OPI Nail Lacquer Review

I Found this nail polish to be really surprising, I followed the intructions of placing one coat of base and then two coats of polish and found the colour to be alot pinker than in the bottle, I think I like the colour it comes out as more than what is in the bottle.

I was really looking forward to trying this as I am a massive fan of opi but was left a little bit disappointed. With caviar nails being the in thing I think opi tried to make liquid sand a quick, easy way of achieving that look but with Mariah Carey - Stay the night colour combination it just looks really cheap. Aside from that the polish is thick, fast drying and has a great staying power.

As the title says -it sparkles in the sun! Apart from the amazing texture and super easy to use wide brush ,this would be the most stand out thing for me.I had to put three coats on to get a nice colour-as it dryed it faded out.

I love OPI! Colours and selection are gorgeous and they're always putting out new, innovative products. This liquid sand polish looks absolutely beautiful in the bottle, a stunning blue full of glitter that catches the light.

I received the product two days before the review was due so I was up against time and couldn't judge the longevity of the product. However, I've commented on look and application =)

Given the title of the polish I was weary of the application, thinking it may be gritty and difficult to apply. But the polish applied just as easily as any OPI nail polish. I was impressed!

With the first coat applied I felt a bit deflated as it looked washed out and pale and not awesome at all! But I waited patiently for it to dry (which didn't take long at all) and upon application of the second coat, I got the full effect of the nail polish! It looks stunning on and looks just like a blue, glittery sandpaper - very pretty!

Given its extreme colour and glitter I wouldn't wear it on my fingernails but on my toenails, particularly during summer, it's a definite winner!

When I first saw the colour, I thought no not me, but the fact that I was trialling thought I had better give it a go. It flowed on nice, the first coat was a bit bland, but the second coat made all the difference, it added a nice sparkle/gloss to it. I will wear it again, but only in the winter,to me it is very much a winter colour. Like all OPI's it flowed on the nail nicely, and lasted really well.

Was slightly disappointed with this polish as I expect the best from opi products, and normally get that from them. I found I had to apply 3 coats for an even color of this polish, as it started off pretty streaky! The matte top coat also picked up some of the black even when I had allowed to dry overnight (didnt seem to find this problem with other colors as much.) Overall when applied with the 3 coats this polish does have a nice shine to it on its own and does create a beautiful matte black with the top coat.

This is quite a runny product, so it takes a while to apply as you also have to apply three layers to achieve the desired results. I absolutly LOVE the finished result, reminds me of a mid winter christmas and snow! :-)
