Absolutely love it!

I've had my nails done for years. New tips, back fills and pedicures and I always choose OPI Nail Lacquer - a different colour each time. The range of colours is wonderful and the quality is excellent. No chipping and very little fading.

With a top coat my nails last 3/4 weeks. Yes, I am sold on this product and always happy to recommend it. Pay a little more and get the best, its worth it.

Tips: Download the OPI app for up to date colour range!

OPI Nail Lacquer

I am a nail polish junkie and I must say, OPI is by far my favourite nail polish brand! The consistency is nice (not too thin or too thick), and the colours are quite pigmented (depending on the colour itself). One of the things I like most about it is that they are also easy to apply and also dries quickly in a reasonable amount of time. It is also fairly easy to remove the nail polish (apart from their glitter polishes, which are just as hard to remove as any other glitter nail polish) and they don't usually stain your nails (but again, this is dependent on the colours, as some colours are more likely to cause slight staining than others). I always apply a base coat and a top coat, and I find that my OPI nail polishes usually last for about a week without chips. However, this will be different for everyone as it depends on what kind of jobs/activities you do that will affect your nails.

The only thing I don't like is how it is so hard to pick which colour to buy, and then to decide which colour I want to apply as well (since there are so many colours to choose from in their range). To be honest, that's about the only thing that I don't like about the OPI nail polish range, if that even counts at all! If you can save up for one, I would really recommend trying it. I did, and now I've never looked back! :)

Tips: Don't forget to apply a base coat before you apply a coat of the chosen nail polish colour. I would say 2-3 coats of the nail colour should be sufficient to get the optimum colour coverage (from what I have found). Then once that has dried, seal it all up with a top coat to protect the nail polish.

OPI - Simply the Best

I have been buying OPI nail polishes for years and now have far too many to count! Out of all the nail polish brands I have tried, they're still my favourite. I find the consistency is great, smooth and not too thick or thin. They apply easily and have a nice brush tip which delivers a good amount of varnish, I usually use two coats with OPI to achieve a thick, solid colour, although some of the colours you can get away with one. The finish has a nice shine even without a top coat, although I still recommend using one to keep it looking good longer. The colour removes easily and I find that even without a base coat, I have never found they stain my nails which is great. Pricewise, you can often get OPI polishes on special at makeup clearance sales, NZ Sale, ilovebeauty.co.nz and OnceIt, which can save you a fair bit as the individual price tends to be a bit higher than some. One of my favourite things about OPI polish is the branding, the always have such cool names and colours! Overall I would definately recommend OPI.

Tips: The bottles last forever, keep them in the fridge especially in the warmer months to stop the product thickening. If it does, try putting a few drops of nail polish remover in it to help thin it out. Also, if you're not too sure if a colour is really you, try the OPI minis! They're great value for trying out some of the fun and interesting shades OPI comes out with.

The best nail brand you can buy

OPI is one of those really trustworthy brands that anyone can count on. No matter what colour or shade you are looking for, chances are OPI has it. I would say my only problem with OPI is the price, it can be very expensive. Sometimes they have some really cute packs come out, such as the Mickey mouse ones. Not only are there so many colours but theres a great range of types, such as the crackle nail polish or liquid sands. I would recommend OPI to my friends because its one of those nail polish brands that you can always trust and know it will do a good job.

Tips: Use 2 coats of colour and use an undercoat and top coat otherwise it chips really easy!

An apple a day...

Yummy gorgeous delicious red that I wear regular on fingers and toes for a classic pop of colour. OPI is one of those reliable brands you just know is going to go on great with lasting colour so it's just a matter of which colour and as far as reds go this is my fave because it's bright and beautiful.

Tips: Red and dark polishes take longer to dry than their lighter counterparts (due to higher amounts of pigment) so allow yourself plenty of time for drying off after application and always apply a base coat when using darker/bright colours otherwise you'll end up with stained nails. Use a top coat for longer lasting, chip free colour.

A great polish but pricey

I do enjoy the OPI range. They have an easy to use brush & a huge colour range. Because the polish is highly pigmented 2 coats is all you need. Along with a good base & top coat application looks smooth & professional. In terms of chipping I wouldnt say that this brand is more chip resistant then anyone else. Sometimes I can have a weeks worth of wear without chips & other times it is chipped the next day. The biggest down side to OPI is the price tag while it's a good polish I dont think it warrents the $20+ it retails for. Your better of trying to grab it at a sale although colours will be limited.

Tips: This polish is suited to nail art due to the high pigmentation. I prefer to use it for nail stamping in particular as the lightest of colours can still stand out.

Great results, great range, but expensive!

I think OPI is a great brand. They have a fantastic selection of shades and finishes. I am a huge fan of their glitter polishes! The consistency of their products I find is always really nice and two coats generally does it. I also love the quirkyness of their product names. My all time OPI fave would have to be 'My private Jet' which is what I would describe as a beautiful black with bronze/near holographic shimmers. I always get the most amazing compliments and it wears very well.

Tips: Remember to always use a base coat to prevent yellowing and a top coat to ensure you seal the polish.

Amazing

First off, the names are so cute and punny. I really like their creativity. The formula of the nail polishes are also fantastic. I have 3 bottles, the Gold shatter, Purple with a Purpose and Princess Rule! Absolutely love them and really want to try out more colours. :)

Tips: Use a base coat to protect your nails, two coats of polish, then one layer of top coat to protect it from chipping and give it that little bit extra shine!

OPI is my favourite

Their colour range is magic, and its a very long lasting polish. I also love that it has none of the nasty nastys in it. I think that this range is the most innovative for colour.

Obsessed

I'm a total opi addict. I've tried others in the past but none seem to compare to opi. The color is the truest I've found and it's non gluggy texture make it glide on like. Dream. With the many varieties of polish now like shatter, glitters, liquid sand etc opi is always first out with the best quality and colors. I own well over 100 colours now and love every one!

Tips: Always use a base coat!! Protect the natural color if your nail by using an opi base and top coat. Three strokes when applying color. Middle, side, side. If you make a mistake don't keep going over the same spot, wait till it dries then do another coat.
