A great manicure starts with healthy nails and cuticles. OPI's care range covers two very different jobs: strengthening the nail plate itself, and caring for the skin around it. Here is what each product does and how to build a simple routine.
Nail Envy — the iconic strengthener
OPI Nail Envy uses Tri-Flex Technology to help protect nails against chipping, peeling and splitting; OPI reports nails 95% stronger in one week. Choose Original (clear), Bubble Bath (sheer pink) or Pink to Envy. Apply two coats, add a coat every two days, and after a week remove and start again — or wear it as a treatment base coat under colour.
Repair Mode — bond building
OPI Repair Mode is a bond-building nail serum with patented Ulti-Plex Technology that penetrates the nail surface to build new bonds from within. OPI reports 99% nail keratin repair. It is especially useful after gel or acrylic removal.
Other strengthening options
Our base coats and strengtheners include Natural Nail Strengthener and Start to Finish 3-in-1 Treatment, which works as a base coat, top coat and strengthener in one bottle.
Cuticle care
- Glow Up Nail & Cuticle Oil — a vegan blend of macadamia, sunflower, baobab, argan and grapeseed oils, in 8, 15 and 30 mL.
- Good as Gold — a gel-serum cuticle pen for your bag.
- To the Rescue — a rich overnight cuticle balm with jojoba oil and shea butter.
- Soothe & Remove — a conditioning gel that softens stubborn cuticles for easy push-back.
- ProSpa Nail & Cuticle Oil — OPI's professional finishing oil.
Hand and foot care
For a spa pedicure at home: soak with Soften Up Pedi Soak, exfoliate with Smooth It Out Hand & Foot Scrub, then finish with Moisture Mission Hand & Foot Cream. For hands that are washed and sanitized all day, ProSpa Protective Hand, Nail & Cuticle Cream adds a protective layer.
A simple weekly routine
- Remove old polish with Expert Touch Lacquer Remover.
- Soften cuticles with Soothe & Remove and push back.
- Apply Repair Mode to bare nails, or Nail Envy as a base.
- Add colour and top coat.
- Finish every day with Glow Up oil.
Bottom line
Weak nails: Nail Envy or Repair Mode. Dry cuticles: Glow Up oil daily and To the Rescue at night. Shop OPI.
