OPI Liquid Sand (all shades)

I was a little hesitant about trying liquid sand as I thought it could be quite annoying and get caught on things. After I missed a trial offer I was even more tempted to try it as the reviews for it were really good and the effect it gave was amazing. I went ahead and brought the Solitaire shade and it is so pretty. It is not a real white shade, more of a creme and the liquid sand makes it look like there are little pearls on your nails. The feeling is gritty, but it is very minimal that it doesn't get caught on clothes etc. I quite enjoyed the liquid sand nail polish as it was very slow at wearing off my nail due to it's coarse nature and it is easily patched up if it does chip as it blends back in with the original layer.

I am an OPI obsessive, and I never really have anything bad to say about their products.

I have this in purple 'Can't let go', and love it. It is so pretty and sparkly and also has a few larger bits of glitter in it. It really does look and feel like sand too! It is easy to apply.

I love it as it is different to any other nail polish i have tried and is very cool :)

I tried the Liquid Sand from the Mariah Carey Collection - because it was purple, my favourite and oh my gosh, instant love, the texture was so cool, I loved the matte finish (though it looks freaking cool with a clear gloss coat on top!) Absolute nightmare to remove (like glitters) but honestly who cares! It lasted so long before it started getting tatty so I wasn't fussed about the extra time it took to remove! I want more!

I have a few different shades of these, from different collections, and I love them! I find that each collection has a slightly different texture, for example, the original Mariah Carey sands have large glitter particles in the polish so it is relatively gritty, whereas the Bond Girls collection is a very smooth sand texture. The polish lasts amazingly on the nails, for me it starts to chip around 5 days, which is really good! When it is time to come off, they wipe off a bit easier than a regular glitter polish, so those of you who hate scrubbing at your nails, definitely give this a chance! I am keen too build up my collection and get of many of these as I can get my hands on!

I'm a huge OPI fan and the Liquid Sand is no exception. I have it in 'Magazine Cover Mouse' which is a bright, glittery red. The polish applies easily, you can get away with one coat but I normally use two. The finish is really different, rough and glittery, so awesome for a special occasion. I find it stays on well but it takes a bit to remove!

Matte + glitter.. Sounds odd but it totally works! Shatter nails had left me cold and very reluctant to try other textured nail fads, but I’m glad I did!

I have the Mariah Carey Mini Collection which consists of ‘Get your number’ (turquoise), ‘Can’t let go’ (purple), ‘The Impossible’ (red) and ‘Stay the Night’ (Black with red glitter).

The formula is thicker than standard OPI nail polishes, so I find application easy, – I can paint right to the edges without making a big mess. All colours required two coats, except ‘Stay the night’ which needed three. I adore ‘Can’t let go’, such a gorgeous shade of purple! It has two different kinds of glitter, so lots of depth.

I find the polish to be long wearing, more so than the numerous other OPI’s I have, even without a topcoat. I’ve tried a topcoat with Liquid sand, darkens the colour and softens the look. Which brings me to the texture! It’s rough, just like sand. Takes some getting used too, you’ll keep touching your nails the first time you wear this.

If you’ve removed glitter polishes you will know how annoying and time consuming it is, liquid sand is no different.

I get so many compliments when wearing liquid sand, they really catch the eye. Can’t wait to get my hands on some ‘Honey Ryder’ as I’m a huge sucker for gold shades.

I have three of these nail polishes. I have had huge compliments about my nails when wearing these polishes. I have a blue, red and a purple one. Firstly I bought one at the start of last year as I am horrible at nail art. I loved the way these nail polish looks and feels as it really does feel like liquid sand (or what I imagine it feeling like). I think the price for this polish is great considering no other brand that I am aware of has created this formula. I think the color pay off is great and it lasts for a couple of days before it starts to chip.

This must be my fav type of nail polish! I love everything about it! The texture is amazing and it really helps glitter pop!

It easier to apply then normal polish and one coat is plenty! It also seems to no chip as much as a normal polish do even tho you do not put any top coat on!

Oh my goodness I LOVE these!! The sandy texture is so unique and makes a nice change from regular polish. I own four of these liquid sand polishes now and I love them all, though my favourite would have to be the sparkly white Solitaire. They make for an easy and glam manicure, and always draw attention. They are also versatile, because if you don't feel like wearing the rough texture you can add a top coat to smooth it out and highlight the sparkle! The only thing about them that is a teensy bit annoying is that they are obviously more difficult to remove than regular polish, but no where near as bad as removing glitter polish!

I have the black and gold and I love them so much. I am addicted to the feel of them and my friends all like to touch my nails when I have it on. It also looks spectacular and is so easy to take on and off.
