Perfect Nail Polish

LOVED this nail polish. The colour is a lovely bronze colour with gold and silver flecks through it. It dries with a sand paper sort of finish which is perfect for people like me who always seem to dent my regular nail polish, this isnt a problem though since this polish dries super fast. Literally takes about 5-10 minutes to dry fully compared to regular nail polishes who are not completly hard even after an hour or more. Loved this polish, is a great colour, interesting finish and so quick to dry. Will be using this a lot in the cooler months. Remember to use a base coat to protect your nails.

Tips: I used two coats of this. I waited for the first coat to be semi dry before applying the second (this literally took a few minutes, you can easily tell when its dry when the 'sand' starts to appear). Waiting for it to dry helped the second coat have something to hold onto rather then just moving the colour around your nail. If the sand finish is not your thing, try a top coat over it to get that shiny smooth finish, shouldnt take too much away from the sandy/matte finish. I would say that this polish will be a wee bit harder then usual to remove, soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover and hold it on the nail for a few minutes, this will loosen up the polish and it should slide off easily.

AAAAMAZZING

I am a regular OPI user infact its the only nail polish i used i expected the liquid sand would be like the glitter nail polishes such as teenage dream, gone gonzo etc ,I really hated this nail polish as i was applying it i thought the colour was fowl and very translucant , but as it dried i found the colour changed to a nicer blue and it is super sparkley the texture feels exactly like sand if you rub your fingertip over it once dry, VERY COOL!! i found it dried really quick also and that doing 2 coats makes it extra glamorous :) love it , would definitly buy liquid sand opi again

Tips: 2 coats for perfection

A: Pretty Magical

I was so excited to recieve this colour, The polish when applied with two coats is true to colour when viewing through the bottle. I really love this as it really suits any outfit and looks amazing for the autumn/winter months. After applying one coat it was quite an transparent more glittery colour, after applying a second coat it became more opaque and metallicy looking, Two coats were enough for me to get the perfect finish. I find that it doesnt take very long to dry to a hard finish compared to other polishes where it can slide around the nail within an hour if your not careful. It really looks like sand! The sheen under light fluctuates between matte, metallicy and sparklyjust like real sand! and the texture is very different to other polishes ive had, but isnt a bad thing either,good for hiding any imperfections in your application so you cant do any wrong! Lives up to its name; Give it a go, you wont be disappointed xx

Tips: Apply base coat to protect your nail, apply 2-3 coats, no need to apply top coat if you want the liquid sand effect, it chips less then other polishes xx

Absolutely Beautiful, works for any occasion

This was the first time that I had the opportunity to try an OPI nail polish and I loved the results. It went on for a smooth and flawless finish, was quick drying and was a beautiful colour. Also I didn't have any problems with it chipping quickly either, which is a problem I usually have with nail polishes. I loved the liquid sand texture of this nail polish, it felt a little rough but I enjoyed the textured feel of it. I recommend anyone to try this nail polish as it is great quality and the fact it dries quickly makes it even more worth it.

Tips: My tips would be: If you don't like the feel of the liquid sand textured look use a top coat to smooth it over - it will still look textured but won't feel it.

When Monkeys Fly...

This polish is SOOO cute, loved the mix of gold and silver, the bottle is a great size - as always with OPI, and the polish was long lasting.

Tips: Apply coats untill you have the desired density in sparkle, can be used as a top coat over another colour or just on its own if you want some glitter fever!

OPI Can't find my Czechbook?

This colour is amazing!! Adds pop to any outfit and brightens your day, you will however need to add atleast 3 coats to get good coverage, overall- drying time did not take long, with a top coat this lasted 7 days without peeling- a little chipped but nothing major. Would definitely buy again and recommend to anyone.

Tips: Add 3 coats, apply top coat for longer lasting coverage.

Gorgeous but not my thing!

I love OPI! Colours and selection are gorgeous and they're always putting out new, innovative products. This liquid sand polish looks absolutely beautiful in the bottle, a stunning blue full of glitter that catches the light.

I received the product two days before the review was due so I was up against time and couldn't judge the longevity of the product. However, I've commented on look and application =)

Given the title of the polish I was weary of the application, thinking it may be gritty and difficult to apply. But the polish applied just as easily as any OPI nail polish. I was impressed!

With the first coat applied I felt a bit deflated as it looked washed out and pale and not awesome at all! But I waited patiently for it to dry (which didn't take long at all) and upon application of the second coat, I got the full effect of the nail polish! It looks stunning on and looks just like a blue, glittery sandpaper - very pretty!

Given its extreme colour and glitter I wouldn't wear it on my fingernails but on my toenails, particularly during summer, it's a definite winner!

Tips: If you don't like the slightly rough feel of the nail polish, put a top coat over it to smooth it over =)

Gorgeous nails...but not for a long time!

I had heard about OPI's new liquid sand technology and I was very excited to try it out. I am a big OPI fan and think they can do no wrong but I was a little disappointed in this. I'm not usually a fan of blue nail polishes but I have to admit this was a very pretty colour especially with the reflective glitter in it. You definitely need two or three coats to get a good finish. I wasn't really a fan of how rough my nails felt with the finish but it was very pretty to look at and I might try putting a top coat on next time to smooth down the texture.

About two days after I applied the polish it started to chip at the top of my nails, pretty much across all of them and I hadn't been doing any harsh cleaning or putting my nails through much so I was really surprised that it came off so quick. By day five it was looking awful so I took it off. I didn't use a base coat and it didn't stain my nails which was a big plus considering it was a blue polish.

I think I would use it again for a night out, special occasion or maybe with a top coat to see if would last longer.

Tips: I thought it would be really tough to take off with nail polish remover like some glittery polishes are, but it was surprisingly easy, I just held a cotton square soaked with remover over the nail for 5 seconds then wiped away.
