I've worn better!

OPI was what all the ladies and I'm sure a few lovely lads were talking about a while back.

Such a hype about this product that is long wearing, smooth applying, fast drying and no crying over chipped nails the next day.

Well with my experience and wear of many of the OPI polishes my opinion and results I got from the product are different to what was promised.

It takes about 3-4 minutes to dry and even after that you can still easily get a dent or scratch or print on it.

When I apply polish my two layers are thin but there was no thin applying with the OPI range it's thick and heavy.

Even with a top coat, being it a 'tough coat' or 'uv gloss' it chips within 2 days. Sad but true!

Oh and you should invest in a good nail polish thinner if you buy OPI polishes as it gets thick and gluggy in the bottle really quick.

Tips: Purchase a good quality nail polish thinner if you buy OPI as it gets thick and gluggy in the bottle really quick.

OPI Nail Lacquer

I like this range but it falls more into the category of "good but not great" for me.

They come in an excellent range of colours and I love the shape of the brush for easy, even application.

For the price though, I'm not sure they're quite worth it. I've found that they tend to chip just as easily as a lot of cheaper brands and that the polish thickens up and gets gluggy a bit faster than I would expect.

I would buy these again on special but I would be hesitant to pay full price.

Lacking in quality

This is quite a pricy nail polish but with a wide range of colours to choose from, good consistency but in my opinion chips off nails quite easily for the price I would expect better quality product!

Amazing colour range but quality varies

I have quite a few of these polishes, in both mini and full sizes. Overall I find the brush from the mini sizes easier to work with. Across my collection of colours I find that some with last really well on my nails (five or six days with minimal tip wear) but the majority will only last two or three days before needing to be removed. For all colours I always need at least two coats for opacity and intensity of colour. I love the range of colours though - absolutely there is something for the fussiest of polish addicts!

Day and Half Manicure

I have used multiple OPI products, however without fail the product will be chipped or completely off within a day and a half. Even with under coats, top coats and everything else I can find, OPI just doesn't last the mile.

I USED TO LOVE OPI

seriously I think the quality of OPI has gone shocking. Its always gluggy, thick, hard to apply, and it just isn't worth the price anymore. I love the colour range and I do still use them, but it is pricy for the quality of this product. There are lots of other affordable brands which are of a much higher quality

OPI Nails

I love love the colours of the OPI range, but I find they take so long to dry! Maybe it's because I am impatient, but I've found that the colour will feel dry but smudge later on.

Tips: Wait as long as possible for the colour to dry before applying the next coat.

Hmm

Okay so don't get me wrong I do love OPI, they have the most amazing range of shades . BUT they just don't last long ! I find when I do my nails and I use the OPI base and top coat and within a day sometimes only a few hours it will be starting to chip which is quite disappointing considering its basically $25 a bottle. Really wish that the staying power was better :(

Pompeii Purple

I dont often paint my finger nails as I have terrible nails and tend to chip them easily but I love to have my toenails painted keeping them clean and tidy. I was a little hesitant to spend that much on a nail polish I had been buying the Sally Hansen Salon Manicure's that were a bit cheaper but then I saw this Pompeii Purple and thought it would look great on my tootsies for summer. I made sure I removed any trace of the previous nail polish and then painted them. The OPI bottle is a pretty little glass bottle with a nice long top handle, the brush is an average nail polish brush nothing special. I was pleasantly surprised by the pigment , the first coat was highly pigmented and you could have easily just left it at one coat it was quite a thick formula but not gluggy. I followed up wtih a second coat mainly out of habit. This managed to last me the week before showing any signs of wear and tear (even through changing shoes from gym to work each day). Overall I was really happy with this polish it lasted well and good colour pigment. I will be buying more shades of this for my toes this summer.

Tips: You wont need more than one coat with this polish

On the fence

I absolutely love OPIs amazing range of colours, they always have shades that I struggle to find in other brands so for that I applaud them! However I do feel it chips very easily, even when I am wearing a top coat it doesn't seem to prevent this. I also find with a lot of their shades you need to build the layers up quite a bit to get the best colour which then makes chipping more common! If it wasn't for those factors OPI would be my holy grail brand
