OPI Nail Lacquer Review

Makes a good feature nail. Being duochrome the colour changes depending on the light. Needs a few coats applied.

This is a lovely deep purple. But I personally felt it washed me out a bit. I love a bold nail colour but this was to deep and dark for me personally. I think it would suit certain skin tones and look great

I loves the brightness of this red colour and my nails look good however the only thing i find with OPI polishes is that they tend to chip very easily (well with me anyways). Also don't like how the red polish tends to stain the nail and fingers a little after removing it. Would use it again though as the colour is really great.

I tried the pink, orange, black and yellow OPI Nail colours. They looked absolutely amazing on. But the colour chipped off really fast and the 2nd or 3rd time of using it, the product in the bottle had gone extremely gluggy. For such a well named product I was really disappointed at that.

I have always loved OPI for their selection of colours and the quality of the product. But then I started working in jobs that put my hands under a lot of stress. Working in restaurants and now in preschool, OPI just doesn't stand the test of water, chemicals, and constant battering. I still use it if I'm not going to be working for a week or two, but I've found other more hard wearing nail varnishes to keep me looking lovely while I work.

Let's be honest - out of all beauty products, nail polish is probably the most overpriced in NZ compared how how much the product is worth. OPIs, especially, is wayyy overpriced. $$ aside, all the OPI colors I have work well and are holding up really well, even the ones I've had for a long time. Also, there are too many fakes out there - it used to be pretty easy to tell, but now the smell and bottle printing of fakes is improving and I just feel like it's easier to buy another brand such as essie to avoid this hassle.

OPI - synonymous with "quality"

I've used OPI nail polishes for years & I have very few complaints! The colour selection is fantastic (although there are still a few colour variations that they never seem to get right in my opinion)

The collections that they come out with are usually beautiful, my absolute favourite was the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection . The colours were simply beautiful (think sea-foam green & gorgeous purples)

The few misses that I've had with OPI include the dreadful "shatter" polishes. Awful & tacky, they should never have seen the light of day! + every so often I'll purchase a beautiful looking colour only to find that it's so sheer that even after 4 or 5 coats I can still see my natural nail beneath several streaky layers =(

OPI does fantastic glitter polishes, they are super long lasting & stunning.

If I had to choose a favourite polish brand OPI would not be my first choice, if you had asked me several years ago I would have shouted its praises all over town but not so much anymore thanks to brands such as China Glaze, Essie & Orly. All of which surpass OPI in terms of quality, colour selection & longevity =)

I found this brand of nail polish average. I brought quite a few of the mini bottles as I thought they were cute but I personally didnt find the quality of the polish any better than cheap stuff from the $2 shop, they all chip after a few hrs/ a day. But one great thing about the Polish is ive had my minis for about 3yeara now and they still aren't all gluggy and still work perfect

To be honest, i only purchased this for the glitter combination! It's very pretty and i'm a sucker for a good glitter. However, it chips after an hour of application every time and wears down at the tip of my fingernails very fast! I will not be repurchasing this as it's not worth the extra effort for maintenance.
