Safe bet!

OPI is a safe bet in my opinion. You know you are going to get a quality polish. With a wide selection of colours they have something for everyone and for every occasion. Unlike other brands I've yet to be disappointed in the formula, it's always consistent in my experience.

OPI Nail Lacquer

I love these nail polishes. I have two pinks and a red. These are probably the best nail polishes i have ever used. They are super easy to apply and have the best color pay off. They last for a couple of days before chipping and are so easy to build up color without your nails streaking. I also love the names of these polishes. I think that they are super affordable and are easy to find as most pharmacies sell this brand.

Tips: Apply a clear coat to make it last even longer.

Great quality and easy to apply

I have several OPI nail lacquer shades, some are opaque shades, others are shiny. This is easy to build up to a opaque shade by adding two or three coats. With the shiny shades I find I can get away with one coat, or for a more subtle shade I add an extra coat. It lasts well, and doesn't chip with an top coat on. I get about 5 days of good colour on my nails before I need to fix them up. The range of shades is amazing! And I love the shade names as well.

Tips: Add a top coat to make it last longer.

Dependability and Amazing Colour Range

When I was 18, and OPI newly available on the market, my mum bought me my first OPI. It was an incredible vibrant green named Greenwich Village. I had never seen anything like it before and it was the beginning of an obsession.

At first I was horrified by the price. This was an age when minimum wage was $8 so the $25 price tag represented about 4 hours of my life working checkout after school. It was worth it though and I slowly built up my collection.

OPI fo' sho' has the best colour range around. There's something for everyone's taste. Every year multiple collections are added and more of my hard earned cash is whittled away.

The consistency and wear can be relied on, I've never bought an OPI that was a disappointment. Some, like the shatter range, are more of a novelty and seldom used though.

Here's where things get sad. In 2010 my collection was tragically and maliciously stolen from my bedroom by a flatmate's bedmate. My years of hardwork wasted, all that remained of hours of painting nails was my memories. It's taken another 4 years but I am getting there I WILL REBUILD.

Tips: Fun fact: It's pronounced Oh-pee-eye not Ope-ee... Don't embarrass yourself like I did by making that mistake! F

Loved your review! It made me laugh and I felt your pain at the stealing of your precious polish - I hope karma bit them on their fancy coloured toes!

You Get What You Pay For

I was late to the OPI is O for Awesome bandwagon. But better late than never! Previously I thought you had to have some sort of superpower to apply nail polish without looking like you'd reverted back to five year old colouring in techniques (and a whole lot of cotton buds and nail polish remover to help with the clean up). Turns out a good brush makes all the difference! The OPI brush feels like it just sweeps the polish on - perhaps the consistency of the polish helps with this as well? I love the range of colours - there's one to suit any time of year, event or mood. And the fact that I can go three days without a top or bottom coat before I chip the polish is amazing! Definitely recommend - and will be letting my little one use my polishes when she's ready to get all girly rather than letting her get all messy for years like I did ;)

Love the range!

I am a bit of a nail polish addict, and have numerous of OPI's colours. I love the names, and also how often the colours or ranges are endorsed by different celebrities. The only issue with OPI I find is that it takes FOREVER to dry! Especially if you use base coat, two coats and then top coats, however it does last much longer than most without chipping.

Tips: Only paint your nails when you have plenty of time to let them dry ;-)

The best nail polish out!

I love OPI. I have used it for years. I love the huge range of colours, I love how the viscosity is always consistent (within the range I mean), I love that I can expect it to last a certain length of time before it chips.

I'm not a total nail polish snob - I occasionally buy other brands just to check I'm not missing out on anything. One of my favourites has been a little $2 bottle from the chemist. But OPI remains my firm favourite. It's great for presents for friends, and sometimes you can find it on sale.

Tips: Top coat of clear nail polish makes it pop

Who Dosn't Love OPI??

I fell in love after the first coat of OPI I applied. My first OPI was Solitaire. It was and still is my all time favorite shade of nail polish! I adore it. I also have glitzerland which is the best gold shade I have ever used. In fact I haven't seen a shade that I haven't liked. Their Bond collection has been my favorite so far but I love all their glitter polishes OPI nail polish seems to last longer than other brands and have bigger brush's which I personally love. I do have to say that some of their shades need alot more than one coat to get a great colour (Glitzerland needs about 3 to look good). Overall OPI is hands down my go-to brand,

Tips: Try to always use a base coat :)

Excellent product and great range

OPI nail polishes are excellent. They are of a high quality consistency that make them easier to apply than some other brands. I have many of these as I can't resist buying more! I store them in the fridge and they seem to keep really well- I don't know if this is actually necessary but it certainly doesn't do any harm.

Tips: Some of the sparkly lacquers are hard on your nails- the glittery bits seem to get stuck into the nails and they do not remove as easily as the smooth lacquers. Make sure you use base coat and even then the glitter doesn't always come off easily. And don't buy online unless you've seen the colour in reality as it's really hard to know what you're actually getting. Duty Free do some good discounts so if you or a mate are going overseas get them to buy for you.

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.
