OPI Nail Lacquer

I own 8 different OPI shades plus one top coat and they are all the same, such poor quality, streaky and chips like nothing else.

This is such a sort after brand that I'm not sure why I have such a hard time with this nail polish. I love the colours but that is as far as it goes I don't recommend this product to any of my friends as I just do not think it is worth the price here in NZ.

The reason why I have so many colours is I always think mm maybe I got a bad batch and the different shades may work better than others but in my experience they are all just the same. I've tried everything to make this product work for me but sadly nothing works. I find the $1.99 Sinful Colors Nail Polish to be better quality and actually lasts on my nails.

I guess I'm the only one that feels this way about OPI, I feel kind of bad :(

Average product

I find this product doesn't live up to the hype. There is an extensive range with many amazing unique colours but the actual quality Iets me down. After hours of applying it starts to chip of my nails which I hate! I have many other brands that don't chip half as much/fast as this brand does. It is rather pricy and I find I can find better polishes for much cheaper. I also find the longer you have the product the worse it gets. Mine always end up gloopy and hard to apply which is a let down when you pay so much for a product. I do think aspects of the polish are great! But more me I am always let down with the way my nails look when using OPI.

The name is the best part

There not many OPI colours that I don't like.But this one unfortunately seemed to under perform.

To be able to use it on its own you really need to layer it up and even then its still not very noticeable. I only use this as a sheen over other colour when I'm wanting a different effect.

The wear on it is still good but wouldn't recommend this one unless you are wanting it for a cover coat of another colour.

Overpriced and overrated

In my personal opinion I don’t think O.P.I. is worth what they ask for. You’d expect real quality and durability for the price range.

I have “We Seafood and Eat It” which is a fun name but I don’t really understand it as the colour is a pale red. Maybe I’m missing something. It’s a nice shade in any case and the bottle is a good 15ml so would last a long time.

The problem I have with this nail polish is that it’s so fragile. I always apply a base coat, 2-3 coats of colour (after allowing them all to dry), and then a top coat. Most of the products I have, for example Essie, or even $2 shop nail polishes, last for days, but I’ve found consistently that O.P.I. lasts a few hours before chipping or fading at the edges.

This product was a gift, but I would never purchase.

Love opi colors

I absolutely love the colors and shades that OPI comes up with the only problem is the brush isn't of good quality and they dry up and clump more easily then other brands.

Tips: Please Opi improve your brush

Im yet to have a problem with the brush. Tends to be the polishes you use most that dry up and start to clump as its the reaction with the oxygen that makes this happen.

Why is there glitter in my top coat???

I was lucky enough to be one of the few chosen to review this nail polish. So that being said i feel awful giving it a bad review, but we are here to be honest to help your decision on whether this is for you.

When Monkeys Fly is a sheer glitter polish, large gold hex glitters combined with smaller silver hex and circle holo glitters in a clear base. The consistency isn't too thick, nor too thin. That's not where the application goes wrong.

This looks stunning in the bottle but before even opening the bottle i could tell that the large gold hexes have a curve to it. This makes it extremely annoying when applying to the nail as it is very difficult to get a smooth coat.

As with any chunky glitter polishes, you just need a little patience. Have a wee play and push the glitter pieces around till you get the uniformity you desire.

I personally would prefer the gold hexes to be a little bit smaller for ease of application and a little more of a flattering look to smaller nails and a little extra small holo glitter (im a sucker for holo). However that been said it is described as a top coat to be used over a colour base.

Personally if i want this kind of look i would apply my own glitter and hexes over a clear wet top coat, i think this would be less time consuming.

To conclude, this is stunning in the bottle but on the nails it just makes me wonder why they even bothered putting the glitter in the top coat in the first place!

Tips: Have a toothpick or tweezers handy to turn the large hex glitters over so that they hug the nail rather than stick up and make the nail feel all rough and jagged.

A clear top coat does nothing to help smooth the finish. This is a top coat in itself so should not require any further coats on top of it.

Try putting a clear top coat to give it a smooth finish :)

Not quite what I thought!

I loved the weird rusty brown/plumish colour it seems to have in the bottle with different colour shimmers through it, but it doesn't quite turn out that way. It's very dark and dull with the first coat, It shines it's "true?" colours in sunlight, however, but in normal light it just looks like a dark brown to black polish.

Tips: Try applying two to three coats to bring out the colour

Dont love it as much as I wanted too!

I bought OPI because the brand recognition and everyone raves about it along with other reason like I loved the size of the bottle, the range of colours were awesome. But I just didn't love it. I bought it in 'Oh to be 25 again' which is like a red wine dark red colour (my favourite nail polish colour) and I found it wore off really quickly. I would notice after about 2 days that the ends would be faded already and as the colour is so dark it was really noticeable. So unfortunately this one experience has put me off buying OPI again.

Not a huge fan

I'm not a big fan of the OPI range. I dont find it lasts as long on my nails as other brands I have used and I don't find it as easy to use - I always end up making a big mess. The polishes do last longer in the bottles than other brands that tend to dry up which is good, and OPI have a fantastic range of colours. I wish I liked the formula as much as others do, but I just don't :/
