OPI Nail Lacquer Review

As the title says -it sparkles in the sun! Apart from the amazing texture and super easy to use wide brush ,this would be the most stand out thing for me.I had to put three coats on to get a nice colour-as it dryed it faded out.

I love OPI! Colours and selection are gorgeous and they're always putting out new, innovative products. This liquid sand polish looks absolutely beautiful in the bottle, a stunning blue full of glitter that catches the light.

I received the product two days before the review was due so I was up against time and couldn't judge the longevity of the product. However, I've commented on look and application =)

Given the title of the polish I was weary of the application, thinking it may be gritty and difficult to apply. But the polish applied just as easily as any OPI nail polish. I was impressed!

With the first coat applied I felt a bit deflated as it looked washed out and pale and not awesome at all! But I waited patiently for it to dry (which didn't take long at all) and upon application of the second coat, I got the full effect of the nail polish! It looks stunning on and looks just like a blue, glittery sandpaper - very pretty!

Given its extreme colour and glitter I wouldn't wear it on my fingernails but on my toenails, particularly during summer, it's a definite winner!

When I first saw the colour, I thought no not me, but the fact that I was trialling thought I had better give it a go. It flowed on nice, the first coat was a bit bland, but the second coat made all the difference, it added a nice sparkle/gloss to it. I will wear it again, but only in the winter,to me it is very much a winter colour. Like all OPI's it flowed on the nail nicely, and lasted really well.

Was slightly disappointed with this polish as I expect the best from opi products, and normally get that from them. I found I had to apply 3 coats for an even color of this polish, as it started off pretty streaky! The matte top coat also picked up some of the black even when I had allowed to dry overnight (didnt seem to find this problem with other colors as much.) Overall when applied with the 3 coats this polish does have a nice shine to it on its own and does create a beautiful matte black with the top coat.

This is quite a runny product, so it takes a while to apply as you also have to apply three layers to achieve the desired results. I absolutly LOVE the finished result, reminds me of a mid winter christmas and snow! :-)

and why I hear you say? Because like that phrase, this nail lacquer makes no sense!!

I held the bottle up to the light and I could see greens, hints of yellow, beautiful purples, russet brown. It's like a gorgeous oil spill in a bottle. It's a great shame that these colours just don't make it to your nail!

It's not even extreme lighting changes that affect the colour - if I move a toe it changes shade and I really wouldn't mind but the colours range from ooo to meh, to what?!

The deep plum shade which seems to occur most consistently in bright sunlight is gorgeous - its a rich, vampy, juicy colour.

Muir Muir on the Wall fails indoors and in muted lighting, where it turns in to either a mahogany (which is surprisingly dull) or a rather flat earthy brown.

I found two coats essential for shine and like all OPIs it last well and doesn't chip easily.

I found that this nail polish had a really strong smell, not sure if it was just this colour, I also found it tried a lot brighter but darker than I originally thought it would be, didn't love the colour, land up giving it to a friend but she loves it!

I loved the consistency of this polish, it was very easy to apply and gave a very good finish. It is opaque in two coats however you could put on three to make it a bit bolder. The colour looks more like a blue-grey with silver shimmers, I don't quite like the colour which is a shame because the texture is amazing!
