OPI Nail Lacquer Review

I brought this as part of a Minnie Mouse mini quad pack, and find the colour to be quite sheer/light even after two coats. I do like the added sparkle that it has; its not like a chunky glitter polish.

I'm so in love with short white nails and my cheap polish I had wasn't cutting the mustard so I went out and purchased this one in the weekend and to be honest I was left pretty disappointed. I expect good quality out of brands like OPI and Orly and most of the time I love them but when it comes to pastels they always seem to fall short. The first coat is super streaky and the second coat doesn't always come out streak free. Three coats is just getting too thick and tough to dry without bumping or smudging.

OPI is kind of like THE quintessential nail polish brand, and to be honest I don't understand what all the fuss is about.

In the tiers of nail polish quality, it's hardly up there with getting a professional manicure done, and it's higher than the big name make-up brands polish (I'm looking at you, poor quality Maybelline and L'Oreal nail polishes!), but it's not the best. ORLY performs just as well in my opinion.

What I will give OPI is that they have amazing colours. My favourite is a shimmery pink tone, but even that's no unique.

The stay ability is like other brands - lasts me three days, maybe four or five max if I use a top coat and a base coat. Nothing to rave about. Some formulas apply very well, and some are awful, but this is true for most polishes.

Overall, not the best, but not the worst either.

The colour I love -Pink Friday what an awesome name too but that is where it stopped for me . I found I required 3 coats to cover my nails as the mix is really thin and OPI brushes are dreadful to use once you are used to using Sallt Hansen brush. I was totally disappointed in the polish itself.

at thesmall sad brush as applicator Scratches and chips easily. At $25 price on the high side I tried again with base and top coat to protect and this was slightly better however still needed the 3 coats to look nice. sorry OPI I was disappointed in quality but the colour is awesome.

The colour on screen and on the bottle looks so gorgeous.. A rich plum colour. I loved the look of the colour so was super stoked to have been selected to review. I was however disappointed when the first coat looked more like brown than rich plum. A second coat didn't help either and many friends thought it was actually black. In the sunlight however, the rich plum look came through and it looked super pretty but that was about it. Apart from colour, the two coats lasted about 3 days without a top coat. Love OPI , but sorry muir muir, I wasn't at all fascinated.

I went and brought some of the OPI nail lacquer's after hearing all about them. I had high hopes but once I tried the them i wasn't so impressed. I had to do 3 layers to get the look that was acceptable.

When I brought this I did have high expectations. It was less than four days before it started chipping. For the price I thought it would last longer.. So a little disappointed...

I love using this glitter polish. I especially love putting it over the top of a black or deep blue polish for something a bit different. The only thing that I found was it was really really hard to remove and did ruin my nails at bit as I had to try so hard to get it off. Otherwise apart from that love the glitter polish.

I used to absolutely love OPI and rave only about this brand of nail polish but now after trying other brands im not so sure. I think I was more in love with the colour selection and the different collections that were coming out all the time.

I don't like the way these chip off pretty much the next day when applied to the natural nail. That's just annoying and having to redo my nails all the time is not ideal. In saying that though, when these polishes are applied to acrylic nails they seem to last a really long time.

In conclusion, I am not a fan of these when applied to the natural nail and wouldn't recommend them at all but if applied to acrylic nails, go for it, you can't go wrong :)
