Blacker than Black

This is my go-to black nail polish. It is such a great formula and so opaque. It also has great wearing and I can easily get a week out of it without having to reapply.

I LOVE OPI!

Any OPI lacquer stops me in my tracks these days. Why? For starters, the range of colours is dazzling. You'll find a colour to love no matter how fussy you are. Secondly, the really unique names that OPI bestow on their polishes really up the fun factor (how about "Number One Nemesis" or "Your Web or Mine?") Thirdly, and most importantly - the long-lasting finish on your nails. While no polish is chip-resistant forever (unless you're in the gelish category and that stays on for a good few weeks), OPI produce really hard-wearing polish. If I had my way, I would own one of every colour. A girl can dream can't she?!

Love OPI

I Love this nail polish im useley not really a nail polish person as I'm rough with my hands so my nail polish always chips and looks horrible the same day so i don't usley bother with it but this OPI has a good lasting time it lasts at-least 3+ days for me which is good =) ild defenly use again and it also dosent go thick and goopy fast so you dont have to hurry to use the whole bottle before it gos funny .

Tips: Best to buy on special as you can usley find it for around $10 somewhere instead of paying $20-$25 =)

One of the best I have tried!

I own a few OPI nailpolishes now, and I find I can go about 4 days longer without chipping and having to remove the polish unlike other brands! They hardly ever go gluggy and also come in mini sized polishes for on the go!

Tips: They are so amazing to use I dont think I have any tips!

Awesome product

Can't go wrong with OPI, not waiting around for ages for it to dry and the colour holds for so long too

Addict

I am an OPI addict and a sucker for everything they do! Best polishes around with a huge colour range. The brushes are amazing, the polish have a great consistency, and are long lasting.

Tips: If you've fallen in love with one from a LE collection, best to buy it while you can because you may never see it again! I've learnt the hard way!

My Fave Nail Polish

I Love OPI nail polish! It lasts on my nails so much longer than any other brand. The range of colours is brilliant and I love how well it it goes on my nails. The price can be a bit steep but the nail polish lasts well, I have some bottles that are a few years old and still going strong.

Tips: For best results with OPI I always use a base and top coat.

OPI - Beautiful Nails Always

I am an avid collector of O.P.I. polishes and have well over 50+ different colours. Painting my nails is a stress reliever, and I tend to paint them every 2-3 days. I hate seeing chipped nails, so as soon as they get chipped or start to look a bit drab then a new colour is quickly applied.

I love the selection of colours that OPI has - from bright and bold, to neutral and classic, to glitters, metallics, shatter and matte! They really have thought of colours to suit every personality.

Tips: Painting your nails to such a simple, cheap and effective way to brighten up an outfit, and to feel pretty and positive!

Rich, glossy colour

I rarely have manicured nails because of my work but I love to have brightly painted toes. OPI lacquers are a favourite choice for my pedicure. They have an exhaustive range of colours and the formulation is excellent. I find the brush firm enough for precise application, the lacquer flows evenly and two thin coats provides good coverage. Other cheaper brands I have found to be patchy after even three or four coats. OPI lacquer sets well and appears to wear well. I usually get two weeks out of a carefully applied pedicure. This is fairly costly nail varnish so not usually purchased on a whim. However it seems to have a long shelf life, I can come back to colours after a year unopened and they are as good as ever.

This is worth the money!!

This was my first nail polish that I had gotten through a whole bottle of. I have tried many other brands like Sally Hansen, Essie, Orly and a few others. This is the one polish that has never let me down!

First off I reckon this has better longevity than any of the other brands out there that I have tried so far, I worked with Orly for a couple of years at my old job and I also have purchased a couple of colours for self use. I found that the formular got thick quite quickly after opening the bottle and personally I find the brush way too small, had to do extra stokes which meant that you had to work quickly, which for some of you who are still trying to get you technique down pat, rushing is the last thing you want to do!

OPI have many different colours in many different finishes so Im sure you will find a colour if not two that your definately going to love!

I do recommend this polish to a lot of you out there as it does last a good amount of time on the nail, the formulation is nice and easy to work with and the size of the brush does all the work for you! What more could you ask for :)

Tips: Longevity of polish, I understand is a big thing for a few of you out there. First off I want to point out that it all begins on the condition that your nail is in.. If you have dry and/or brittle nails ie they peel, spilt or break easily this is going to affect how long the polish is going to last on your nail. I know this sounds so simple and easy to understand but I have experienced with a lot of clients that this simple fact is also easy to forget. So if this is a case that you deal with make sure you look after your nails and get them to a good condition before you waste your money either buying heaps of polish colours and them not lasting or getting your nails done at a Beauty Therapy clinic.

Once your nails are at a nice healthy condition then you are ready to paint! I will not stress enough that 4 coats really do make a difference! I have friends asking me all the time "Lesh! Why doesnt my nail polish last?" I say "How many coats have you applied" and they reply with "Umm maybe one colour and a top coat". This is were we go wrong. As a Beauty Therapist we are trained to apply four coats (1 base coat, 2 colour coats and 1 top coat) Simply this provides a smooth surface, a perfect colour payoff and locks everything in. When applying polish go from one pinky to the other pinky and you dont have to wait between each coat for the polish to dry, it is best that they all dry together as one complete coat.

It sounds simple enough but buffing on a regular basis (as well as applying cuticle oil) and right before you paint (no cuticle oil) is going to help the polish last, as with buffing you are, once again providing a smooth surface and there is less of a chance that flaky parts of the nail are going to lift while the polish is on.

Last but not least! Allow plenty of drying time!! In about 10 to 20 minutes they will be "touch" dry but not completey. Some do have to wait a couple of hours for it to be completey dry. A cool fan can help this process along ;)

Wow did I make this long enough for you all! I hope some of these tips have been helpful?! Please comment below if you have any other problems with your nails and polish application. Ill be more than happy to help :) xx
