will ever use as a base coat. B/C this is a matte formula, I think it helps to fill in ridges in the nails. It does a great job at strengthening the nails! I don't even follow the directions (supposed to use everyday) and my nails never break or chip. I use it only 1x a week, as a base coat when I do my nails. Worth every penny.

I really like this product. After applying two coats, there is just a very subtle sheen. Very nice for those who like a very understated look. A little pricey, but a good product.

An HG for me! I put on one coat every 1-2 days on my fingers and remove with polish remover about twice a week.

It goes on easily and dries quickly. It gives nails a sheen, like I've just done a good buff job.

This stuff has definitely made my nails stronger. They grow longer and are less likely to break or snag.

Although no color is too wild for my toes, I keep my fingernails well manicured, buffed, and bare of color. Bare of color, but not bare of Nail Envy Matte. I've been using it for years and it keeps my fingernails looking well groomed and pretty. AND, there's no question that it keeps them thick, hard, and healthy. Never fails to draw compliments. From time to time, I've tried other products, but I always come back to this one and don't want to ever be without it.

This product really delivers! If you use this every other day you will see an improvement in your nails...I certainly did..& I bit for years...now have strong nails.
