I love OPI

I love OPI Nail Polish, it's so easy to apply, the dry time is good, and the colours are gorgeous, the only thing I don't like about OPI is that apparently they test on animals :( don't know if I would purchase again just for that reason, I would probably rather look around for a different good brand. Having said that, doing my nails using OPI is just great.

Amazing Colour Selection

Probably the best thing about OPI is their vast selection of colours and various finishes! the bottles are a nice size, the brush is comfortable to hold and applies really well over the nail. Application really depends on the shade and I have found the polishes I own dry reasonably quickly which is a big thing for me. I don't buy these at full price, although the polishes are lovely I don't think they WOW for the most part.

Tips: When it comes to a splurge on nails, I think you'd be better to invest in a nice topcoat like Seche Vite which penetrates all of your polish layers, turning it into one solid layer that dries quickly and solid.

do's and don'ts

I do enjoy opi, however I work at subway and my nails chip constantly so I've picked up a few tips to help them last longer.

Tips: firstly, apply thin coats REALLY UBER THIN! then wet your nails, then do the second coat. secondly, if it doesn't bother you, cut your nails quite short, it helps with not chipping and defiantly last longer. I'm yet to try a base and top coat, 1 because their pricey, 2 because im lazy hehe. xx

Generally amazing

I've tried a few different colours from OPI and I think their selection is amazing but I don't think the quality throughout the whole range is overly consistent.

Some colours I've tried are awesome and have amazing lasting power, but some end up peeling completely off my nails by the second day of wear.

An awesome positive to OPI that i've found is that none of them have stained my nails, which is amazing. Almost all nail polishes apart from OPI will stain my nails and I hate that, so avoiding stained nails is a big thing for me (especially when i'm so bad at remembering to use a base coat).

I would totally recommend people trying these out, it's worth it for the colours and selection, just not always the lasting power - but everybody's different and may have amazing results with each one they try :)

Tips: Base and top coat ;)

Worth the splurge

The quality of the formula varies from colour to colour and they may be a little pricey but overall I love OPI Polishes. They have an amazing range of colours and textures, are relatively easy to apply to your nails, and don't take a lot of time to dry. My favourite colour has to be Fly from the Nicki Minaj range!!

Tips: If you're using any of the polishes that are extremely glittery, you'll need to use a few layers of base coat to make it easier for you to remove in future. Otherwise, you'll have bits of glitter stuck to your nails for weeks!

OPI nail polish

Opi has been great with their range of colors and staying on top of trends bringing different collections.although some of the colors are very similar to each other but they are gorgeous. Generally they are very good quality.you definately require 2coats for better color payoff.need to have patience and time to allow drying.i bought most of the shatters which were a big waste of money as the dried in the bottle after afew uses.

Fab! Except for one flaw...

I LOVE OPI Nail Lacquer, it is one of the most high quality nail polishes on the market and comes in the most spectacular range of colours- literally every colour for every occasion. Like many high quality items, the price can be a bit of a bank breaker, however if you can stock up at one of the massive beauty sales it's all good! Price aside, my main issue with OPI is the drying time, it seems to take forever! And even when you think it's dry, it's not as I always seem to end up with the criss-cross marks from materials etc. If you have the time to sit around and wait for it to dry, then OPI is my number 1 go-to.

Tips: Like any nail polish/lacquer, a base and top coat will make it last longer :)

OPI Nail Lacquer

I do love OPI but I'm not big on spending lots of money on cosmetics for myself so i do tend to just grab a $2 shop nail polish when i am need of a colour i don't have, but when i have a little money to spend on myself OPI is my first pick. It has great pigmentation, the bristle is fantastic, 3 glide application! So super fast and alot less painting over the lines for us not so steady handed :) . OPI drys very quickly compared to most polishes and i find i don't get my blanket imprints or a mooched colour in the morning even though i painted my nails at least 3 hours before bed. The colours are amazing! there are so many to choose from which makes picking one so much harder! I dont think an OPI colour has dissapointed me yet. Usually i find it is really hard to achieve the colour shown and the colour it ends up applying.

Tips: Head to your next bucket sale to buy one of these little beauties and save yourself money :)

O.P.I

O.P.I is the first nail polish brand that I head to when looking for new colours as they have an amazing range with numerous shades of pinks, blues and of course glitter nail polish when your feeling up. On their own without any base or top coat they never last very long, they start to chip so it pays to get the two protector coats.

Tips: Make sure not to get too much polish on the brush, it is quite runny and a little goes a long way.

Great colours and quality

OPI is a must have for anyone who loves painting their nails. They have a great colour range, and different types the only thing I would say is that I make sure to use a top coat because otherwise they don't last very long.
