OPI Nail Lacquer Review

Awesome colours from OPI. Sucks that it cost so much! I have a range of OPI nail polishes and find that they brushes are very wide and streaky compared to products such as revlon.

Of course the price reflects the quality in this instance. I have a range of their nail lacquer ranging from sparkly to nude to brights and those horrible cracking polishes. Only reason I didn't like the crack is because I think the concept was tacky and your nails looked like they were chipping. The actual product did exactly what it was meant to do. For the rest I do love them they apply so well, they are a good consistency the bottle is a great shape and the brush i long enough to get right down to the bottom. They don't dry up fast inside the bottle. They don't last as I would like maybe 4 days but this is about the longest a polish will last on me apart from sally hansen xtreme wear (lasts a week). They do go on really nicly and arn't bumpy or anything but they do they long to dry. Max coats would be 2.

The sparkly lacquer though you need at least 4 to really build it up and then removing it is literally hours which is quite common for sparkly polish. The actual polish once dried does look amazing

Some colours are better quality than others.

You will always get the issue with nail polish chipping or ending up gluggy when the bottle is getting a bit old but as I say, some are better than others.

Over all they are a quality product. I love how they have a really vibrant range of colours, if you are looking for a very specific shade of whatever, you can always look to OPI to find it.

I can remember the very first thing I ever bought from Mac was one of their lipsticks, and the one thing I believe sets Mac apart from any other cosmetic brand is the lipstick range. No one else has better lipstick game than Mac. They have every colour I could ever dream of and you can bet if they don't have what your looking for it'll come out very very soon. In terms of the other strengths of the product such as wear, moisture and stain they are pretty on key with all of them.

Love OPI nail polish. The quality is much better than other nail polish I have used. They have a huge selection of colours which is great. Only thing is the bottles are quite expensive. Thank goodness for the mini bottles!

O.P.I have such a fantastic range of colours I can never decide on what colour to choose when I purchase/paint my nails! It is so smooth and easy to apply and comes over just as easily. It doesn't smell that strong which I like as quite a few polishes I have smell quite strong. On the cons list I have the black onyx and it has been gluggy and really thick since the day I purchased it. Don't no what went wrong with that one but that is the only downfall, the rest is great :)

Who doesn't love a sea of colour? I would change my nails every night if I had the time!

I have always liked OPI's bottles with their sleek black lids (unless you get a crackle or other special which often have a pattern). The clear glass bottle allows you to see the colour inside and the brush glides on so I only have myself to blame when I miss my nail completely.

OPI has amazing colours and a HUGE range of products (including magnetic nail polish - what will they think of next!?!?!) with gorgeous names. In case you weren't already in love with that colour let's give it a name like 'Kiss me I'm Brazilian' to seal the deal.

Easy to apply and resonably long wearing the only thing that lets OPI down is the price. So perhaps more of a splash out rather than a weekly purchase (this coming from the girl who has a draw full of OPI)

However if you are going overseas duty free is your friend! They have great deals on OPI and better still..... If you or someone you know is going to america make them fill their bags as it is sooooooooooooooooooo cheap over there!!

One of the main reasons I find myself always returning to OPI nail polishes is the absolutly huge range of colours. If theres something specific that you want, say a colour to match a dress for a special occasion I would much rather spend the money and get an OPI rather than hunt through the stores for hours looking for just the right colour in another brand. Generally I have trouble with nail polishes chipping very quickly after I apply them despite using a top coat and base coat, which is so so frustrating, and I do find that OPI lasts a wee bit longer without the chips than less expensive brands. Despite saying this I find that for the money you spend on an OPI ($24.90) I would want at least four or five days without chipping ideally, which I haven't experienced yet. I will continue to use OPI polishes however as they are one of the better polishes that I've use that are available in NZ and very easy to get in Farmers.

I love the range of colours they have available!

Sadly tho these polishes don't wear well on me and always come off within about 2 days. They take forever to dry so i mostly always end up with a ding in one.

The brush is a good size and makes it very easy to apply. The colour pay off is great !! and i love the look of the bottles all lined up in my collection.

These nail polishes are definitely worth the money if you have it! They go on smoothly and quickly and have a lovely texture. They usually chip less than cheaper brands, but of course this tends to depend on what stuff you do with your hands (used to have a labouring job and there was zero point in painting my nails!). But they are awesome polishes and they definitely last! Also, they often have OPI on sale on sale websites such as grab one and NZ sale for super cheap which is awesome.
