This was my first Opi purchase

This brand of polish is really quick to set and hard as diamonds once set. This was an impulse buy because I loved the blue so much. I have always had compliments when wearing this shade because it is so unusal. It also clashes with everything I wear, because I'm usuallly in black drapey or dark sharp cut silhouettes for work with bright in ya face blue nails to illustrate my cheeky side.

I'd recommend this brand and shade to everyone.

Amazing Quality.

I am the sort of person that usually wouldn't of tried this because of the price I wouldn't pay that much for a nail polish. For my birthday .. I was given a gorgeous Red OPI polish. Tasmanian Devil Made me Do It. My first OPI lacquer !!!! First and foremost ... I have tried many nail polishes especially in my favourite nail colour ... red .... after my first use of my OPI nothing compared ! Not even just a bit !! I felt as though I wasn't paying enough for the quality I was receiving ! Great brush, great quality product, super glossy, long lasting ! Bright, vibrant amazing range of colours with really cute names :)

My one and only

I collect these polishes and I wouldn't collect any other brand. They go on smoothly and last for weeks. The packaging is a good size and shape. It shows the colour well. I love the cute names they use for the colours. There are so many shades to choose from and you can normally find them at a discounted price.

Tips: Watch out for fakes. Buy when they are on sale. Try not to get too addicted.

All time fav!

I usually only buy OPI because I find they don't dry out as quickly and the brush size is large which means better coverage. The polish also is smooth and glides on easily. The colours look the same on the nails as in the bottle. I do find that they start looking a little bit dull after a week though.

Go to Nail enamel !

I am a huge fan of OPI nail enamels and have quite an array of colours. I love that they are easy to apply and that they have a nice brush that covers a wide area of my nail so it only takes me a few brushes to cover my nail surface. I also like that when you take the brush out of the polish container it always comes out with just the right amount of polish. I don't have issues with a lot of excess product and it doesn't go gluggy.

I love the glass bottles and that there is nice opening at the top of the bottle and the range of colours are amazing ! Not to mention some of the crazy names that they have.

I find that the nail enamel last days before it cracks and chips. I also like the smell is not to overbearing and that just standard nail polish removes it easily.

Tips: If you would like to prolong the wear of your nail enamel I would recommend a base and top coat.

O.P.I Nail Lacquer

I have a rather large collection of nail polish and OPI represents a third of my hoard! The great thing about OPIs is their large range of colours and even better are the collections they release throughout the year. Since they have such a large range, you can easily find a work appropriate pink, date night red or sparkly gold for New Years.

They also wear (mostly, some pigments will always chip more than others) like iron on me. I can get over a week's worth of wear - but this is also due to figuring out a base and top coat combo that works. OPI have also started releasing different types of polish, such as OPI GelColor and in the future, OPI Color Paints for blending your own.

Tips: For a work appropriate pink nail polish, I use OPI Don't Burst My Bubble. Its a half opaque light pink that makes my nails look healthy. A good friend was horrified I didn't have a femme fatale red and gave me a mini of OPI Big Apple Red that I promptly bought a full bottle of. Being a 90s child - I found that OPI Lincoln Park After Dark is the perfect vampy dark purple.

This polish is Elephantastic!

This OPI nail polish in the shade 'Elephant-tastic' is a fun, bright, popping pink, perfect to compliment and accessorise any summer outfit/occassion. I love this colour as it can be quite casual but has the finish to also work for events. It goes on well and has a perfect finish after three light coats. It dries pretty fast and lasts for a lot longer than other nail polishes I have tried. Would definitely recumbent this colour to anyone who likes fun pink shades.

Tips: Keep your nail polish in the fridge for a better consistency for applying.

Great Polish

I love opi for the quick dry time, great brush, wear time and formula. Only downside is the price which is between $8-12 especially for newly released colors. You can find older colors/collections online for under $8

Tips: For me the best top coat to use with opi polishes is by formula x sold at Sephora

Favourite Favourite Favourite!

I am a complete OPI fanatic.

98% of the polishes I own are OPI and I am rarely (if ever!) disappointed.

The shades are beauuutiful with so many options for all skin tones and all tastes. Great range of shades within colours too, eg. huge range of pinks, nudes, grey's, etc.

The brush on the OPI polishes are my favourite of all time, with the wide brushes making application quick, easy, and tidy. You can coat an entire nail in two swipes, three for a thumb, and most colours apply evenly without streaking.

They are on the pricey side, but Farmers and Chemists often do deals and discounts so definitely hold out for those as they pop up frequently and are worth waiting for. Plus you can then get several at a time :)

Also I love how they keep their main range (which is huge) and constantly bring out new collections - OPI never gets boring and constantly brings out new shades and finishes.

Tips: Use a matte top coat as a basecoat for lighter shades to help make them opaque quicker and apply less streaky (OPI Alpine Snow, I am looking at you)

OPI overall

OPI is such a high quality brand and you can never expect anything other than nail perfection when you use it. I have tried brands such as sally hansen, essie, chanel, orly and pretty much all nail polishes you can think of and i still seem to go back to opi. I love it because of their colour range, so many colours to choose from ranging from the lightest to the darkest. They have such nice brushes that give such smooth application, you really can't go wrong. The main thing and the thing i find most important when testing if a nail polish is good or not is the drying time. I mean it would be great if a nail polish could dry as soon as you apply it but lets be real, its not gonna happen but OPI seems to have a really good drying time. It takes about 1 minute to completly dry and i have found that this was the quickest my nails have dry. many others such as china glaze take at least 4 minutes and even then, I will end up smudging at least one nail If you are going to buy an nail polish I would definitely recommend OPI
