OPI nail polishes are not bad per se, but considering how expensive they are, I really don't think they are worth it. Chips really easily, even with a good base and top coat. They do have an extensive range of colours though.

OPI Nail Lacquer Review

Tips: You can get way better nail polishes for only like $3 – don't waste your money on OPI
I LOVE OPI! The colour range is absolutely phenomenal. Any colour you can think of, they make it. The lasting power is fantastic, I usually get at least a full week without a chip which is so good for me as I'm quite active with my hands at work. The removal process is easy and clean.
Tips: Seal with a gel top coat for even better lasting power!
I love the range. They last a week, I'm quite tough on my hands with cleaning and other brands tend to chip after a day or two,
I love this nailpolish brand I've tried many and I've found opi to be the best! It is very easy to use and forgiving if you don't have a steady hand. It doesn't come off streaky with lines and the liquid merges well with the already applied nail polish. Looks amazing and I've found it lasts a good 2 weeks on my hands without chipping, 1 month + on my toes. Would highly recommend!
OPI nailpolish is in my top 2 brands for nailpolish.
The quality of nail polish is great lasts long and the actual nail polish liquid in the bottle lasts forever! i haven't had any go bad on me til today, they are at least 8 years old and im still using them!
I wanted to like OPI but after using it a couple of times once it had dried it left tiny bubbles and holes on the nail polish on my nail where other brands dont do that
Have been using opi for years and years and is by far the best! And one bottle will last forever if looked after correctly
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.
Tips: Try and research the colours you're interested in before purchasing.
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.
I have almost 100 O.P.I Nail polishes - I love the formula for the regular colours (no glitter etc). The range is exciting and impressive, when a new collection comes out the marketing and packaging is well thought out.
The glitters need more layers/build up especially the chunkier versions, also when removing glitters treat it like gel polish and soak your nails for 10 minutes or so and it will come off a lot easier.
My nails are naturally very weak and brittle, so the polish doesn't last long for me, but I love experimenting with new colours/combinations every few days.
My favourite colour: 'Mod about you'.
Tips: ALWAYS apply a base coat! protect your nails!
