OPI Is A Rainbow !!

I love the range of colours they have available!

Sadly tho these polishes don't wear well on me and always come off within about 2 days. They take forever to dry so i mostly always end up with a ding in one.

The brush is a good size and makes it very easy to apply. The colour pay off is great !! and i love the look of the bottles all lined up in my collection.

Tips: Get a good top coat !!!

Fantastic nail polish

These nail polishes are definitely worth the money if you have it! They go on smoothly and quickly and have a lovely texture. They usually chip less than cheaper brands, but of course this tends to depend on what stuff you do with your hands (used to have a labouring job and there was zero point in painting my nails!). But they are awesome polishes and they definitely last! Also, they often have OPI on sale on sale websites such as grab one and NZ sale for super cheap which is awesome.

Tips: Definitely invest in a base coat and possibly even a top coat cos they help the polish last heeeeaps longer!

best of the bunch

I definitely haven't found a brand that beats OPI. They have the best colour range, and I find most colours last really well on my nails. I used to avoid buying it all the time and get cheaper polishes, only to regret my choice instantly! Now I only purchase Revlon fast dry and OPI polishes.

Tips: I find the metallic polishes tend to chip faster than the matte ones.

OPI Nail Lacquer

I purchased my first OPI a few years ago after hearing a friend rave on about the brand and got hooked...

There are so many great colours in OPI's range and i love that they bring out 'collections' with colours that all compliment each other. The OPI bottles are a decent size and the brush has really great coverage, only needing 2 swipes to cover your nail (although i usually tend to do 3 as that is how i was taught to do them!) The OPI formula is not too runny so it gives you a great finish after 2 coats and lasts quite well, however i dont really feel like it has any better staying power than other leading nail polish brands. With the $20-$25 price tag i usually only purchase them now if i really like the colour, as i have found a slightly cheaper brand with the same quality. In saying that i do regularly use the ones i have purchased in the past. All in all definitely a great brand that i would have no hesitation in recommending to others!

OPI Nail Lacquer

I love all the shades OPI has! The long range and creative names, but one downside is that they always chips off after 2-3 days. Which is pretty frustrating because I am not good at putting on nail polish, but i love the colours on my nails!

Expected more but still a great polish

After wanting to try Opi nail polish for ages i finally got one, just 1 to begin with to trial and decide whether they are worth the money or not. I got the color 'Don't pretzel my buttons' which is the most perfect nude shade i've ever seen, really happy with it! Every other nude/ neutral/ natural color nail polish I have is either too pinky or too peachy this one is a pale creamy beige, very clean and sophistced looking color a lot like the color of baylies liqueur.

Considering the general full RRP of Opi nail polish i was expecting the brush to be different to other polishes, for it to be a bit special i guess but it's fairly standard. The brush is slightly flat and does a good enough job of getting into the edges tidily. The formula is what I consider to be ideal for a nail polish, glides on with ease and the finish is neat & solid with 2 coats. I expected this polish to be more chip resistant considering all of the hype over this brand, but it's chipping within a couple of days like any other average polish. (Without top coat that is, get an extra day or so out of it with top coat.)

I will definately buy Opi nail polish again if i happen to see a colour i really like and its no more than $10 but the $25 RRP, no way. While i do think this is great quality polish i have many much more affordable brands of nail poish in my collection that are equaly or nearly as good as Opi.

Great range of colours

I own quite a few OPI nail enamels. I find the colours are amazing and quite different to other brands. The names are clever and imaginative. I alway use a base coat no matter what brand I am using and 2 coats of colour. Then a top coat to finish. I do find the tips of my nails wear off and it will chip easily. I'm not sure if it is because it is thick but it is very annoying as it takes a while to dry. I have found cheaper brands actually last longer which is a shame because OPI is quite expensive.

My favourite!

I am in love with OPI polishes. To begin with the price put me off a little bit, but then I tried one out and OPI is now one of the only polishes l'll use.

The colour range is extensive, varied and fun and with when applied to clean, buffed nails with a base and top coat it lasts for days longer than most cheaper nail polishes. This is a huge plus for me as I work in early childhood, so I wash my hands about 20 times a day.

Tips: Make sure you prepare your nails by cleaning, buffing, and applying a base coat first. This will make the polish last a lot longer.

Depends on the colour and the collection.

On a whole these are very high quality nail polishes. However do your research before purchasing a colour. For me personally, I've noticed that Pink Friday and Fly (Nicki Minaj series) are not very good (gloopy and sticky) and they dry out and change texture very easily and don't have a very long shelf life in general. This doesn't work well with the brush size. The gelly/glossier colours seem to do better. I would still recommend them but there are definitely better brands out there.

O.P.I'm into it ;)

O.P.I nail polish are one of my favourite nail polishes to use! I like the creamy formula, how most of them dry or 'set' almost instantly and most of all, the variety of colours they offer! for every single skin tone, occasion, trend and however you're feeling at the time :P Most of the O.P.I colours do look the same in my opinion, like the reds! I can never tell the difference between some of them! I like the more pastel, creamy, nude colours and although nudes are the hardest colours for me to put on without the streak marks O.P.I makes it easy for me with the great combination of the formula and the brush :)

Although they are a bit pricey sitting at $24.90 each you can get them cheaper online or they do quite often go on special :)
