Our cuticles are one thing we often skimp on when buying products, but OPI's Avoplex Oil proves that we really should take more care of our cuticles to have healthy and great looking nails. Although it's an oil it is not as greasy as you might expect and the results are instant as well as long-term. After just one application cuticles are nourished and appear neat and healthy, and after a couple of weeks nails are growing stronger and look cared for.

A rich and indulgent cream, ideal for those with particularly dry hands. Good for wintertime and if your hands are often in water.

Applied twice a day you will really see an improvement to your hands as they look younger, smoother and are generally in much better condition. Apply a little at a time - too much and it'll make your hands quite greasy.

This is a good cream for the 'white glove treatment' - apply in a generous layer, pop on some cotton gloves and wear overnight.

FANTASTIC!! Never have we seen such a quick drying top coat with such a high shine. It's tough too... it dries rock solid, difficult to chip and scratch this. An excellent high gloss on bare nails and super on nail art - dare we say we think this is even better than OPI's Rapi'Dry? YES, it is better! And cheaper too.

A nail strengthener to solve all nail problems from splitting, peeling, brittleness, etc. This is the matte formula of OPI's original Nail Envy. It is excellent if you don't like over-shiny nails or shouldn't wear make-up, so great for men and health care workers.

It is a treatment, so there is a weekly course of applications which are repeated each week until you are happy with your nails, hoever you can continue to use it as a regular application to maintain strong nails.

The full size product is 15ml, though some kits contain 3.75ml travel sizes.
