OPI

You simply cannot go wrong with OPI! Over 250 colours – I don’t think I can even name 100 colours/shades.

There’s so much hype around the product and it’s all so worth it. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out. Having such a wide range its a given that there will be a colour you like – think of a shade in your head and they will be three steps ahead and have it made, on the shelf and ready for sale.

Any outfit can be matched to the colours. The quality of the polish is what you’re paying for and its worth every cent you put in. It doesn’t smell like a bunch of chemicals put together, it’s got a great brush that glides over the nail and leaves no streaks; with two layers you have a professional looking nail as if you have been at the salon.

It stays on my nails so well when most other polishes chips after a day or two of normal life tasks this will make it through the week so I’m not using some polish remover every second night and weaken my nails.

It’s truly impressive. The packing and the bottles are quality looking and fit the product well. A must add to a polish collection.

Liquid Sand

I am absolutely in love with the liquid sand nail polishes, i love the brand OPI and this is their best by far i feel, it is soo easy to apply and it is very opaque, a little goes a long way with this product and is very fast drying which is a bonus! i have gone out and brought all the colors in this range and have been using them all the time lately when doing nails

Tips: when removing i have been using the maybelline dip nail polish remover as this polish can be very stubborn such as glitter nail polish.

Oh the names!

OPI sure got the marketing right for their brand. Im currently sporting ten fingers worth of 'my chihuahua bites'. The colours are fab and there's a brilliant selection, I've managed to get about 2 weeks out of this polish but I have had to top up and refresh a few nails along the way. I would say they are overpriced but Minot sure anything will have enough staying power unless it's gel. The liquid sands are so much and teenage dream was my favourite a few years ago. Pricey but brilliant colours and such fun names

Tips: Unfortunately some of mine have gone quite gluggy over time and I have ended up having to use some thinner in them and/or cut my losses.. Keep them cool and out of the sun

Opi Nail Lacquer

I love the opi colour range and my personal favorite are the sands. However I do find that it only lasts two or three days before it starts to chip off, but maybe that's just how I apply it or what I do that chips it off so easily. And as much as I do love it I only tend to buy it when it is on special :)

OPI

I love OPI nail polishes and definitely recommend them, but that said I very seldom buy them full price. Most of the time I get them at outlet shops or the ASB showground sales, and for those prices they are definitely worthwhile. They go on smoothly and last well and of course there are some amazing colours. My favourites are Hopelessly in Love, Dulce de Leche and I am currently wearing Dutch Tulips. I actually love all the fun names they have!

More Hype Than They're Worth

Professional colour? Tick. Amazing number of shades to choose from. But long lasting? Not so much. Even with a solid base and top coat I struggle to stop my OPI polishes chipping after a couple of days. The colours are hard to pass up but the quality just isn't there for me. Given their price you'd want them to last a little longer. Their polishes can also be really hit or miss. Some can be clumpy or streaky or unexpectedly sheer. I think I'll try stick with the minis so that way I can use them up faster and move on.

Tips: Invest in a good base and top coat, they make a world of difference!

opi review

i really like how easy opi is to apply, and how quickly it dries. i found that even after months of not using it there were no clumpy parts in my bottle and it was still just as easy to apply. i am in love with the opi liquid sands

OPI Nail Lacquer

I purchased my first OPI a few years ago after hearing a friend rave on about the brand and got hooked...

There are so many great colours in OPI's range and i love that they bring out 'collections' with colours that all compliment each other. The OPI bottles are a decent size and the brush has really great coverage, only needing 2 swipes to cover your nail (although i usually tend to do 3 as that is how i was taught to do them!) The OPI formula is not too runny so it gives you a great finish after 2 coats and lasts quite well, however i dont really feel like it has any better staying power than other leading nail polish brands. With the $20-$25 price tag i usually only purchase them now if i really like the colour, as i have found a slightly cheaper brand with the same quality. In saying that i do regularly use the ones i have purchased in the past. All in all definitely a great brand that i would have no hesitation in recommending to others!

OPI nail polish

I love opi nail polish because it comes in so many different colours and the consistency is great. Opi polish glides onto nails smoothly and evenly and it dries very fast. All the colours are fantastic there is almost every colour you could dream of. The brush is great too it is about 5mm-1cm wide or the size of your pinkie nail. When you use it you only need two strokes then your whole nail is covered. I love opi polish because it dries so fast so I don't have to worry about ruining my manicure when I do other things.

Tips: Only do thin coats because it dries faster and doesn't get thick and gloopy. Wait 45sec-1min before applying another coat Store your polish upright in a dark place. Shake it well before using

OPI nail polish in general

I have a lot of OPI nail colours, and have used them a lot over the past few years. The main reason I keep buying them is because they have some of the nicest colours that I can find and consistently update their range. However, I find that OPI chips easily, and takes a really long time to dry! I have a cheap nail polish which dries in half the time and stays on much better. Whenever I use OPI I have to use an undercoat and topcoat, just to make sure it doesn't come off the next day. My least favourite part about OPI nail polishes is that they often chip my nails away. They seem to weaken my nails quite a bit, more so than other brands. It means that I have to make a choice between OPI or short nails, and often leave gaps between painting my nails to let them recover.

Tips: Give yourself about an hour to let your nails dry before doing anything to avoid smudges.
