OPI Nail Lacquer Review

I was really looking forward to trying this as I am a massive fan of opi but was left a little bit disappointed. With caviar nails being the in thing I think opi tried to make liquid sand a quick, easy way of achieving that look but with Mariah Carey - Stay the night colour combination it just looks really cheap. Aside from that the polish is thick, fast drying and has a great staying power.

I Found this nail polish to be really surprising, I followed the intructions of placing one coat of base and then two coats of polish and found the colour to be alot pinker than in the bottle, I think I like the colour it comes out as more than what is in the bottle.

The coverage of this nail polish was really nice - thick and opaque after two coats. The colour is gorgeous! Perfect for winter, and catches the light really nicely with the reflective glitters. The only downside for me was the texture; some friends I had shown this to really liked the texture, but for me it was like nails on a chalkboard and made my skin crawl a little everytime I touched it. It didn't chip and was pretty difficult to remove! (need to soak the nails). I don't think I could wear this for long periods of time due to the sandy texture, but the colour is lovely. Also, I found my makeup (while I applied it) settled in the textured polish which was annoying and difficult to clean. I LOVE the matte finish. Overall, worth a try! Check out the swatches instore to see if you like the texture first though.

To me, OPI is the BEST nail polish you can get! The liquid sand did exactly what it said and looked exactly like the pictures you see on OPI advertisements. It goes on effortlessly and has beautiful coverage. The brush is the perfect shape too. I dont think I would buy a liquid sand one though, as I didnt like the texture and matt look on my nails. I prefer shiny and glossy :) I have passed it on to my sister to review too :)

To start with I didn't know whether I liked this polish or not, but over the last day it has grown on me. I didn't think the "liquid sand" in this colour was that amazing, yes it dried to a nice matte finish but I preferred it more after adding a topcoat. Looking at the bottle I thought the colour was actually going to be a really dark blue, but one coat was really light while two coats wasn't very much darker. I didn't think the glitter sparkled very much without a top coat either, was quite more of a subtle shimmer.

When I first got it, I was impressed with the color and it did not disappoint me on my nails. It's a bit hard to get the stars out of the bottle though. Two coats are good enough as it is really pigmented. To be honest I'm not a big fan of sand finish but I really like the color and I will definitely try out more OPI nail polish

As a solo parent of 2 demanding boys, i tend to only buy the cheap $2 shop nail polish. Obviously there is a HUGE difference in quality here using OPI. In the 3 days since applying my polish has not chipped at all as appose to an hour or two with the cheapies! I love the colour and although the texture (liquid sand) took a little getting use to im in love with it now! As i absolutely love nail polish i think i will definately be treating myself with a bottle of OPI here and there =)
