OPI Nail Lacquer Review

I like this colour when I need a pick me up .... Seems to brighten my look. The pink base blue is an easy tone to wear against my pale skin.

This is a nice soft colour but a little daring at the same time. The only downfall with OPI, like most other nail polishes is I find they chip off easily. Never been able to figure out how to stop that.

I love painting my nails and I've had a lot of failed attempts with white. But brought this product knowing OPI makes great colours. This white was the best one that I have found but at they same time because it is white it's very important to get it right and give a couple of coats. I found it quite a thick formula but perhaps it's because it's not as faint and streaky as other white's. It's a great product none the less.

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.

I love the colour range, you will be able to find any colour you want! My only disappointment is that I don't think they last as long as some of the cheaper nail polishes I have. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I still buy these when I can afford it though.

Some of higher colours and finishes are great. I'm quite impatient with nails and tend to use quick-drying formulas, so I don't get to use my OPI as often as I'd like. The names are very cute and quirky though!

OPI had a captive market for mid-priced nail polish a few years ago but now there are other brands for the same price that perform better. OPI has a really good colour range that I will always appreciate and I wouldn't turn down an OPI nail polish if it was in a colour I really wanted. I do find they are prone to peeling off my nails after a few days, rather than having minor chips, which means I have to change my nail polish quite quickly.

OPI nail polish comes in quite generous bottles but I actually find I can't get through one before it turns gloopy!

I generally LOVE OPI nail polish but the only thing i have to say about it is they aren't consistent with their lasting power. Some of the colors I've had have saved on forever yet some of them only last 2 days. with a base coast and top coat as recommended. Either way they are a great consistency for the polish and the brushes are amazing too.

Being a qualified nail tech, I know a fair bit about nail products. The nail colour is thick enough to give a nice colour coverage from just one coat with other brands the colour and texture of the varnish is so thin that you need at least two coats of colour which does not give you bang for your buck. The colour stays on the nail fairly well it is not quick to chip and wear off. The packaging is okay but I think they should change it as other shops have very similar containers and so to some body that does not know much about nail polish coul be fooled into buying the cheaper brand and not achieveing good results. The brush is easy to work with and the bristles do not seem to become all yuck too fast. The colours are very close or true to the bottle after one coat from what I have tried. There is a wide range to choose from and they market the product with the use of celebrities too such as Katy Perry. The products have various types of looks too eg shiny, sparkley, shimmer, metalic, etc. They also bring out limmited editions making it fun for collectors. At $25 each they are not exactly cheap but still affordable for those who want a good product closer to a salon finish when used correctly.
