all mani girls' favs

OPI is everywhere, from professional salons to a 13-year-old girl's bag. All the shades you can imagine (not like Essie) and the quality is always maintained. The price can be relatively hight at pharmacies but we have lots of deals online (and offline, I had an 8$ bottle from the warehouse) Although some products (such as the top coat) are not really my favourite, I still love all the OPI colours

Tips: I love the OPI brush, so easy to use

Posh Polish!

My heading says "Posh" because that was my thought when I saw OPI polishes for the first time. They are presented in tasteful opulent wee bottles that look classy and fun. The range of colours available is unbelievable, ranging from demure beige and pearly pinks to sparkling, crackling and glittery shades that can be overwhelming when trying to choose!! It helps if you already have a shade in mind.

At the moment my new faves are a lovely plum/shimmery purple shade called "Meet me on the star ferry" and a delightful Peachy pink shade "Cozu-melted in the sun". Where do they get these names from? They are both gorgeous, fun to wear and go with everything.

I have found these polishes to be easy and smooth to apply with a generous brush and a rich thick vibrant formula. I apply 2 coats and this generally lasts a few days, with only minimal chipping. They are a good size and seem to last quite well without drying out and getting gloopy.

Tips: My only issue is that they cost a little more than other brands but have taken advantage of the 2 for 1 deals when they are on offer, so good to stock up then.

No 1 in my book

I really do adore the OPI range of polishes, it has been a long love affair. Lets start with the brush, its a bit thicker and its perfect for my nails, 3 strokes and nail covered. The handle is a great shape, I find it the easiest to hold and most comfortable in my hand. The consistency of the polish, I've never been disappointed, not too thick not too think. I've always tended to use 2 coats. It does seem to last at least 3 days, I'm a user of the local hot pools so I find my polish doesn't last as long, I am a true fan. Now the base and top coats not a great fan, after a while I find they become quite thick and gloopy so I use another well known brand for top and base coats. I also was not impressed with the shatter (I have written a review about those) There have been a few of the colors that I have thought the name doesn't match the color like "Pepes Purple Passion" its not purple but a beautiful burgandy sort of color and the Muir Muir well that was a little different (also a review on here), but overall I always head to OPI shelves 1st especially when there's a sale. Love when they have the mini sets, gives you a choice of different colors for a great price.

Beautiful range of shades.

Who does'nt love OPI! I love that there's soo many shade's to choose from. It glide's on my nail effortlessly, The brush of OPI polishes i find really good, They fan out ove the nail just the way i like it! The polish itself, I find It to last a decent amount of time, Which is good considering it is on the rather expensive side for a nail polish. Definately an all time fav.

Oh my OPI!

Half of my nail polish collection is OPI. I just can't pass up all the gorgeous colours with their cute names. It lasts well (especially using their top coat) and always gets compliments - which I love because you get to share the fun names!! The only OPI I have owned that went gluggy is the shatter, which I wasn't that impressed with anyway (review on here) Some of my Faves - Diva of Geneva, It's MY Year, Black Cherry Chutney and I'm not Really a Waitress.

Tips: I like how their website has a testing part where you can adjust the hand to your skin colour and try on the shade. It gives you a bit of an idea whether a shade works with your skin tone. But to get a real idea of what the polish looks like and avoid disappointment in a shade it's best to google swatches as often people have pictures of them in different lights.

Love it but....

OPI is the go to brand for nail polish because they have an amazing range, are always bringing in new colours etc., and are pretty good quality. However, personally I think that for the price you pay, I would expect slightly better quality. Don't get me wrong, the finish, colour payoff and packaging are great, but I have found that OPI chips easier than other brands. I still buy them, but if I can get the same colour at a better price in another brand, I will try the other:) Otherwise, LOVE IT♥

Tips: apply a base coat, a few coats of colour and a non chip top coat to help the polish stay on longer:)

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.

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 ;-)

Wow!

When first seeing a picture of " Got the blues for red " it looked quite copper toned. But after using it, it is such a deep red/burgundy colour almost blood toned. In my opinion O.P.I nail polishes are fantastic with wear, i also find the brush heads are great with applying an even coat. I would defiantly like to buy this in the future and would recommend to anyone wanting to buy as it is such a great colour and perfect with winter coming.

Love it!

Tips: Never shake nail polish as it creates air bubbles always roll between your palms.

And for a thick coat without it looking raised or bumpy always apply in thin coats allowing to dry
