OPI Nail Lacquer Review

My Dad brought me my first bottle of OPI, Italian Love Affair about 13 years ago. Is a soft pink with a bit of a shimmer.I love OPI nail polish. So many different shades and love the fun names. I particularly like the shades of reds and pinks. OPI always brushes on so easy andthere is a colour for EVERY occasion. Keep an eye out through Duty Free as sometimes you can pick them up for half price or less.

I am completely & utterly obsessed with OPI Polish, They have the most amazing long lasting colours so theres always a Hot new colour for that next high end event. not too expensive, don't chip or peel off on my nails & always look flawless, i just absolutely love them... Wanting the whole collection for myself! :) Best Nail Polish ever!!!

I love OPI nail polishes! To start with they have a huge and amazing colour range! I personally own about 20 of them and I love them all. My current favourite is the gold from the Gwen Stefani collection. They have great colour payoff (I use two coats) and last for a long time! I also love the bottles and the cute names for the colours.

I am an OPI obsessive! Why you may ask? It lasts on your nails way longer than other brands, it doesn't have formaldehyde, they have amazing colours, love the names of the shades, it glides on so smoothly, I could go on but I won't.

My heading says "Posh" because that was my thought when I saw OPI polishes for the first time. They are presented in tasteful opulent wee bottles that look classy and fun. The range of colours available is unbelievable, ranging from demure beige and pearly pinks to sparkling, crackling and glittery shades that can be overwhelming when trying to choose!! It helps if you already have a shade in mind.

At the moment my new faves are a lovely plum/shimmery purple shade called "Meet me on the star ferry" and a delightful Peachy pink shade "Cozu-melted in the sun". Where do they get these names from? They are both gorgeous, fun to wear and go with everything.

I have found these polishes to be easy and smooth to apply with a generous brush and a rich thick vibrant formula. I apply 2 coats and this generally lasts a few days, with only minimal chipping. They are a good size and seem to last quite well without drying out and getting gloopy.

When speaking in a general sense, OPI nail polishes are some of the highest quality polishes available. They are highly pigmented, last well and are available in some seriously eye catching shades. However, particular shades can be better or worse than others.

My current favourite OPI shade is My Favourite Ornament, a super sparkly gold glitter. It was a limited edition from the Mariah Carey range that was released just before Christmas last year. It is the most glittery gold I have come across and two coats covers your entire nail in glitter. It is certainly eye catching and attracts a lot of compliments. It looks wonderful as a full set or as a feature nail. What makes this polish stand out over other OPI glitter polishes is its lasting power. Unlike other OPI glitter polishes this one doesn't peel off in big chunks. It lasts really well and is simply a slight annoyance to remove.

Another stunning colour is from the latest Gwen Stefani collection and it is a matte black. It is very bold, beautiful and totally matte however this only lasts a single day. Although it doesn't chip, it fades to a dirty black/grey and needs extra coats daily to remain black. I was quite disappointed with this colour as that isn't something that you find out until you have purchased it.

Overall OPI has some stunning colours at are unlike any others. However, for standard colours I prefer Mavala polishes as they are more affordable, even more pigmented and equally as lovely.

My fave brand of nail polish. Always such great, on trend colours. Always glides on with great coverage. Rarely chips. Great gloss shine once dry. Only down side - it's pricey. But worth dipping into the savings for.

I never understood what the deal with OPI polishes were until I used them.

Prior to using and owning them, I always thought most polishes are created equal - except for the price.

Then I picked up OPI's Bond Girls set and instantly fell in love. The colours are super vibrant, pigmented and easy to apply.

They last longer without chipping on my nails and are easy to remove (except for the glitter shades).

Now I am a convert to them and am slowly building up my OPI collection.

OPI is everywhere, from professional salons to a 13-year-old girl's bag. All the shades you can imagine (not like Essie) and the quality is always maintained. The price can be relatively hight at pharmacies but we have lots of deals online (and offline, I had an 8$ bottle from the warehouse) Although some products (such as the top coat) are not really my favourite, I still love all the OPI colours

I have 36 OPI polishes (obviously I love them :P) and think they are one of the best polish brands available. I find they last a decent time without chipping or wearing and dry time isn't horrendously long.

They have a beautiful range of shades (I would get them all if I could) and the formula is always great and goes on streak/clump free.

They also have the cutest names which I find cool and a good sized brush. They are pretty pricey in comparison to other brands on the market but they often come on sale and for the quality and shades available I think they are worth the price.
