My favourite brand of polish.

I never understood what the deal with OPI polishes were until I used them.

Prior to using and owning them, I always thought most polishes are created equal - except for the price.

Then I picked up OPI's Bond Girls set and instantly fell in love. The colours are super vibrant, pigmented and easy to apply.

They last longer without chipping on my nails and are easy to remove (except for the glitter shades).

Now I am a convert to them and am slowly building up my OPI collection.

Amazing!!!

My fave brand of nail polish. Always such great, on trend colours. Always glides on with great coverage. Rarely chips. Great gloss shine once dry. Only down side - it's pricey. But worth dipping into the savings for.

Tips: Tell all your friends and family that you LOVE them, you might get some as birthday and xmas prezzies! :-)

From gold glitter to matte black

When speaking in a general sense, OPI nail polishes are some of the highest quality polishes available. They are highly pigmented, last well and are available in some seriously eye catching shades. However, particular shades can be better or worse than others.

My current favourite OPI shade is My Favourite Ornament, a super sparkly gold glitter. It was a limited edition from the Mariah Carey range that was released just before Christmas last year. It is the most glittery gold I have come across and two coats covers your entire nail in glitter. It is certainly eye catching and attracts a lot of compliments. It looks wonderful as a full set or as a feature nail. What makes this polish stand out over other OPI glitter polishes is its lasting power. Unlike other OPI glitter polishes this one doesn't peel off in big chunks. It lasts really well and is simply a slight annoyance to remove.

Another stunning colour is from the latest Gwen Stefani collection and it is a matte black. It is very bold, beautiful and totally matte however this only lasts a single day. Although it doesn't chip, it fades to a dirty black/grey and needs extra coats daily to remain black. I was quite disappointed with this colour as that isn't something that you find out until you have purchased it.

Overall OPI has some stunning colours at are unlike any others. However, for standard colours I prefer Mavala polishes as they are more affordable, even more pigmented and equally as lovely.

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.

The only polish I buy!

I am an OPI obsessive! Why you may ask? It lasts on your nails way longer than other brands, it doesn't have formaldehyde, they have amazing colours, love the names of the shades, it glides on so smoothly, I could go on but I won't.

Great! My fav!

I love OPI nail polishes! To start with they have a huge and amazing colour range! I personally own about 20 of them and I love them all. My current favourite is the gold from the Gwen Stefani collection. They have great colour payoff (I use two coats) and last for a long time! I also love the bottles and the cute names for the colours.

Tips: I use OPI with a jordana basecoat as I find that my polish lasts longer with this basecoat. I also apply a topcoat after applying my two coats of OPI.

OPI Only!

I am completely & utterly obsessed with OPI Polish, They have the most amazing long lasting colours so theres always a Hot new colour for that next high end event. not too expensive, don't chip or peel off on my nails & always look flawless, i just absolutely love them... Wanting the whole collection for myself! :) Best Nail Polish ever!!!

Tips: It is always best to use a base coat before applying to protect your nail plate & avoid discolouring from the polish, & Use a topcoat to seal in that long lasting shine to keep extra flossy ;)

I LOOOOOOVE OPI

My Dad brought me my first bottle of OPI, Italian Love Affair about 13 years ago. Is a soft pink with a bit of a shimmer.I love OPI nail polish. So many different shades and love the fun names. I particularly like the shades of reds and pinks. OPI always brushes on so easy andthere is a colour for EVERY occasion. Keep an eye out through Duty Free as sometimes you can pick them up for half price or less.

Tips: Definitely go in to your local pharmacy and check out an OPI stand. Their handcream is lovely as well.

OPI loveliness

OPI is one of those brands that would suit any personality and any age group. I love the diversity of the colour range, the different nail polish textures of matt and shimmers which just offers something for everybody.

No streakiness when applying, you dont needs tonnes of coats for desired pigment of colours and the nail polish is long wearing. Ticks all the boxes of the a great nail polish for me.

Big fan here

I've only recently started collecting OPI colours, before that I always thought why pay more? Well these are definitely worth the money, normal polishes chip within a day on me usually but I can get at least 5 days out of OPI and even then it's usually only teeny chips at the very ends. There is such a wide range of colours and I love the cute puns for names. I think I have about 10 of them and my favourite is a pink sand one.

Tips: I use a maybelline quick dry top coat to help it last just a little bit longer. Also shop around for good deals, there are heaps of online places that have sales where they go down to around $10 each which is such a great price.
