O.P.I What a Pair! Review



I have been a faithful friend of Sally Hansen's nail strengtheners for some time. Normally if my nails are feeling a little under the weather, I will lay off the polish for a few days, and simply apply a Sally Hansen, to give them a little TLC and get them back to growing glory.

I have, however recently purchased the O.P.I 'What a Pair' set, from ASOS, which contains both the original Nail Envy and the Matte Nail Envy polishes, both for £18.55 (the cost of one on its own!). I have been using the Matte polish from the pair, for around a week now, in the hope that my nails will get a bit stronger and longer. After seeing Nail Envy raved about around the blogging world, I couldn't wait to give it a go.



I really have noticed a difference in the quality of my nails already. You apply two coats initially then one every other day for a few days, then remove and start again, you can wear lacquer over the top, but i'm trying to be good, so they are being little nudists at the moment! My nails are not breaking, flaking or snapping, and they have definitely started to grow, without weakening! It's looking up so far...

I can't wait to see how my nails will look in a few more weeks, but for now I can safely say that this protective polish is living up expertly to its well deserved hype!



Nails and Love, Lauren xx

    These sound great. I feel I need to strengthen my nails with the amount of nail polish I use on them x

      Yeah I have the same issue, I always use a strengthener under my nail polish anyway, which I have found makes a massive difference :)

      Sally Hansen does a few great strengtheners too, I used one which was under £5! I'd definitely check out boots, or even your local supermarket, as there are some great alternatives! :)

      I just couldn't resist the free matte polish offer! I'm definitely not regretting it, especially for this time of year. My nails were in a terrible state before I started applying this! Thanks lovely :)

    I've been wanting OPI Nail Envy for forever, but can't seem to find it anywhere where I live :( I settled for Essie treatment... Seems to be helping so far, but I don't think I'll be able to resist picking this product up if I find it ;)

    Thanks so much for the review! And it's AWESOME that they also have a matte version!!
