OPI Nail Lacquer Review

I remember the first time I saw OPI Nail Lacquer- I was so shocked at the price! It seemed insane to me at the time that any would pay $22 for a nail polish- lucky for me I was given a small sample bottle to try and after one application the price was justified to me!

First of all I hadn't heard of a 'Lacquer' before and assumed it was the same as a 'polish' WRONG! The lacquer went on son evenly and dried so much quicker- also the finish was amazing, so solid and shiny not at all streaky and it wore beautifully- didn't chip or wear off at all.

I was in love with my latest find and quickly became somewhat of an OPI addict!!

The colour range OPI offers is amazing and there is always the perfect shade to be discovered no matter how out there. At first I was a bit skeptical of the size of the bottle and the fact that every other nail polish Ive ever used goes gluggy before I get to the bottom- but it OPI! The consistency stays the same for years right down to the bottom of the bottle. The other feature of this product I find great is the brush- I seems to be of exceptional quality and I never get any stray hairs mucking up my stroke not even when it's getting very old and used.

I'm definitely a loyal OPI girl and am yet to find a product that even comes close (though its only very rarely I stray!!)

I love OPI nail polishes! I have tried other brands around the same price range and I would have to say OPI is the only one definatly worth the money! The colour range available is great! The formula is nice and thick enough not to need more than one coat and it doesn't take forever to dry. By by far favourite colour is My Private Jet, its a charcoal almost black with specks of suttle glitter in it. The only thing I will say about OPI is the staying power isn't great, I wouldn't say that they last any longer than a more affordable brand. But the finish coat of the OPI nail lacquers looks just like a salon job :)

I've tried many different nail polishes in the hopes of finding one that last longer than a day or 2 without starting to chip.. OPI is definitely the best I've found so far. It still starts to chip after about 3 or 4 days with normal day to day wear and tear but it does last longer than other nail polishes. It drys quickly (always a bonus) goes on really nicely, not thick and glugy. It doesn't streak and you only need 2 coats for a perfect shiny finishy. My fav is the liquid sand polishes. They are awesome and look amazing! They don't rub off either. The rang of colours is fantastic! I love their fast drying top coat too, makes any brand nail polish last longer and it's super shiny! The price isn't too bad, usually around $20. Which I think is really fair for a top quality polish!! By far my favorite!

I find OPI chips really easily I am a very active busy worker and I find after 2 days my nail varnish has chipped but this is due to alot of wear and tear in my job. I find the OPI sand range brilliant as it doesnt chip and I can go 3 weeks without repainting it. I love how easy it it to apply the coats, how good they look, the brilliant range of colours. Not a fan of the shatter range though and find them quite pricey in contrast to other brands

I love OPI products. The consistency of the nail polishes are not too thin, sometimes just one coat will do depending on the color. The nail lacquer dries fast and doesn't have any smell. They are definitely pricey, best to buy during sale. I always look for specials/discounts in the store and grab it :) The reason why I am a big fan of OPI is because they have never disappointed me, I have good results from each and every application, hence I am ready to pay the price to have these beauties on my nails.

I absolutely adore OPI polishes, unfortunately due to the price I only own four (Mermaids Tears, GoldenEye, Make Him Mine, and Black Shatter). I absolutely love the OPI formula and find it fast drying, all the polishes I own are thick enough so that I can get away only applying two coats! I find them long wearing and chip resistant when applied correctly with a top and base coat! Love them and definitely will be building my collection when I can!

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.

Love this brand of nail polish. The colours are fun. The polish is smooth and silky to apply. Colours are true to the bottle. Long lasting wear. The only downside is the price.

This is the first nail polish that I have come across that stays on for a very long period of time for example I can paint my nails and it stays on for 4-5 weeks at a time
