Love

I absolutely adore OPI polishes, unfortunately due to the price I only own four (Mermaids Tears, GoldenEye, Make Him Mine, and Black Shatter). I absolutely love the OPI formula and find it fast drying, all the polishes I own are thick enough so that I can get away only applying two coats! I find them long wearing and chip resistant when applied correctly with a top and base coat! Love them and definitely will be building my collection when I can!

OPI Nail Varnish.

Being a qualified nail tech, I know a fair bit about nail products. The nail colour is thick enough to give a nice colour coverage from just one coat with other brands the colour and texture of the varnish is so thin that you need at least two coats of colour which does not give you bang for your buck. The colour stays on the nail fairly well it is not quick to chip and wear off. The packaging is okay but I think they should change it as other shops have very similar containers and so to some body that does not know much about nail polish coul be fooled into buying the cheaper brand and not achieveing good results. The brush is easy to work with and the bristles do not seem to become all yuck too fast. The colours are very close or true to the bottle after one coat from what I have tried. There is a wide range to choose from and they market the product with the use of celebrities too such as Katy Perry. The products have various types of looks too eg shiny, sparkley, shimmer, metalic, etc. They also bring out limmited editions making it fun for collectors. At $25 each they are not exactly cheap but still affordable for those who want a good product closer to a salon finish when used correctly.

Tips: Do not thin out or try to fix your nail colours by putting in remover this will affect the "glue" the colour will not adhere to the nail very well affecting the quality of the product.

#1!

Love this brand of nail polish. The colours are fun. The polish is smooth and silky to apply. Colours are true to the bottle. Long lasting wear. The only downside is the price.

long lasting

This is the first nail polish that I have come across that stays on for a very long period of time for example I can paint my nails and it stays on for 4-5 weeks at a time

Tips: Choose a nail polish that makes you feel happy and stands out in a crowed and you will get complemented where ever you go and trust me it puts a smile on your face and without realising it you have spread the word and everyone will go out and start buying :)

"OPI HYPE"

As a massive nail art addict I have used an extensively wide range of lacquer brands. What I absolutely love the most about OPI is the colour range. They have every colour in every shade you could imagine. Their colour range is so large that I could almost guarantee your local department store doesn't even stock the true amount of colours this brand has produced. As for performance I have found OPI do tend to chip a lot faster than other brands I have used, even with a top coat. Some colours are not pigmented enough. I have left the store thinking I've grabbed a particular colour and I am having to apply 4 coats just to get it a strong defined colour, therefore leaving my nails taking unnecessarily long to dry. On the plus side I love the width and thickness of the brush making application very easy which is complemented by a beautifully smooth lacquer that distributes so evenly over the nail. Although I would purchase this product again I don't believe it is worth its price. Perhaps after a few tweaks I would be more inclined to purchase without hesitation.

Tips: To get the best performance out of your polish I absolutely recommended to PREP YOUR NAILS! Clean, cut, filed and buffed nails make all the difference and also helps to keep your nails strong.

So cute, but...

I got given these as a gift by a good friend. Unfortunately 2 of these shades weren't particularly flattering with my skin (which can be a little pink at times). I did love "If You Moust You Moust" pink and the "Nothin' Mousie 'bout It" glitter with mini hearts. I use the hearts all the time over many of my polishes. As always consistency was good, perhaps a little on the sheer side, I needed 2-3 coats. I enjoy the mini packs because I tend to use them up while my full size bottles sit for too long and go gluggy.

Overall this pack would be great if it weren't for the colours not working for me.

Tips: Maybe avoid these if you are quite pink toned. I find they make my skin look even more red.

Such a lovely colour

This is a very gorgeous colour. One of the first OPI colours I owned and one of only 2 colours I have a back up of. It has a simmer that is just stunning. Opaque and an a easy formula to work with and the colour payoff is outstanding. One of those must have colours in every collection. I get plenty of complements when wearing this colour. It's one of those colours everybody wants to know what your wearing.

Nail gold

I am an absolute nail polish addict and my OPI nail polishes are like gold to me. They are such beautiful colours and are slick and easy to apply. The only bad thing I can think of is sometimes you need to apply more than the usual two coats to get the desired shade so not always a great choice when you need your nails to dry quickly.

My fave nailpolish brand!

The widest range of colours, fairly fast drying, and awesome for nail art: OPI just kinda does it all.

Tips: Certain types of lacquer are hard to get off, particularly the "liquid sand" range and the chunkier glitter style products, i have found its better to soak nails in nail polish remover before attempting to remove the colour.
