OPI Nail Lacquer Review

OPI leads the nail world for a reason, they have a consistent formula, endless colour varieties and plenty of finishes, including all their bases, top coats, and nail treatments. Of which I must shamelessly admit I have used quite a few of in different shades, and finishes.

OPI bottles are shaped to be easily held to prevent spilling as you paint your nails, they have a decent sized brush for accurate application but at times my small pinky nail is too thin for the brush but that is a personal thing.

Most of their polishes are opaque with 2 coats, except for their sheen ranges that are designed to be less opaque.

Removes easily with acetone free remover, doesn't drag the colour or fade over the course of a week. Or does it start to chip with a top coat for a good 5-6 days, without a top coat you can get 2-3 days wear if you are hard on your hands.

This is one if the most popular nail polishes on the market. It has a huge range of beautiful colours, I got two at Christmas from farmers for $30 on special. It was so fun choosing the colours. My boyfriend helped can you believe it :-P I guess i had higher expectations because of its popularity then I should have but I was a bit disappointed that It only Lasted a few days before it started to chip, I found it lasts longer if you apply two layers but the colours are so beautiful.

The colour I love -Pink Friday what an awesome name too but that is where it stopped for me . I found I required 3 coats to cover my nails as the mix is really thin and OPI brushes are dreadful to use once you are used to using Sallt Hansen brush. I was totally disappointed in the polish itself.

at thesmall sad brush as applicator Scratches and chips easily. At $25 price on the high side I tried again with base and top coat to protect and this was slightly better however still needed the 3 coats to look nice. sorry OPI I was disappointed in quality but the colour is awesome.

Got this as a gift and was nervous that the black would be a nightmare to get right as a solid coat on the nails, but I was wrong! 2 thin layers created a jewel-like black tone on my nails and I love wearing it! To change it up I might add a glitter layer to my ring finger, or a silver shatter nail polish on top. Either way, this color is a keeper :)

I used to use this a lot a few years back. There are like 100's of colours and they usually do a lot of limited edition collections. My favourite colours are usually the purples but they have a great range in every shade. It's a well known brand, and I get this polish when getting a mani and pedi. The hardest thing is shade what colour you want to use when all of them are so pretty.

I've tried OPI last week, I bought a few clearance items from a drugstore. I like that it's already pigmented with just one layer. My nails didn't turn yellow after I removed it, unlike the other brands.

I think the only downside is, it's not that durable unlike the gel type of nail varnish.

This was one of the first OPI nail polishes I've tried. The quality of the product is good - not very chippy,nice and smooth but not too thick formula. The only issue I had was that inside the bottle the polish looked like a deep dark dusky pink, but when put on my nails it was much more brown than pink. Still a very good colour, but not a good match for my skin tone. I'd recommend this to people with warm toned medium to dark skin tone.

I love OPI as it is consistently good- it doesn't chip as easily as most brands and I love the thematic collections. "Glitzerland" is part of the Swiss collection and it reminds me of fancy balls and swanky Swiss jewellers. It is a dark gold, not garish/ostentatious, but it definitely shines like stealth wealth. Mixed metals are a contentious and deeply personal option- I find that this looks great with silver jewellery as well as the expected gold.
