OPI Nail Lacquer Review

I have a love/hate relationship with OPI's nail lacquers. Some of the colours are lovely and opaque, getting the perfect coverage in just two coats, while others are more sheer and don't give a good coverage or beautiful colour.

For example, I bought "March in Uniform", a deep navy that looked gorgeous in the bottle, and "Gift Of Gold That Never Gets Old", a champagne gold. March in Uniform ended up being quite sheer and didn't look navy blue once applied, it was more of a sheer mid-blue, even with three coats. Gift of Gold was gorgeous, it applied well with just two coats and was perfectly opaque.

It's really hard to tell with OPI's colours if they're going to be sheer or opaque, and they should have some kind of indicator on the bottles to indicate this to purchasers. Maybe a sticker or marker somewhere on the bottle to indicate the formula of sheer, creme, shimmer, glitter, etc.

If there is an indicator, I haven't figured out where to find it.

Worth it's price, one of the pricy nail polishes in the market but worth it because of it's quality. Application is smooth and long lasting, you can tell it's quality as it doesn't chip away easily as other brands.

Favourite nail polish brand! Especially the shine range. Awesome colours although is pricy when not on sale. Lasts me all week before it chips. Goes on really well with their nail envy underneath

I will not use any other nail polish than O.P.I. It does not cause any damage to my nails, make them brittle and the variety of colours, textures are so huge, it makes it hard to choose. My go to and always colour is Princesses Rule. A light pink with a slight shimmer. Subtle but looks super pretty in the sunlight. It is also great to layer with other OPI nail polishes. Gentle and a jar lasts over a year, a great buy for the price and quality.

Amazing quality, definitely worth investing in these beauty's as it leaves nails looking and feeling longer, stronger and healthier. The nail polish lasts longer then most brands and gives off great coverage. Would recommend to everyone to invest in these

I LOVE this nail polish! Such great coverage and an incredible selection of colours. Wears well, fast drying and lasts really well I honestly don't use any other.

I LOVE OPI nail polishes. The colour range is amazing with vibrant, bright colours to neutrals and everything in between. It’s easy to apply and doesn’t get clumpy and lasts well, not chipping for a while despite my going to dance classes or the beach. Beautiful colours and the cute/sometimes amusing names are an added bonus.

Great quality nail polish, definitely worth investing in these! They last ages without chipping and apply easily. The range is huge, with so many different colours and finishes. I have never had a problem with any colour I have used and always love how my nails look with this polish. My favourite nail polish brand, couldn’t recommend more!

One of my top nail varnish brands! OPI is long-lasting and comes in such a nice variety of colours! The bottle lasts ages and it's fast drying which is so handy when i'm in a rush to do my nails. Love this brand

First of all, the colors are amazing, so props to OPI for that.

Where this falls down is its staying power, it just doesn't last, about a day or two later and it's chipping already, I've tried using their long lasting top coat, nothing helps.

Using this on my toenails is fine, it doesn't chip there.

Some of the colors can be hit or miss too, some aren't as opaque as they look in the bottle and some aren't as sheer as you might want. Overall I don't think it's worth it.
