OPI Liquid Sand (all shades)

Firstly I love anything nail art/polish related, and when opi came out with their liquid sand line i wasnt that interested because I usually like a smooth finish but then I won a bulk lot on trademe and 1 of them was a liquid sand nail polish in the color Pussy galore. Ok the name is pretty gross but the color is a beautiful light pink, I used 2 coats, the colour went on nicely, it was opaque and dried pretty quickly. It stayed on for ages, which is pretty amazing for me because I work in an environment that is not nail polish friendly. They are pretty hard to get off but i usually alternate between this and glitter for work (because they dont chip easily) so im use to the work i put into removing it, some may find it annoying though. overall i highly recommend this colour its so pretty, I have light-med skin tone and i always get compliments when I wear it, although i feel awkward telling them the name of it. Pussy galore, its truly a lovely shade

Probably one of the most interesting 'limited edition' products ever.

It has a beautiful effect when applied to your nails - matte but still with a little bit of shine from the glitter in it. I find it does dry a lot quicker than normal polish too. It's super long lasting - like lasts until you choose to remove it long lasting. I did find that sometimes the texture of my nails meant my nails would snag on things, but that's not really a big deal and it wasn't that often either.

If you find your nails split easily or they're weak, this probably isn't the best polish for you, I found this made my nails split after putting it on for the first time in months.

It is a REAL mission to remove, so be prepared to put in a little extra effort in that department. Think glitter polish, but 10 times harder to remove! lol

I got one of these nail polishes to try as I had heard great things, and the price was right! The lonely shade I have is 'Vesper', - A deep violet color..

Wow this stuff is hardy! It's far tougher wearing than "regular" gloss finish OPI polishes of which I get on average 3 days wear out of, the liquid sand lasts twice as long before noticeable chipping starts happening. And as with glitter polishes it's a bit of a bugger to remove..

The finish is unique as far as i'm aware.. Grainy as would be expected, and matte but with hints of shimmery sparkle where the light hits. 2-3 coats are needed for an opaque finish, and the drying time is average I guess.. Around 10-20 minutes for 2-3 coats.

Another good thing I find with this liquid sand polish is that it hides any roughage of the finger nails. If your tips can get a bit manky at times with layers of nail peeling and flaking, this polish may make you a fine friend as it has for me! Definitely want to get some more of these!

I really like OPI's nail polishes, and the Liquid Sand range is my favourite. I prefer a shiny, shimmery finish to that of a matte finish, so I always end up buying the shimmery polishes. That makes the Liquid Sand range perfect for me. It really does go on like liquid sand, but made of glitter. It has great staying power too and lasts on my nails for a long time. My very favourite is the shade, Make Him Mine, which is a natural looking pink colour, but has great sparkle, and it goes on thickly so you do not need to apply more than a couple of coats.

Oh, i remember when this was a thing! i loved it. I have a couple of pieces from this range. They work really well, it's really cool.

However this was a nightmare to take off.. it just goes everywhere!

this product is great but very unusual, it is either going to be a product that you love or hate. the texture that the nailpolish leaves on your nail resembles sandpaper or lightly sprinkled sand, it does feel different, but leaves a great effect on the nail

love these nail enamels. they are so much fun and the colours i have just look incredible. clients love these as a feature nail. easy to apply. and they just sparkle. a go to if you want something different and to look great.

I'm such an Opi fan and I love the liquid sand range, my favourite is Jinx which is a vibrant orange colour and it's perfect for your twinkle toes. The liquid sand goes on so easily and you can't even notice a little mistake and another coat goes on so easily. You could get away with one coat quite easily. Liquid sand lasts such a long time, no chipping and easy to touch up, only down side is it takes a bit of perseverance to remove it!

The O.P.I sand range has really grown on me and each time I'm wearing it I fall in love just a little bit more.

The formula is thicker than other OPI nail polish's and last's longer too. I thinks thats due to the sand like texture.

The results can be seen in the first coat and two coats is usually enough for an amazing finish. It does feel slightly rough but not scratchy like glitter polish'. I find it looks shimmery rather than glittery.

I'm a nail polish freak and thought it best to add one of these to my collection. I got a bright purple shade (the name escapes me now) to go with an outfit I wore to the races. The colour and formula is great, typical OPI - a couple of coats and youre done. It dries to a sand papery texture with a kind of matte finish, which is great for a novelty effect but not really my thing. I add a coat of Seche Vite to smooth it out and make it glossy instead.
