OPI Nail Lacquer Review
Reviews
the bottles are classic, and the brush is great - easy to hold, easy to use, nice & wide so you only 3-4 strokes & get even coverage. I've used 3 different colours & two of them required 3 coats to get a solid colour & one only needed 2. the odour is minial and the first to coats dry pretty quickly. The third takes a lot longer, but that is still fairly normal.
I find this polish wears off more than chips, which is great. Best results from preparing the nails first & always wearing a top coat.
I have quite a few opi polishes in my collection. I love the amazing range of colours and I'm like a kid in a candy store when standing in front of the opi stands in Farmers. They are very easy to apply, the liquid is nice and smooth and glides on evenly. The drying time is average, always make sure each coat is dry before applying the next or it will get grungy. The only negative I have is this polish does not stay chip free for more than a couple of days on my nails.
Now this is basically all I buy. Even when they have sat for ages a good shake and it's good to go. Great colour range and goes on smooth. A thin layer dries quick and two coats and your good to go! Love their shatters and glitters too. Pricey but worth it for the quality and you can get specials sometimes. Have far too many nail polishes but I'll always reach for these over the other brands I have
I am obsessed with OPI. I love the regularity that they bring out new collections- which means its "easy" to find a new colour that you love ( or many as in my case) Each collection has a theme as well. Farmers regularly have great deals on these ( 3 for 2 or 2 for $30) which is brillant yet dangerous for the bank account. I love the fact they also are coming up with new concepts- infinite shine, gel colours, designer series just to name a few.
Tips: grab while on special and watch your collection rapidly grow. Nz sale regualrly has them on sale and with hard to find colours. Check out nail blogs to see if you like the colours in the upcoming collections as well( sometimes before they hit our shores)
I'm not a big fan of the OPI range. I dont find it lasts as long on my nails as other brands I have used and I don't find it as easy to use - I always end up making a big mess. The polishes do last longer in the bottles than other brands that tend to dry up which is good, and OPI have a fantastic range of colours. I wish I liked the formula as much as others do, but I just don't :/
OPI is one of the better brands of nail lacquer that I'll buy. It is a bit pricey if you're not nail-obsessed, but for me just having one or two colours is great. It goes on very well, however I've found that it doesn't last as long on my nails as I'd hoped. But this is something I find with most nail polish.
OPI is kind of like THE quintessential nail polish brand, and to be honest I don't understand what all the fuss is about.
In the tiers of nail polish quality, it's hardly up there with getting a professional manicure done, and it's higher than the big name make-up brands polish (I'm looking at you, poor quality Maybelline and L'Oreal nail polishes!), but it's not the best. ORLY performs just as well in my opinion.
What I will give OPI is that they have amazing colours. My favourite is a shimmery pink tone, but even that's no unique.
The stay ability is like other brands - lasts me three days, maybe four or five max if I use a top coat and a base coat. Nothing to rave about. Some formulas apply very well, and some are awful, but this is true for most polishes.
Overall, not the best, but not the worst either.
i loved everything about this nail polish. Long wearing, great colours, easy to apply. i love white nail polish.
I love OPI nail polish, it is one of the very few brands out there that actually dont chip after 5 minutes which is great for us busy mums and the colours are vibrant and beautiful.
