I am a lover of OPI Nail Lacquer, and always have been. They have the best selection of colours you could dream of. However I do find that no matter how I store my OPI collection, it is always the last 20% of product that is 'gloopy' and therefore difficult to apply. There are tricks that one can do to create a nicer consistency, but I am also aware that with some other brands I do not have this issue at all. Perhaps it is all in the ingredients used? Then there is the price, it's expensive! On a positive note, I also love the packaging. As I said it's a love hate kind of relationship!

OPI Nail Lacquer Review
Reviews
Tips: Store in a drawer where your collection of OPI will be less effected by the changes of temperature. Also there are specific products you can buy to thin out your Lacquers but if you have no such thing you can actually use a few drops of nail polish remover and shake well.
OPI is always coming out with creative new names, collections and colours. The product is amazing to use and is always a must have in your beauty bag! It applies smoothly and the finish is nice and even. Although I did find that it chipped easily but that can be easily fixed by adding another layer. I also found that the last bit of nail polish in the bottle tends to become a bit chunky, this makes it harder to apply and the finish isn't as good. But overall OPI is an amazing product that I highly suggest to every nail polish lover!
Tips: Apply one coat of basecoat, apply 2 coats of polish, then finish with one coat of topcoat! Also if you have weak nails apply a coat of OPI nail envy before applying your colour of choice.
Opi is definitely my favourite nail polish. It costs roughly $20 dollars a bottle which is about average for a nail polish and is worth the cost. I have a lot of opi nail polishes that I use often that have lasted at least a few years. It lasts a long time on your nails as well and doesn't chip for longer than other nail polishes. There are always new collections coming out so there are tons of colours to choose from. I would recommend it to everyone
Tips: Buy online from sights such as nz sale or trade me to make it cheaper
Everyone know's and loves OPI that's a given, but I almost feel a little bit guilty about throwing every OPI colour into the same "review basket"...
On the whole I have had great results. The colours are always stunning, the glittery ones are a must have, really the selection is great! But the price for NZ is ridiculous. I have a massive nailpolish collection and if I spent $24.90 everytime I'd be broke. Prices in the US for example are way more reasonable for OPI so maybe hunt around :)) On the whole great products sure, a tad pricey, is it worth it? For your fav shades sure, a juicy red, a nice midnight blue... but I wouldn't splurge regularly.
Tips: Using a matte topcoat over some of the brighter more intense colours gives them a really great bold look.
i am a lover of purple nail polish and purple with a purpose is superfab colour prob my favourite opi colour ever :)
Tips: never put overtop of nailpolish use remover first or it looks terrible and always use a topcoat
I have a lot of Opi. And I've loved them all until last week when I picked up 'in the spotlight pink'. In the bottle it looks a beautiful baby pink- which I thought would be good for everyday wear. However, when I put it on it was the most see through nail polish I've ever used. Even after four coats my white/pink of my natural nail was easily seen. I would reccomend so many other colours - just not this one.
Tips: Always wear a top coat and a base coat to make it lady longer an protect your natural nails.
When first seeing a picture of " Got the blues for red " it looked quite copper toned. But after using it, it is such a deep red/burgundy colour almost blood toned. In my opinion O.P.I nail polishes are fantastic with wear, i also find the brush heads are great with applying an even coat. I would defiantly like to buy this in the future and would recommend to anyone wanting to buy as it is such a great colour and perfect with winter coming.
Love it!
Tips: Never shake nail polish as it creates air bubbles always roll between your palms.
And for a thick coat without it looking raised or bumpy always apply in thin coats allowing to dry
Probably the best thing about OPI is their vast selection of colours and various finishes! the bottles are a nice size, the brush is comfortable to hold and applies really well over the nail. Application really depends on the shade and I have found the polishes I own dry reasonably quickly which is a big thing for me. I don't buy these at full price, although the polishes are lovely I don't think they WOW for the most part.
Tips: When it comes to a splurge on nails, I think you'd be better to invest in a nice topcoat like Seche Vite which penetrates all of your polish layers, turning it into one solid layer that dries quickly and solid.
As a brand I love OPI, I was gifted the Top 10 minis Gift Set and have used every single colour. They last at least a week without chipping and I am IN LOVE with their nude shades. Can't fault!
Tips: Use a top and base coat to ensure a long lasting result
What a splendid product. I love OPI nail polishes and I have a number of these delightful nail polishes in a variety of superb shades. I cannot say enough about this product. It is a little expensive, yes, agreed but it is worth the extra that you spend on it. It lasts longer and does not chip like other nail polishes. With a large number of other nail polishes when you use a bright colour it shows chips, streaks and peels easily, you don't get that with OPI. You never need more than 2 coats to get a deep rich colours. This polish does not chip with normal regular use. I work in childcare and am in and out of water, sandpits, paints you name it we do it, OPI can handle the tough work out that I give it. Honestly my favourite nail polish brand!!!
Tips: Keeping it in the fridge ... being in the fridge the nail polish does not thicken.
