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.

opi is amazing

Opi is definitely my favourite nail polish. It costs roughly $20 dollars a bottle which is about average for a nail polish and is worth the cost. I have a lot of opi nail polishes that I use often that have lasted at least a few years. It lasts a long time on your nails as well and doesn't chip for longer than other nail polishes. There are always new collections coming out so there are tons of colours to choose from. I would recommend it to everyone

Tips: Buy online from sights such as nz sale or trade me to make it cheaper

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!

Love it!

OPI is always coming out with creative new names, collections and colours. The product is amazing to use and is always a must have in your beauty bag! It applies smoothly and the finish is nice and even. Although I did find that it chipped easily but that can be easily fixed by adding another layer. I also found that the last bit of nail polish in the bottle tends to become a bit chunky, this makes it harder to apply and the finish isn't as good. But overall OPI is an amazing product that I highly suggest to every nail polish lover!

Tips: Apply one coat of basecoat, apply 2 coats of polish, then finish with one coat of topcoat! Also if you have weak nails apply a coat of OPI nail envy before applying your colour of choice.

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.

OPI - It's a love and hate kind of relationship.

I am a lover of OPI Nail Lacquer, and always have been. They have the best selection of colours you could dream of. However I do find that no matter how I store my OPI collection, it is always the last 20% of product that is 'gloopy' and therefore difficult to apply. There are tricks that one can do to create a nicer consistency, but I am also aware that with some other brands I do not have this issue at all. Perhaps it is all in the ingredients used? Then there is the price, it's expensive! On a positive note, I also love the packaging. As I said it's a love hate kind of relationship!

Tips: Store in a drawer where your collection of OPI will be less effected by the changes of temperature. Also there are specific products you can buy to thin out your Lacquers but if you have no such thing you can actually use a few drops of nail polish remover and shake well.

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.

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.

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!

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.
