OPI

I love OPI. They have such a huge range of colours! They are so easy to work with. I love the consistency, the handle on the brush is easy to hold and the brush itself makes for an easy application. They're glossy, give great coverage (obviously depending on the depth of colour) and as for the range - there is more than plenty to choose from.

Would always recommend OPI. There is always a colour to suit anyone's needs.

My personal favourite is always 'I'm not really a waitress'. Never tire of wearing it!

I think the price is a little steep but it's well worth it!

Amazing all rounder

I think this has been the most long lasting nail polish I have ever used. They have an excellent selection of Colours, and it is really hard wearing. I have found it to last a lot longer than other brands throughout lots of hand washing, gardening, and even working on the car. Would definitely recommend to others, although the only let down is the price, being rather expensive for just one bottle.

Tips: Use a base coat and more than one clear coat for longer lasting wear. I use three coats of colour also.

OPI

I love the colour range, you will be able to find any colour you want! My only disappointment is that I don't think they last as long as some of the cheaper nail polishes I have. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I still buy these when I can afford it though.

Meh

For me for the price they are, I'd hope it would stay on longer. I have cheaper brands that last longer.

There are sooo many colours to pick from which is great. The bottles are nice shapes and easy to hold while painting and holding the bottle at the same time.

I really need to start trying more brands on my nails.

indifferent

So i'm in two minds about this polish. I have the matte version, it looks really cute but being matte it chips so easily and if you put top coat on its no longer matte defeating the point of getting a matte nail polish. To be honest I just stick to getting my nails done in shellac now - last for two weeks and my nails are so much stronger.

Wanted a bit more sparkle

Too dull for me - loved the colour, but I bought it wanting a really gold-y gold. It didn't look right with my gold accessories for the evening. Would wear again, but not with other gold in my outfit. More a casual gold, if that's a thing.

More hit than miss!

OPI - synonymous with "quality"

I've used OPI nail polishes for years & I have very few complaints! The colour selection is fantastic (although there are still a few colour variations that they never seem to get right in my opinion)

The collections that they come out with are usually beautiful, my absolute favourite was the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection . The colours were simply beautiful (think sea-foam green & gorgeous purples)

The few misses that I've had with OPI include the dreadful "shatter" polishes. Awful & tacky, they should never have seen the light of day! + every so often I'll purchase a beautiful looking colour only to find that it's so sheer that even after 4 or 5 coats I can still see my natural nail beneath several streaky layers =(

OPI does fantastic glitter polishes, they are super long lasting & stunning.

If I had to choose a favourite polish brand OPI would not be my first choice, if you had asked me several years ago I would have shouted its praises all over town but not so much anymore thanks to brands such as China Glaze, Essie & Orly. All of which surpass OPI in terms of quality, colour selection & longevity =)

Tips: Steer clear of OPI polishes at the big bucket sales/make up and perfume sales - they are often knock offs! Stick to purchasing them Farmers or pharmacies

do's and don'ts

I do enjoy opi, however I work at subway and my nails chip constantly so I've picked up a few tips to help them last longer.

Tips: firstly, apply thin coats REALLY UBER THIN! then wet your nails, then do the second coat. secondly, if it doesn't bother you, cut your nails quite short, it helps with not chipping and defiantly last longer. I'm yet to try a base and top coat, 1 because their pricey, 2 because im lazy hehe. xx

Love OPI

The nail polish is brilliant! Glides on and doesnt dry very fast meaning its easier to get a clean look without the time factor. Once applied it didnt take to long to dry and become tacky which is brilliant! The brush brisstles are amazing and of a high quality. I wasnt a fan to much of the colour and probably wouldnt choose the colour again but would use this brand over any $2 job anyday. The colour however is very rich and seems to take a dark tone looking rather brown on my skin however I am rather olive but on my daughter whom is rather pale look a reder look.

Would def reccomend OPI as a nail techician myself I work with OPI anyway and own most of the range however would back them 100% as a top quality product

Tips: being a dark colour make sure you apply a base to protect your nail from staining and turning yellow and buff prior to applying base to get a longer lasting colour. Also making sure to have a top coat to seal the colour and minimise te chase of chip and to seal the free edge.... along the edge of the nail to once again avoid chipping and making your colour last longer

Good and bad

Some of higher colours and finishes are great. I'm quite impatient with nails and tend to use quick-drying formulas, so I don't get to use my OPI as often as I'd like. The names are very cute and quirky though!
