My home manicure must-have is this nail strengthener — save 20% on OPI Nail Envy

I've been doing my own manicures at home for years. Not only does it help me save money I would be spending at the salon, it also forces me to take a much-needed break from other tasks. My nails are now one of the things I get complimented on the most, but perfecting the process took years of practice. After lots of trial and error, I can now say that the secret to a good manicure is a good base coat, and there's no better one I've tried than OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. Plus, it's on sale now during Amazon's Summer Beauty Event.
I originally started using Nail Envy on its own to help my nails recover for a few days in between manicures. Weeks with polish on my nails could leave them peeling, brittle, or dehydrated. Once applied, the nourishing ingredients in Nail Envy's formula, like biotin, calcium, and vitamins, had them looking and feeling good as new in no time. The shiny finish also looks great on its own. When I don't have time to do my nails, quickly swiping on two coats of the fast-drying formula makes my nails look more put together in seconds. I've even gotten compliments on my nails when I only have clear Nail Envy on.
But using Nail Envy as a base coat under regular polish is the real game changer. Like other base coats, it evens out the texture of my nails, making it a great canvas to paint more polish on top of. Not only does using it as a base coat make my manicures last longer, it also strengthens my nails over time and keeps them protected underneath the polish, so they still look and feel healthy after removing it. Nail Envy is also available in different colors, so you can play around with layering them.
With over 6,000 five-star reviews, this nail strengthener is clearly also a favorite of Amazon shoppers. "For several years, I had manicures done with powder dip, and a couple of my nails had a bad reaction. I quit those manicures and started using this, and it is wonderful," said one reviewer. "It has really improved the strength of my nails, and my nails are getting very healthy once again. Great product!"
"Wow! OPI Nail Envy exceeded my expectations. I've always liked the regular OPI Nail Lacquers, but Nail Envy is a much better and stronger formula for weak nails. I've been having problems with my nail tips flaking and peeling. I work a very hands-on retail job, and handling freight and merchandise is really hard on our nails and cuticles. I've tried other strengthening polishes, but they didn't hold up well," said another reviewer. "This stuff does! It's way more durable for daily wear than I expected. My hands actually look nice!"
With the current Summer Beauty Event discount on Amazon, OPI Nail Envy is 20% off. Add it to your cart now for just $16 while the deal lasts, and check out our full roundup of the best deals from the Amazon Summer Beauty Event.

Design, sturdiness, ease of assembly, good instructions included." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $39.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors; also available in a 4-tier version) A wicker papasan swivel chair made for curling up in.

This chair + you + your "to be read" pile = a match made in heaven. Promising review: "I love this chair. The navy blue matched our other patio furniture and looked awesome. I love that it swings. So relaxing. I find myself reading outside much more often. Also, reached out to customer service regarding a question, and they responded very quickly. I would definitely recommend this chair!" —aubreyPrice: $197.19+ (available in 15 colors) Speaking of TBR piles, a five-tier bookshelf because, if you're anything like me, your collection is simply totally out of control and you need somewhere to organize your 435 unread books.

Promising review: "It is sturdy which is exactly what I had been looking for, when erasing something it won't move at all. All the parts were included, and it fits just right in my room. The color is amazing and it is long enough to have my computer, an ipad and some papers. Extremely comfortable and it took about 2 hours to build but directions were clear so it was not too hard." —SolPrice: $94.99+ (available in six sizes and seven colors) A dining room buffet cupboard with two cabinets and room for nine wine bottles. It's so stylish and versatile that you can use it to store your tableware or as a bar cart. Promising review: "Very sturdy. Great quality.

Compared to others, this is exceptionally priced." —Amazon Customer Price: $139.99 (available in two colors) A vintage-inspired rattan sideboard for, let's face it, hiding away all of the things that don't really have a designated home. Reviewers say it's comparable to a more expensive designer piece, and it'll look so cute in any space. Promising review: "This piece was a beautiful addition to my small apartment. I am using it as a microwave stand, and a liquor cabinet below. I put it together by myself in less than two hours. It's modern and feels sturdy. Highly recommend!" —Lindsay AmosPrice: $159.99 (also available in the sizes/configurations) A stunning makeup vanity set complete with a lightbulb mirror because your life's a movie and you're the main character. There's plenty of storage space, and it even comes with a cushioned stool. Promising review: "I absolutely love this vanity! I have a bad back and this table is perfect to keep my back from hurting while standing to do my hair and makeup. Although I didn't place the lights in the exact place per instructions.

It has a whole lot more storage than I had anticipated, very pleased!!!!! If you're trying to decide, trust me, you need to choose this one, you won't be sorry!!" —Karen KeithPrice: $66.99+ (available in eight colors and packs of two) A dining table, chairs, and bench set so you can gather 'round for an intimate dinner party, even in the smallest of spaces.

Even with the cost of shipping, this is the perfect table setup, especially for an apartment or a studio! It's wonderfully made. The assembly is even easy for me! It's sturdy, and it looks great! It tucks away up against a wall nicely to allow for more space, then is easily pulled out when you need it for guests, dining, or work area! Literally, everybody who has walked into my apartment (even the apartment manager!) has exclaimed how much they love this table! Look no further, you've found what you have been searching for!" —Cindy GarrettPrice: $109.99+ (available in three finishes) A sectional sofa for all of your lounging needs. You can move the seats around every which way you like, and some of the seats even lift up to reveal some sneaky storage space. Promising review: "Absolutely loving this couch! It was easy to assemble and convenient to put into place. We've got three small dogs, and it's holding up amazingly well with them playing on it. The texture of the fabric doesn't show any dog nail marks, and it's been a breeze to wipe up. It did take a short while to break the cushions in for comfort because it's pretty stiff foam, but it's now super comfortable and I expect it to last us for years and years. I purchased the extended warranty and love the fact that if I have any issues with it, it's covered, and we can replace individual pieces if needed. The storage in each piece is what I've been searching for for years now!" —SusanPrice: $1,044.99+ (available in five sizes/syles and four colors) A live-edge wooden bench to give your space a nature-chic vibe in the most versatile way. Sit on it, store things on it, rest your feet on it — you can even use it as a coffee table, entryway seat, or at the foot of your bed. The best part? A lil' wear and tear will make it look *even* better. Promising review: "This table is heavy, strong, and easy to put together. It's not wimpy; it's solid. The legs are a strong metal made to support the weight of the wood. The wood is beautifully finished, smooth, and I love the live-edge look. It looks awesome on our patio. I'm very pleased with this purchase. Great value for the dollar!" —Carol $129.99+ (available in three sizes) A four-piece patio set because 'tis the season for backyard BBQs and garden get-togethers.

Promising review: "So thrilled with this furniture; clear assembly instructions and size is perfect for under a 10x10 gazebo! I did not expect the oh so comfy pillows!! Pleasant surprise. Also, this came with a cover so do not purchase one! Still don't know about durability but this is a perfect set for our needs. The box for cushions is very roomy and has a liner to keep them clean and dry. Highly recommend." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $379 (available in two colors) A round two-tier coffee table to give your living space some ~curve~ appeal. You can choose from four different finishes, so it can seamlessly blend in with your existing decor. Promising review: "Just what I was looking for.

CharettePrice: $159.99 (available in four colors) A floor lamp that'll help brighten things up without having to switch on the main light.

It was super simple to put together, and the base is heavy enough so my cats never knock it over. I like the dimmable knob feature, which is easily accessible and so much classier than the lamps with a chain or a button. It really makes my apartment feel like home! 10 out of 10." —Andrea CareyPrice: $36.99+ (available in 14 colors) A classic console table for giving guests a stylish welcome in your entryway. It'll look its best when displayed with plant friends, candles, family photos, and all those coffee table books that you've no intention of ever reading. Promising review: "I am so pleased with this table. It is better than I expected. I bought the yellow table and it is as described: bright yellow and very sturdy. It was easy for my husband to put together. I would highly recommend." —GailPrice: $58.28+ (available in 16 colors) An industrial-style ladder shelf that'll store all of your favorite knick-knacks. It has a 4.7-star rating for its design and durability, so if you've been contemplating some new shelving, this is your sign to hit the purchase button. Promising review: "Metal is heavy duty. Cool industrial black. The shelves are super nice and don't scuff or dent easily! Fairly easy to put together! Super sturdy! Gives the perfect look I was going for! Don't hesitate to purchase; the quality is great!! I would rebuy in a heartbeat! I'm so glad I did!" —Just a PersonPrice: $109.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors) A faux leather futon sofa to bring in all of the luxury and glamor of a *real* leather couch without the price tag. It comes in loads of different colors and the ridged detailing gives it a little somethin' extra. Promising review: "It's not too hard for me, and not too soft for me. Li like that I can lower one arm rest to lay on it comfortably but also keep them off for just sitting. The size is great for my small space and the faux leather has a nice feel. My cats love sleeping on it too." —Daniel SederquistPrice: $170.99+ (available in seven colors) A rolling vintage-style bar cart because who says happy hour can only take place at a restaurant? It has mirrored shelves and storage space for bottles and glasses. Get ready to make summer Fridays even more exciting! Promising review: "Lovely gold color with mirrored shelves top and bottom. Plenty of storage to add all the essentials. Great product for the price!" —ChristylinPrice: $64.58+ (available in two sizes and three colors) A set of accent chairs to add some bold, shimmery color to your bedroom, dining space, or home office — basically, anywhere that you want to have a fancy chair. With plush velvet fabric and gold detailing, they look *so* much more expensive than they actually are. Promising review: "These chairs really add to the look of my dining area and match my navy cabinetry and other accents. The velvet is so soft — not all fake crunchy-feeling like some can be! Textures can bother me, but I love the feel of these. While cushioned, the chair is fairly firm and a bit narrow. An above-average-sized person might find these a bit snug. The gold tone is obviously a little fake, with a yellow-y look to it, but it's so low it blends fine with other shades of gold that I have in the room. Well packaged, easy to assemble, and great value!" —SatchesonPrice: $118.66+ (available in five colors) A china hutch that may actually have more storage than you have things. It's an incredibly versatile piece that reviewers use for tableware, mail, glasses, bottles, toys, wine, and more. Promising review: "The picture doesn't do the hutch justice. It's a beautiful piece of furniture. It's very sturdy. It's also got a lot of storage, which I was happy about. The labeling of pieces was easy to follow, and everything aligned correctly." —LegendPrice: $287.89+ (available in five colors) A velvet ottoman for sitting, storing, and everything in between. The plush fabric gives it a luxurious finish and reviewers say that it's extremely sturdy. Promising review: "I didn't quite know what to expect when I ordered this, you never know what you're going to get sometimes. When I open this I was amazed. The quality is awesome, the velvet is so soft. It's a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be which is exciting. It's actually comfortable to sit on. It's nice and sturdy as well. All around 100% love!" —Meg RaleyPrice: $35.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors) A television stand because it's *so* much more than just a resting place for your TV. There's a bunch of storage space inside and out, and it's easy on the eyes, too. Promising review: "I love my TV stand. It took me and a very helpful toddler about an hour and 30 minutes to assemble; I think it would be better with the help of another adult because if one piece breaks, the whole stand will be ruined. It's very sturdy and adds so much elegance to my living room. I love it!!!" —Noemi GarciaPrice: $140.99+ (available in four colors) A simple yet stylish side table to amp up your space in an instant. Reviewers say that it's really easy to assemble and feels pretty sturdy for displaying books, plants, and more. Promising review: "Nice little table that was extremely easy to put together and looks nice. It's a great height for right beside a couch or chair for decor or to put a mug on. It doesn't wobble and feels pretty sturdy. I would definitely recommend this product if you're looking for a simple side table!" —Emily JohnsonPrice: $36.99+ (available in nine colors and in sets of two) A set of dresser drawers since this is the year you stop throwing all of your clean laundry on top of THE chair. These ones are — spoiler alert — made from fabric and are extremely lightweight, but you can't tell me that they don't look just as good as wooden drawers. Promising review: "I've been looking for a dresser or storage unit for some time. I ordered this one not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised by how much it can hold. If you're looking for storage that's not bulky but can hold a lot, this is it!" —Lynette WorthyPrice: $47.50+ (available in 18 colors) An upholstered platform bed frame aka the foundation of a great night's sleep. The tufted detailing on the headboard makes it look so chic and, according to the over 38,500 5-star reviews, it's very, very well made. Is it bedtime yet? Promising review: "Purchased this to replace my Ikea bed frame. The quality is good and does not make any noise, which is the reason I got rid of the Ikea frame. Assembly was super easy. My nephew and I tackled it in 30 mins. Bed now feels more comfortable and looks great." —Armando CastellanosPrice: $129.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and six colors)

This Portable Induction Cooktop Is the Hero That Got Me Through a Kitchen Remodel

Weeks before we started our kitchen remodel, we asked for advice from friends and neighbors about how they survived the experience. But nothing truly prepares you for the daily inconvenience of not having a fully functioning kitchen. While my kids would've voted to eat at a local taqueria whenever possible, I was determined to continue cooking at home -- and make better than passable meals everyone would eat. After a failed attempt at using a microwave (I don't want to talk about it), I bought a Duxtop portable induction cooktop burner, put it on the workbench in the garage and made every meal on it through the rest of the remodel. The Duxtop portable cooktop typically goes for $139, but right now you can get it for about $10 off at Amazon. How does an induction cooktop burner work? I didn't really understand till I got one, but an induction cooktop generates heat by creating a magnetic field that flows into a metal pan. Not all metal pans will work -- my aluminum pans remained as cold as my disconnected gas range. Instead, you need a pan or pot made of a magnetic metal like cast iron or stainless steel. I have several enameled cast iron pots that worked great, and I bought a Tramontina stainless steel 10-inch pan for frying. I started simply, making pasta, using sauce out of a jar, but by the end of the remodel, I was making Baja fish tacos from scratch and homemade Bolognese sauce. And I was surprised how much I loved cooking on it. My family started avoiding me while I was in the garage cooking because I'd boast about how amazing induction was. "Look!" I'd tell them. "The cooktop stays cool!" Or, "Check this out! When I take the pot off the cooktop, it pauses heating!" During a kitchen-warming party we threw for our neighbors after our new kitchen was finished, I learned our friend across the street had the same love for her induction cooktop. We huddled like allies, devoted to this magnetic object. Now that the kitchen is done, I'm thinking of ways I can keep using the cooktop. Maybe, when I'm cooking a big meal and need an extra burner, I can set it up on the counter. Maybe I can use it outdoors during a cookout. Or maybe I can give it to one of my kids as they set up their own home. I actually love it so much, when it comes time to swap out our gas range, I'm going to get an induction cooktop.
