OPI Nail Lacquer Review

OPI - synonymous with "quality"

I've used OPI nail polishes for years & I have very few complaints! The colour selection is fantastic (although there are still a few colour variations that they never seem to get right in my opinion)

The collections that they come out with are usually beautiful, my absolute favourite was the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection . The colours were simply beautiful (think sea-foam green & gorgeous purples)

The few misses that I've had with OPI include the dreadful "shatter" polishes. Awful & tacky, they should never have seen the light of day! + every so often I'll purchase a beautiful looking colour only to find that it's so sheer that even after 4 or 5 coats I can still see my natural nail beneath several streaky layers =(

OPI does fantastic glitter polishes, they are super long lasting & stunning.

If I had to choose a favourite polish brand OPI would not be my first choice, if you had asked me several years ago I would have shouted its praises all over town but not so much anymore thanks to brands such as China Glaze, Essie & Orly. All of which surpass OPI in terms of quality, colour selection & longevity =)

I found this brand of nail polish average. I brought quite a few of the mini bottles as I thought they were cute but I personally didnt find the quality of the polish any better than cheap stuff from the $2 shop, they all chip after a few hrs/ a day. But one great thing about the Polish is ive had my minis for about 3yeara now and they still aren't all gluggy and still work perfect

To be honest, i only purchased this for the glitter combination! It's very pretty and i'm a sucker for a good glitter. However, it chips after an hour of application every time and wears down at the tip of my fingernails very fast! I will not be repurchasing this as it's not worth the extra effort for maintenance.

OPI was what all the ladies and I'm sure a few lovely lads were talking about a while back.

Such a hype about this product that is long wearing, smooth applying, fast drying and no crying over chipped nails the next day.

Well with my experience and wear of many of the OPI polishes my opinion and results I got from the product are different to what was promised.

It takes about 3-4 minutes to dry and even after that you can still easily get a dent or scratch or print on it.

When I apply polish my two layers are thin but there was no thin applying with the OPI range it's thick and heavy.

Even with a top coat, being it a 'tough coat' or 'uv gloss' it chips within 2 days. Sad but true!

Oh and you should invest in a good nail polish thinner if you buy OPI polishes as it gets thick and gluggy in the bottle really quick.

I like this range but it falls more into the category of "good but not great" for me.

They come in an excellent range of colours and I love the shape of the brush for easy, even application.

For the price though, I'm not sure they're quite worth it. I've found that they tend to chip just as easily as a lot of cheaper brands and that the polish thickens up and gets gluggy a bit faster than I would expect.

I would buy these again on special but I would be hesitant to pay full price.

This is quite a pricy nail polish but with a wide range of colours to choose from, good consistency but in my opinion chips off nails quite easily for the price I would expect better quality product!

I have quite a few of these polishes, in both mini and full sizes. Overall I find the brush from the mini sizes easier to work with. Across my collection of colours I find that some with last really well on my nails (five or six days with minimal tip wear) but the majority will only last two or three days before needing to be removed. For all colours I always need at least two coats for opacity and intensity of colour. I love the range of colours though - absolutely there is something for the fussiest of polish addicts!

I have used multiple OPI products, however without fail the product will be chipped or completely off within a day and a half. Even with under coats, top coats and everything else I can find, OPI just doesn't last the mile.

seriously I think the quality of OPI has gone shocking. Its always gluggy, thick, hard to apply, and it just isn't worth the price anymore. I love the colour range and I do still use them, but it is pricy for the quality of this product. There are lots of other affordable brands which are of a much higher quality

I love love the colours of the OPI range, but I find they take so long to dry! Maybe it's because I am impatient, but I've found that the colour will feel dry but smudge later on.
