Whoa, what a good product… I can’t believe I have missed out on this for years before trying! I am in awe of this product. Anyone who doesn’t believe the hype - feel free to come knocking on my door so I can talk some sense into you!! I have really nothing bad to say about this product. (Except for the price tag - but I always moan about the price…)
Okay, first of all - have you seen the range? Which one do you choose? Okay, I am feeling a bit minty today - but it has to be more of a spearmint color than a peppermint, maybe a turquoise-y spearmint? Boom… OPI has it. A Halloween orange rather than an orange orange, yup - OPI will have two different shades in that.
Secondly, the packaging… I love it. Seriously. It looks and feels expensive and it’s big and everyone looks the same to help calm my OCD. The brush is incredible, it glides on effortlessly. You can manage how much polish you want to stay on the brush.
The formula. What other word can I use to describe it? Marvelous. It doesn’t smell bad, or of some chemical substance. It has great pigmentation and the layers glide on effortlessly and without streaks. After two layers you have a very professional looking, salon manicure for a fraction of the price. No, less than a fraction - more like a needle head.
It stays on for anything up to two weeks, and chip wear only occurs on about day 5. I seriously cannot rave enough about this product. It’s absurd, staggering, unheard of, yes, it’s really REALLY that good, wonderful, magnificent…
I definitely haven't found a brand that beats OPI. They have the best colour range, and I find most colours last really well on my nails. I used to avoid buying it all the time and get cheaper polishes, only to regret my choice instantly! Now I only purchase Revlon fast dry and OPI polishes.
Tips: I find the metallic polishes tend to chip faster than the matte ones.
