I love o.p.i nail polishes, they have amazing colours and the formula is lovely. I have a few colours and i love them so much. The colour pay off it amazing and is so vibrant. I usually apply a base coat, 2 coats of colour and top coat to make sure my colour lasts and so it will help it not chip as easy. I usually leave the colour on for a week and then change colours. O.P.I also many colours that you fall in love with, and maybe it will suit the mood your in. I have noticed some of nail polishes do separate but if you just shake the product it works fine. The price is really expensive and I usually wait for a sale or check out nzsale or big bucket sales as they are cheaper. Overall I love O.P.I.

OPI Nail Lacquer Review
Reviews
OPI is a very clever, well established brand. The reel us in with the ginormous ranges of colours and the fabulous, sometimes very witty names.
I wouldn't say they are my absolute favourite brand of polish, probably mostly because the hefty NZ price tag breaks my heart. I've found the formulation varies alot between different colours/finishes. Some I've found have been very long lasting, others chip shortly after application. Some are more opaque then others but sometimes I prefer a more sheer colour. I suppose they are pretty versatile, 2-3 coats and you're guaranteed a great opaque colour.
I've found a few of the bottles in my collection seperate after sitting for a while, so I like to give them a shake every now and then. Always a good excuse to just sit and admire how pretty they are!! I have also had a bottle break on me while travelling with about 5-6 bottles all in a little makeup bag, very hard lesson to learn but they are not indestuctable like I thought!
"Do you Lilac it?" is the best!! If you are a purple fan, do not go past this one!!!
Tips: Keep an eye out for deals, buy 2 get 1 free or the buy 1 get 1 half price at Farmers and pharmacies etc. Never buy them at full price!
Love the colours, goes on easy and stays on for ages without chipping. Love this product. Only brand of nail polish i own
I love using this glitter polish. I especially love putting it over the top of a black or deep blue polish for something a bit different. The only thing that I found was it was really really hard to remove and did ruin my nails at bit as I had to try so hard to get it off. Otherwise apart from that love the glitter polish.
Who doesn't love a sea of colour? I would change my nails every night if I had the time!
I have always liked OPI's bottles with their sleek black lids (unless you get a crackle or other special which often have a pattern). The clear glass bottle allows you to see the colour inside and the brush glides on so I only have myself to blame when I miss my nail completely.
OPI has amazing colours and a HUGE range of products (including magnetic nail polish - what will they think of next!?!?!) with gorgeous names. In case you weren't already in love with that colour let's give it a name like 'Kiss me I'm Brazilian' to seal the deal.
Easy to apply and resonably long wearing the only thing that lets OPI down is the price. So perhaps more of a splash out rather than a weekly purchase (this coming from the girl who has a draw full of OPI)
However if you are going overseas duty free is your friend! They have great deals on OPI and better still..... If you or someone you know is going to america make them fill their bags as it is sooooooooooooooooooo cheap over there!!
Tips: I store mine in a draw out of sunlight just to be safe ;) I have found this makes the polish last longer.
I think everyone is a fan of opi! buy at farmers cause they're $19.95 - definitely best price! you know with opi you're gonna get a good product
I'm in love with the liquid sand polishes. Their texture is just amazing! The dark bronzy gold metallic colour is both classy and royal looking. And I love how individual specks reflects the light sometimes in the sun. This dries super fast and because it's textured you don't have to worry about not having it perfectly smooth. Also, only 1 or at the most two coats are needed and the staying power is great. I've worn this so many times I've used half the bottle already! Goes with pretty much any event and outfit.
Love OPI and their massive range of colours but dont think they stand out against other big brands as much as it's made out, still a fave! but need more wear, some shades last longer than others in the range.
I love OPI polishes. The variety of shades and colours makes them my go to polish. Chips far less than most but still needs a top coat to cement in place. The more classic shades seem to last longer in my experience.
I used to absolutely love OPI and rave only about this brand of nail polish but now after trying other brands im not so sure. I think I was more in love with the colour selection and the different collections that were coming out all the time.
I don't like the way these chip off pretty much the next day when applied to the natural nail. That's just annoying and having to redo my nails all the time is not ideal. In saying that though, when these polishes are applied to acrylic nails they seem to last a really long time.
In conclusion, I am not a fan of these when applied to the natural nail and wouldn't recommend them at all but if applied to acrylic nails, go for it, you can't go wrong :)
Tips: Make sure you use a base and top coat when applying to the natural nail but when applying to an acrylic nail just use a top coat for extra shine :)
