OPI Nail Lacquer Review

I am guilty of collecting a few OPI polishes but am loving the limited edition ones. I know its a risk that I might not be able to get them again but I just love the colours. So when I saw a Chrome finish in Life Pharmacy I HAD to have it. Its a bit different as requires you to use the special base coat it comes with, and no top coat. It really looks like chrome but because of no top coat it really doesn't last more than a couple of days before it looks a bit worn. However, it specifies on the bottle that it is designed for one nights use only a couple of days is good. I recommend buffing your nails slightly to remove any obvious ridges and then apply 2 x thin coats of the base, followed by 2 x thin coats of the polish. Perfection. With all my other OPI colours I also add a top coat. I find it long lasting and quite chip-free if applied in thin coats, although can take a while to dry.

This colour is my favourite! It's a real 1940's Hollywood classic red that looks great on my fair skin tone. As always, the quality of the polish is great, being an OPI colour. Be patient when you apply, it does take time to dry and I would recommend 2 coats to give a good finish,

I absolutely adore OPI nail polish. I have over 50 bottles - I call it my collection. They have the most gorgeous colours - topped with a topcoat they last a relatively long time with no chipping

OPI produces great, vibrant nail colours. Their polish formulars are great and reflect the long lasting of the polishes. OPI have such a great range of polishes with shatter polishes, glitter polishes, normal polishes and even nail treatments like nail strengthener, top and base coat. They even sell hand and body lotions (usually stocked under their nail polishes at pharmacies) which smell absolutely divine and are really moisturising.

Love this range of nail lacquer, goes on so easily, smoothly and lasts.It doesn't chip as easily as other brands I have tried and generally only need to apply two coats. The colors in the range is stunning and keep seeing new ones I must own. Would love to have more in my collect but finances don't allow it often as the cost of it is rather high.

I cannot recommend OPI enough. Sure its a little pricey compared to a lot of the regular brands, or the discount brands but this is one of the few times the cost is economic in the long run. The polish is great quality, glides on well and dries fairly quickly. There are more colours than anybody could want, and yet you want them all! To keep the range fresh there are plenty of special ranges, or film/ celebrity endorsed packs which are always great choice and great quality. Worthy of buying over cheap brands, as you will need less polish to cover the nail, and less coats. The finish is sturdy and fairly chip resistant also.

This is my go-to nail polish. It comes in so many great trendy shades. So it is perfect for almost every occasion. Plus, and most importantly, it has a good last-factor. Unlike most nail polishes it stays on for ages and doesnt wear off or chip easily. Has a lovely sheen to it as well making it look like a more professional finish.

OPI had a captive market for mid-priced nail polish a few years ago but now there are other brands for the same price that perform better. OPI has a really good colour range that I will always appreciate and I wouldn't turn down an OPI nail polish if it was in a colour I really wanted. I do find they are prone to peeling off my nails after a few days, rather than having minor chips, which means I have to change my nail polish quite quickly.

OPI nail polish comes in quite generous bottles but I actually find I can't get through one before it turns gloopy!

I have a whole collection of OPI polishes (ahem, 33) and this is the one I use most often, usually always on my toes and occasionally my fingers - tho I prefer to stay away from black on my nails. I love glitter & sparkles! :)
