OPI nail range
      #301919 - 09/01/2009 17:16

Hi everyone from snowy Belgium -minus 11 at the moment! Have any of you used OPI nail envy and the nail lacquers themselves? Have tried Nails Inc but the polishes dont last more than a couple of days- if anyone knows who stocks this in the Glasgow area I'd be interested- and maybe a nail bar too?

Bon Appetite!

I love this range. Nail Envy is one of my hero products. I don't wear colours but I know their lacquers are very good. Sorry I can't help with a nail bar but QVC sell the products.

Love OPI!

My nails used to flake and split, but not since I started using Nail Envy.


The polishes are superb, they give a great shine and really last. In fact, I've given up buying Chanel polishes since I discovered OPI.

OPI top brand, I have lacquers that are years old & they are still good (I have many ) they all have such great names too.
If you go to www.lenawhite.co.uk you can put in your postcode (Lena brought OPI over here way back then) you'll be sure to find somewhere.

I love OPI - the Russian & French ranges are fab. My local Beauty salon has them but you can get them online as citygirl says

My toes lasts ages although fingers usually about a week (the nail polish that is not the actual digits!)

Bel, some big branches of Boots stock it but so do many, many beauty salons, check yours locally.

its not just what you put on your nails, try taking High Strength Silica Complex from H&B, really does help. If you are taking medication check with your GP first.

Any good beauty salon will sell Nail Envy. There are a couple of types, but the original is best.

I used to have dreadful nails, but not any more.

Hi Jalila

You can get OPI in Glasgow in Sally's at the bottom of Howard street, it used to be called Salon Services and sells all stock for hair and beauty salons but the public can also purchase from there.They have also got a smaller branch in Union Street across from Central Station but don't know if they stock OPI

Hope this helps
Teresa

OPI great and long lasting - as is Jessica but since moving i haven't found a good beautician that uses them.

China Glaze is very good... although a bit hard to get hold of... I order mine from the web, an american site, good shipping rates & arrives quickly.

Hi Jalila

I am a big fan of OPI too! At first I thought they were too expensive but the varnishes do seem to be very long lasting (and glossy) and don't seem to chip as easily as some of the cheaper brands. I usually buy them from QVC when there is an OPI Today's Special Value offer and you then get several items in a set at a much cheaper price than if you were to buy them individually.

I agree that Nail Envy is a good nail strengthener but I wouldn't buy it on its own from QVC, because of the postage and packing they add on to everything, I would probably buy it from Boots instead. Unfortunately Boots don't stock the colours so I just buy those from QVC.

Another Nail Envy fan here - I've been using it for about 3 years now and am completely hooked! I don't wear colours often, but when I do I always use OPI and they stay on for about a week without chipping and are always glossy.
