OPI Can't find my Czechbook?

Loved the aqua blue, will be great for any season! A bit of streaking with first and second coats but completely opaque with third coat. Dries easily and great lasting power. On the 5th day noticed a bit on chipping on the sides but nothing major. No peeling either. Would definitely recommend and re-purchase again! This collection is said to be DBP, toluene and Formedhye free, a bonus!!

Tips: Use three coats, with two coats you will encounter streaking!

Sunshine sparkle

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

Does it have a metallic finish or just sparkle in light?

Found my Czechbook!

Totally love this colour! The perfect little blue number for all occassions. Glides on smoothly and is creamy enough that you only need 2 coats and it lasted a week before starting to chip.

Tips: The one and only little negative I have with this product was its drying time, but it was certainley worth the wait the colour is just gorgeous!!! Love love lovde

Can't find my Czechbook - escape to Central Europe

I love this colour! This shade of teal aqua blue has been a favourite for a long time, and now I finally get to wear it on my nails too! The colour isn't too dark or light, so it's great for all seasons. I recommend wearing this with a neutral coloured outfit and some accessories in a similar colour, to really make this colour pop.

This would make a great colour for a modern French mani - use on nail tips, with a thick base coat of a cream colour (ie. OPI My Vampire is Buff). Would also look great with a chunky glitter on top.

Very creamy, easy to apply formula. It's OPI so I'm sure it will last ages too.

Tips: 2-3 coats works best. Be creative with glitter or french manis, or keep it simple for a more classic look.

Best Polish

I have always used OPI as my preferred polish brand. It stays on and the brush is great. This is a great glitter, I put it over a dark base so it really stood out. It needs a top coat to make it smoother and seal it.

Tips: I think it looks great over a darker base. Don't forget top coat.

Pretty colour

This was the most amazing shade of blue and I had to buy it when I was at the store. So I tried it on and it works really nicely with my light tanned skin only negative would be that it takes quite a bit of time to dry

Tips: Allow a significant time to dry!

Long lasting sparkly glitter

I love the O.P.I When Monkeys Fly. I have tried lots of different glitter nailpolished but most of them chip and parts of the glitter come off. But this O.P.I nailpolish has been amazing, it has lasted for one whole week without chips. The transparent colour is perfect over other colours, it also looks great when worn by itself. I would definately buy this again and recommed every girly girl at least owns one of the glitter When Monkeys Fly by OPI. :)

Tips: Great to be worn over other nail polishes as an outer coating!!

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 :)
