To start with I didn't know whether I liked this polish or not, but over the last day it has grown on me. I didn't think the "liquid sand" in this colour was that amazing, yes it dried to a nice matte finish but I preferred it more after adding a topcoat. Looking at the bottle I thought the colour was actually going to be a really dark blue, but one coat was really light while two coats wasn't very much darker. I didn't think the glitter sparkled very much without a top coat either, was quite more of a subtle shimmer.

Tips: Add a top coat if you really want to glitter to sparkle!
I Found this nail polish to be really surprising, I followed the intructions of placing one coat of base and then two coats of polish and found the colour to be alot pinker than in the bottle, I think I like the colour it comes out as more than what is in the bottle.
This wasn't what I expected - I like the colour, it stays on really well, dries fast and looks great on. BUT I am not too keen on the texture and its HARD to get off.
Tips: Def use 2 coats of this one :) I had to soak my nails in remover for a few mins to loosen all that glitter and then it came off fine.
I was really looking forward to trying this as I am a massive fan of opi but was left a little bit disappointed. With caviar nails being the in thing I think opi tried to make liquid sand a quick, easy way of achieving that look but with Mariah Carey - Stay the night colour combination it just looks really cheap. Aside from that the polish is thick, fast drying and has a great staying power.
Tips: Put a coat of clear nail polish over the top to make it a bit more special Dont wear clothes that easily snag because as strange as it seems my nails kept snagging clothes with this polish
Although this product didn't live up to my expectations, it is a reasonable nail polish with a new and unique finish. The new liquid sand technology dries with a matte finish, as it is expected to, and feels literally like sand has been glued onto your nails. Although the surface dries quickly enough, the texture of the polish causes the underneath to dry slower, and can take up to half an hour. Although the polish did stay on for a week, it chipped quite easily and was starting to wear within a day (with three coats on). When removing the polish, the glitter took a while to come off, and the colour slightly stained my nails. I recommend wearing two base coats to prevent this happening and soaking the nail in remover, before wiping with a cotton swab. Overall, this product has a unique dried effect on the nails, BUT, I recommend this for the younger audience, as it does not have a very professional, sleek look (as I mentioned before about the sand glued on to nails).
Tips: Wear a topcoat of clear polish to achieve a more mainstream look, and help the shine to come through.
As the title says -it sparkles in the sun! Apart from the amazing texture and super easy to use wide brush ,this would be the most stand out thing for me.I had to put three coats on to get a nice colour-as it dryed it faded out.
Tips: If you are into your Autum/Winter colours this is for you.I would say three coats will give you a nice rich deep colour :) Thanks for the trial Beauty Review xx
I love OPI! Colours and selection are gorgeous and they're always putting out new, innovative products. This liquid sand polish looks absolutely beautiful in the bottle, a stunning blue full of glitter that catches the light.
I received the product two days before the review was due so I was up against time and couldn't judge the longevity of the product. However, I've commented on look and application =)
Given the title of the polish I was weary of the application, thinking it may be gritty and difficult to apply. But the polish applied just as easily as any OPI nail polish. I was impressed!
With the first coat applied I felt a bit deflated as it looked washed out and pale and not awesome at all! But I waited patiently for it to dry (which didn't take long at all) and upon application of the second coat, I got the full effect of the nail polish! It looks stunning on and looks just like a blue, glittery sandpaper - very pretty!
Given its extreme colour and glitter I wouldn't wear it on my fingernails but on my toenails, particularly during summer, it's a definite winner!
Tips: If you don't like the slightly rough feel of the nail polish, put a top coat over it to smooth it over =)
When I first saw the colour, I thought no not me, but the fact that I was trialling thought I had better give it a go. It flowed on nice, the first coat was a bit bland, but the second coat made all the difference, it added a nice sparkle/gloss to it. I will wear it again, but only in the winter,to me it is very much a winter colour. Like all OPI's it flowed on the nail nicely, and lasted really well.
Tips: I did a top coat, but felt it didn't really need it.
Was slightly disappointed with this polish as I expect the best from opi products, and normally get that from them. I found I had to apply 3 coats for an even color of this polish, as it started off pretty streaky! The matte top coat also picked up some of the black even when I had allowed to dry overnight (didnt seem to find this problem with other colors as much.) Overall when applied with the 3 coats this polish does have a nice shine to it on its own and does create a beautiful matte black with the top coat.
Tips: The French manicure using this polish and the matte top coat was surprisingly easier to create than I first expected! And does look very glam! Give it a go! :)
So I was lucky enough to try Mariah Careys new OPI Stay the night.... I put a base coat on then this product... I didnt like the texture on my fingernails. Once applied i had the urge to keep feeling them. I like smooth and this didnt really do it for me. I also noticed it started to come of easy while washing dishes (as most nail polishes do) but thought this brand would be more tough. I didnt really like the colour either i like bright. But each to their own.
Tips: Make sure you put a base coat under it
