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.

OPI Liquid Sand (all shades)
Reviews
Tips: I apply a similar normal nail polish shade underneath as a base coat and I also put a clear coat over top of this polish just to make it last longer
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.
Tips: So easy to do ombre looks with Liquid sand, the texture makes it more forgiving. I use purple + turquoise. It makes me happy!
I bought the OPI Liquid Sand in purple, it's a beautiful rich dark purple that glitters and sparkles. Pro's: great colour, amazing sparkle and lasts like no other. Con's: I cant really fault it apart from the texture without coating, feels a little weird at first.
Tips: Wear an under and top coat.
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!
Tips: Make sure you use a base coat with the Liquid Sands as they're difficult to remove and i tend to find glitter particles still stuck to my nails afterwards.
I have an OPI Liquid Sand in a gorgeous red/pink colour 'The Impossible' (not sure which collection but has glitter and stars in it) I love the texture and it definitely makes your nails stand out. I found it did last longer then a normal polish and as already noted it is really easy to touch up quickly. Would love to try in other colours!
Tips: I prefer to use nail polish remover pads over liquid remover, have found the Nutrimetics ones really effective.
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!
Tips: Any more than 3 coats and your asking for a really really hard job of removing the polish.
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 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!
Tips: You wont need more than two coats for these. And NO top coat or you ruin the effect!
The texture just feels wrong for me, as I have a lot of activity with my hands during the day I find that the sand texture can cause my nail to snag on things, for this I have used it with a file down to take the texture away and then popping on a clear top coat to get an amazing glittery effect. The liquid gold when filed down is a lovely shade and I think I would re-purchase just for that hue.
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!
