Oh my OPI!

Half of my nail polish collection is OPI. I just can't pass up all the gorgeous colours with their cute names. It lasts well (especially using their top coat) and always gets compliments - which I love because you get to share the fun names!! The only OPI I have owned that went gluggy is the shatter, which I wasn't that impressed with anyway (review on here) Some of my Faves - Diva of Geneva, It's MY Year, Black Cherry Chutney and I'm not Really a Waitress.

Tips: I like how their website has a testing part where you can adjust the hand to your skin colour and try on the shade. It gives you a bit of an idea whether a shade works with your skin tone. But to get a real idea of what the polish looks like and avoid disappointment in a shade it's best to google swatches as often people have pictures of them in different lights.

Love it but....

OPI is the go to brand for nail polish because they have an amazing range, are always bringing in new colours etc., and are pretty good quality. However, personally I think that for the price you pay, I would expect slightly better quality. Don't get me wrong, the finish, colour payoff and packaging are great, but I have found that OPI chips easier than other brands. I still buy them, but if I can get the same colour at a better price in another brand, I will try the other:) Otherwise, LOVE IT♥

Tips: apply a base coat, a few coats of colour and a non chip top coat to help the polish stay on longer:)

Absolutely love it!

I've had my nails done for years. New tips, back fills and pedicures and I always choose OPI Nail Lacquer - a different colour each time. The range of colours is wonderful and the quality is excellent. No chipping and very little fading.

With a top coat my nails last 3/4 weeks. Yes, I am sold on this product and always happy to recommend it. Pay a little more and get the best, its worth it.

Tips: Download the OPI app for up to date colour range!

Opulent OPI

What a splendid product. I love OPI nail polishes and I have a number of these delightful nail polishes in a variety of superb shades. I cannot say enough about this product. It is a little expensive, yes, agreed but it is worth the extra that you spend on it. It lasts longer and does not chip like other nail polishes. With a large number of other nail polishes when you use a bright colour it shows chips, streaks and peels easily, you don't get that with OPI. You never need more than 2 coats to get a deep rich colours. This polish does not chip with normal regular use. I work in childcare and am in and out of water, sandpits, paints you name it we do it, OPI can handle the tough work out that I give it. Honestly my favourite nail polish brand!!!

Tips: Keeping it in the fridge ... being in the fridge the nail polish does not thicken.

OPI Nail Lacquer

I am a nail polish junkie and I must say, OPI is by far my favourite nail polish brand! The consistency is nice (not too thin or too thick), and the colours are quite pigmented (depending on the colour itself). One of the things I like most about it is that they are also easy to apply and also dries quickly in a reasonable amount of time. It is also fairly easy to remove the nail polish (apart from their glitter polishes, which are just as hard to remove as any other glitter nail polish) and they don't usually stain your nails (but again, this is dependent on the colours, as some colours are more likely to cause slight staining than others). I always apply a base coat and a top coat, and I find that my OPI nail polishes usually last for about a week without chips. However, this will be different for everyone as it depends on what kind of jobs/activities you do that will affect your nails.

The only thing I don't like is how it is so hard to pick which colour to buy, and then to decide which colour I want to apply as well (since there are so many colours to choose from in their range). To be honest, that's about the only thing that I don't like about the OPI nail polish range, if that even counts at all! If you can save up for one, I would really recommend trying it. I did, and now I've never looked back! :)

Tips: Don't forget to apply a base coat before you apply a coat of the chosen nail polish colour. I would say 2-3 coats of the nail colour should be sufficient to get the optimum colour coverage (from what I have found). Then once that has dried, seal it all up with a top coat to protect the nail polish.

OPI - Simply the Best

I have been buying OPI nail polishes for years and now have far too many to count! Out of all the nail polish brands I have tried, they're still my favourite. I find the consistency is great, smooth and not too thick or thin. They apply easily and have a nice brush tip which delivers a good amount of varnish, I usually use two coats with OPI to achieve a thick, solid colour, although some of the colours you can get away with one. The finish has a nice shine even without a top coat, although I still recommend using one to keep it looking good longer. The colour removes easily and I find that even without a base coat, I have never found they stain my nails which is great. Pricewise, you can often get OPI polishes on special at makeup clearance sales, NZ Sale, ilovebeauty.co.nz and OnceIt, which can save you a fair bit as the individual price tends to be a bit higher than some. One of my favourite things about OPI polish is the branding, the always have such cool names and colours! Overall I would definately recommend OPI.

Tips: The bottles last forever, keep them in the fridge especially in the warmer months to stop the product thickening. If it does, try putting a few drops of nail polish remover in it to help thin it out. Also, if you're not too sure if a colour is really you, try the OPI minis! They're great value for trying out some of the fun and interesting shades OPI comes out with.

The best nail brand you can buy

OPI is one of those really trustworthy brands that anyone can count on. No matter what colour or shade you are looking for, chances are OPI has it. I would say my only problem with OPI is the price, it can be very expensive. Sometimes they have some really cute packs come out, such as the Mickey mouse ones. Not only are there so many colours but theres a great range of types, such as the crackle nail polish or liquid sands. I would recommend OPI to my friends because its one of those nail polish brands that you can always trust and know it will do a good job.

Tips: Use 2 coats of colour and use an undercoat and top coat otherwise it chips really easy!

An apple a day...

Yummy gorgeous delicious red that I wear regular on fingers and toes for a classic pop of colour. OPI is one of those reliable brands you just know is going to go on great with lasting colour so it's just a matter of which colour and as far as reds go this is my fave because it's bright and beautiful.

Tips: Red and dark polishes take longer to dry than their lighter counterparts (due to higher amounts of pigment) so allow yourself plenty of time for drying off after application and always apply a base coat when using darker/bright colours otherwise you'll end up with stained nails. Use a top coat for longer lasting, chip free colour.

A great polish but pricey

I do enjoy the OPI range. They have an easy to use brush & a huge colour range. Because the polish is highly pigmented 2 coats is all you need. Along with a good base & top coat application looks smooth & professional. In terms of chipping I wouldnt say that this brand is more chip resistant then anyone else. Sometimes I can have a weeks worth of wear without chips & other times it is chipped the next day. The biggest down side to OPI is the price tag while it's a good polish I dont think it warrents the $20+ it retails for. Your better of trying to grab it at a sale although colours will be limited.

Tips: This polish is suited to nail art due to the high pigmentation. I prefer to use it for nail stamping in particular as the lightest of colours can still stand out.

OPI - It's a love and hate kind of relationship.

I am a lover of OPI Nail Lacquer, and always have been. They have the best selection of colours you could dream of. However I do find that no matter how I store my OPI collection, it is always the last 20% of product that is 'gloopy' and therefore difficult to apply. There are tricks that one can do to create a nicer consistency, but I am also aware that with some other brands I do not have this issue at all. Perhaps it is all in the ingredients used? Then there is the price, it's expensive! On a positive note, I also love the packaging. As I said it's a love hate kind of relationship!

Tips: Store in a drawer where your collection of OPI will be less effected by the changes of temperature. Also there are specific products you can buy to thin out your Lacquers but if you have no such thing you can actually use a few drops of nail polish remover and shake well.
