OPI Nail Lacquer

OPI would be one of my favourite nail polish brands, but I also only get OPI nail polishes in colours I'll wear all the time for because they aren't the cheapest and also because the nail polish goes a bit gloopy and doesn't apply well after a while.

This nail polish when applied goes on nice and pigmented so I often only do one coat which is a great time and product saver. I do like to use a top and bottom coat as well though.

The nail polsih dries reasonably quickly and then last about as well as a nail polish can be expected to. On me nail polishes like this can last up to a week in contrast to cheaper brands which last around 3-4 days.

These are great nail polishes, but I think brands like China Glaze are giving them a run for their money.

Perfect Red for my skintone.

About year back I got the shade call "Malaga wine" from life pharmacy Queensgate. They had some kind of sale so it cost me 17.99$ bottle. That time I got it very expensive but now a days you can get cheaper from some online websites or countdown when they have some special.

Walaga wine is perfect red for my skintone. I am tan skin lady so very hard to get some nail colour which suites on me perfectly. I was looking not bright, not dull like red brownish colour. I got right one that why I like OPI brand they have huge collection for every skintone.

Bottle is simple,classic like all OPI bottle. And nail polish brush is not thin and thick, it's just perfect for nail and bristles are soft and nice. If I am talking about colour consistency then it is perfect. You need just two coats to get perfect colour. Some nail polish colour consistency is very thin so you need to apply more then three coats to get perfect colour. To be honest I can't wait to long to dry each coat. Also OPI nail polish dry quick but not super quick. But better than other nail polish which I already used in future.

It is last upto 5 day on my nails without topcoat but if I use topcoat than its up to one week. Which is standard time. If you expecting to long, it's wouldn't possible for normal nail polish. If you buy big brand like Chanel, Doir or Mac they have same longevity so we can't expect more the one week, are we? Would I buy in future? Definetly yes. Huge colour range, good quality so why not.

Tips: Use base coat to prevent stain nail from dark nail polish.

Fantastic colour range!

What I love about OPI nail polishes is the huge variety of colours they come in and their fun limited editions. They give a full colour pay off with just one or two coats (for darker colours) The brush is wide enough to make a full nail application with just three swipes.

Sadly I have yet to meet an non-gel nail polish that doesn't chip on me as soon as I look at it. OPI is one of the better ones though and lasts forever on my toe nails.

What's no so great is that these polishes don't seem to store as well as other brands and go thick and gloopy fairly quickly or dry up altogether. For this reason I prefer the minis that you get in the limited edition gift sets. These have teeny brushes though so are a bit trickier to apply.

First Class Desires

I have recently started gettng into nail polish and have started up a wee collection. And I can proudly say amongst my collection I have a beautiful OPI nail polish in the shade First Class Desires. I picked it up from postie plus for about $10 which I thought was a huge bargain.

It's a beautiful dark purple with shimmery gold specks. It applies absolutely flawlessly. I only need one coat to get my desired look as the pigmentation of this OPI nail polish is incredible! It applies evenly so there's no need to reapply in areas to cover any streakyness.

I find that it dries fairly quickly, compared to my cheap nasty nail polishes so you don't have to sit around for ages waiting for it to dry. We all know how boring and time consuming that can be so it's awesome not to have that problem with this OPI nail polish.

It does last a decent amount of time on my nails especially if I apply a base coat and a top coat. It will start to chip around day 5/6 but that's to be expected and it doesn't bother me too much. On my toes however, it can last upto 2/3 weeks which I find completely odd, perhaps it's because we're constantly using our hands? I'm not too sure but the staying power is rather impressive.

I woule really love to expand my OPI collection as I am thoroughly impressed with my first ever shade. They have such a huge variety of colours which is really awesome to see. There's shades for everyones personal preference, wether you like pastels, glitters, bolds, they pretty much have it all.

mostly good

in my experience opi can be a little bit hit and miss, most of their nail polishes are pretty good, with a few duds, I have also noticed that they go a bit thick and gloopy if they have been sitting around for too long, whereas some of my cheaper nail polishes don't do this. but mostly the colours are great the texture is thick and easy to apply. and the formula holds up well whilst being opaque on the first try.

Yes I agree. The actual polish itself does not keep long and gets gloopy and unusable very quickly compared to others.

One of the better products out there

I like OPI, love their colour selection and the texture of the nail polish... for me it seems to be thicker and richer than other products. It just glides over the nail and doesn't come out blotchy and streaky like other products do too. It also isn't so runny that it's basically water and looks like a 2 year old applied it because its gone all over your fingers.

My only issue with this product is that it doesn't last longer than 3 days tops on my nails and thats if I'm extremely careful and don't do a lot.

Still use it? Would i recommend it to others?.... I still get OPI nail polish and I do recommend it to others because I still find it better that other nail polish products... also, the colour choices are just amazing.

They also currently sell them at the Makeup Clearance store (e.g., one store is located in Newmarket, Auck and they also have an online site) for around $8.50 I believe which is great and I believe the store also has regular sales on nail polish products.

OPI NAIL LACQUER

I love nail polish and i certainly love OPI ! I love that they come in many shades, so options are open :) always good to have a wide range of colours although my favourite one is the "mod about you". I wear this on my toe nails all the time. I feel like for my skin tone thats the best colour and it lasts for weeks with the top coat and even without the top coat actually. They are easy to put on and dries off quickly aswel. The nail polish is quite thick so you dont usually need to do many coats unless you prefer.

The only thing that gets to me is that it tends to dry up or get thicker which becomes hard to put on. The texture of the nail polish doesnt stay the same after awhile like other nail polish.

It is pricy but doesn't stop a nail polish lover to buy them :)

Tips: Apply top coat for longer lasting and shiny look .

OPI Nail Lacquer

As an ex nail technician I mainly have nail polish brands that my old nail spa stocked (Essie, Creative, Orly) but I own a couple of OPI polishes as they have a great colour range and farmers stock them so convenient to buy. When I was pregnant my husband painted my toes and he would only use OPI because of the fantastic big brush. If my husband can do a great job painting nails with OPI then I'm sure that most people can!

I apply like other nail polishes with a base coat, x2 layers of colour and a top coat. The varnish goes on well, gives good coverage and easy to apply. The bottle looks nice, is easy to hold and the polish lasts as well as other brands I have used.

Tips: Make sure to use a base coat to prevent staining and help to make the polish last for longer and a top coat for longevity and shine.
