OPI Nail Lacquer Review

OPI is a very clever, well established brand. The reel us in with the ginormous ranges of colours and the fabulous, sometimes very witty names.

I wouldn't say they are my absolute favourite brand of polish, probably mostly because the hefty NZ price tag breaks my heart. I've found the formulation varies alot between different colours/finishes. Some I've found have been very long lasting, others chip shortly after application. Some are more opaque then others but sometimes I prefer a more sheer colour. I suppose they are pretty versatile, 2-3 coats and you're guaranteed a great opaque colour.

I've found a few of the bottles in my collection seperate after sitting for a while, so I like to give them a shake every now and then. Always a good excuse to just sit and admire how pretty they are!! I have also had a bottle break on me while travelling with about 5-6 bottles all in a little makeup bag, very hard lesson to learn but they are not indestuctable like I thought!

"Do you Lilac it?" is the best!! If you are a purple fan, do not go past this one!!!

Love the colours, goes on easy and stays on for ages without chipping. Love this product. Only brand of nail polish i own

I love using this glitter polish. I especially love putting it over the top of a black or deep blue polish for something a bit different. The only thing that I found was it was really really hard to remove and did ruin my nails at bit as I had to try so hard to get it off. Otherwise apart from that love the glitter polish.

Who doesn't love a sea of colour? I would change my nails every night if I had the time!

I have always liked OPI's bottles with their sleek black lids (unless you get a crackle or other special which often have a pattern). The clear glass bottle allows you to see the colour inside and the brush glides on so I only have myself to blame when I miss my nail completely.

OPI has amazing colours and a HUGE range of products (including magnetic nail polish - what will they think of next!?!?!) with gorgeous names. In case you weren't already in love with that colour let's give it a name like 'Kiss me I'm Brazilian' to seal the deal.

Easy to apply and resonably long wearing the only thing that lets OPI down is the price. So perhaps more of a splash out rather than a weekly purchase (this coming from the girl who has a draw full of OPI)

However if you are going overseas duty free is your friend! They have great deals on OPI and better still..... If you or someone you know is going to america make them fill their bags as it is sooooooooooooooooooo cheap over there!!

I think everyone is a fan of opi! buy at farmers cause they're $19.95 - definitely best price! you know with opi you're gonna get a good product

I'm in love with the liquid sand polishes. Their texture is just amazing! The dark bronzy gold metallic colour is both classy and royal looking. And I love how individual specks reflects the light sometimes in the sun. This dries super fast and because it's textured you don't have to worry about not having it perfectly smooth. Also, only 1 or at the most two coats are needed and the staying power is great. I've worn this so many times I've used half the bottle already! Goes with pretty much any event and outfit.

Love OPI and their massive range of colours but dont think they stand out against other big brands as much as it's made out, still a fave! but need more wear, some shades last longer than others in the range.

I love OPI polishes. The variety of shades and colours makes them my go to polish. Chips far less than most but still needs a top coat to cement in place. The more classic shades seem to last longer in my experience.

A nice colour for going out at night with a black outfit, and seems to work with most skin tones. As always, has that fab OPI quality too :)

Okay so don't get me wrong I do love OPI, they have the most amazing range of shades . BUT they just don't last long ! I find when I do my nails and I use the OPI base and top coat and within a day sometimes only a few hours it will be starting to chip which is quite disappointing considering its basically $25 a bottle. Really wish that the staying power was better :(
