OPI Nail Lacquer Review

I own a few OPI nailpolishes now, and I find I can go about 4 days longer without chipping and having to remove the polish unlike other brands! They hardly ever go gluggy and also come in mini sized polishes for on the go!

I admit it... I am addicted to OPI! I can't get over the formula and colour range and everything about these nail polishes is amazing. I like the funky names each colour has and how the range is endless as they are continuing to produce collections :)

I have found that some are quite pale and watery and need at least 3 coats before looking anywhere decent, I have also had a couple of shades really badly STAIN my nails before and the only way to get rid of the stain was to wait until it grew out! (and have now learnt my lesson to always apply a base coat) I have also found that they do start to go very sticky and gluggy when they start getting old, they also seem to chip fairly easily... On a brighter note I have found OPI nail polishes go on smoothly, and the brushes to be of good quality and their colour ranges are to die for. Its a love/hate situation for me.

Can't go wrong with OPI, not waiting around for ages for it to dry and the colour holds for so long too

I am an OPI addict and a sucker for everything they do! Best polishes around with a huge colour range. The brushes are amazing, the polish have a great consistency, and are long lasting.

A well known brand I must say. It can be really expensive if your purchasing from Farmers/drug stores but you can get them a lot cheaper especially from Trademe and wholesale places. The polishes seem to not last long for me, I'd say a week then it starts chipping. But despite using other brands, I will always love my OPIs just because the brand, the bottle, the brush and how it dries pretty quick.

I LOVE that they have just an array of fabulous colours, but they are not the bee knees, in my humble opinion. $2 Shop's (Made in USA) brand JORDANA has quite a range of gorgeous colours; the pink, lavender and turquoise polishes only needed ONE coat and lasts just as long as any of OPI's. Kmart's $5 (Made in USA) brand SINFUL COLORS is aaamaaazing! Sooo many gorgeous hues, incredibly chip-resistant and so opaque (of course that's dependent on the nail polish colour/finish). Even Kleancolor (available from Postie+) does a bang up job.

This is s good quality range. I have a couple of bottles that are over 5 years old and they're still going strong! Long lasting colour, good coverage when applying and a fantastic colour range that keeps up with the times as well as keeping the classic colours. I paint my nails every week and have a lot of different brands and types of polish and this is definitely one of my preferred brands. A little more expensive than the other brands so I don't buy it often, but it's such good quality that I don't need to as it doesn't seem to degrade over time,

I think that most OPI polishes formulas are over-rated, there not that great and chip easily if you don't use one of their top coats, there base and top coats are amazing but I don't love there normal colours formulas, they do have an amazing colour selection though.
