While the price for a nail polish is a little high, the dense pigmentation, chip-resistance and long lasting shine make it worth it. The polishes are pretty opaque so you can get by with only 1 coat most of the time and the slightly wider brush makes the 3-stroke rule easy too. All OPI polishes are 3-free so you don't have to worry about toxic chemicals and while the smell is normal for nail polish, the quick fry time means it doesn't last long. If I had the finances, all of my polishes would be OPI.

OPI Nail Lacquer Review
Reviews
Tips: Always always always use a base coat. OPI makes base/topcoat hybrids, ridge filling basecoats, rubberised basecoats and even a special peel off version for glitter polishes so there really is no excuse
OPI is my go to nail polish. It's hard to find better! I find with a lot of other brands of nail polish you have to do about 4/5 different coats to get the colour that is advertised. With OPI you only have to do one coat. Two if you want it to really stand out! I love all of the fun names that make it super easy to remember your favourites and ones you want to try. My favourite at the moment is "I'm not really a waitress" which is a deep red. After trying a few cheaper options, I would only ever by OPI again. It may be more expensive but it lasts longer, easy to get off, easy to apply and beautiful colours.
Tips: Put on a top coat for your nail polish to last longer without chips :)
I have many nail polishes but OPI is may fav by far! it just so much longer than avergae nail polish and its such a thick liquid that i feel like its hard for it to get chipped. Its also easy to remove with nail polish remover.
Tips: Use a base and a top coat
Realible, long wearing, fantastic colours!
I do not wear colours often on my finger nails but colours on my toes is a must.
OPI colours wear amazingly without chipping and the pigments are fantastic. I love the range of colours and the names are totally Cute!
The shimmer/ harlequin colours are dramatic & awesome!
I also enjoy the clear as a top coat and just to leave my nails natural and glossy.
Tips: Why choose anything else?!
Other than the fact that my nails dislike OPI and chip within the first day no matter what salon or top coat i use etc, Mod About You is a fantastic colour and i use this with another of my all time favourites from another brand. (i just do a quick fix up when it starts to chip) There are a few other colours i would continue to buy just because of the colour, not the fact it is OPI. Gwen Chrome: not what i wanted it to be. Looked ugly on me. even on my toes, no smiley faces with this one, so gave it away.
Love this polish. It goes on smooth and streak free. The brush is soft and wide enough to cover my nails in 3 strokes. However it does tend to chip fairly quickly.
After spending money on cheap and tacky polishes for years, about 2 years ago I got my first OPI. And there has been no turning back!
It is absolutely worth spending the extra money, something I was loathe to do with thin, brittle nails. However, I immediately found that if I took the time to do two coats of my colour of the week, it strengthened my nails like I have never felt. Now my nails feel so much harder, and therefore do not tear like the did before.
With OPI, I could waste an hour trying to choose a new colour - there are SO MANY! Honestly you could find any shade, its fabulous!
Tips: I always like to use a clear base so that when I take off my polish, my nails are not stained. I always put on two coats of my OPI. Its hardier and really just sets your colour choice. Lastly, a clear topcoat - you really won't have any chips or nicks!
Its worth the money - try one bottle and see for yourself!!
OPI Nail Polishes are amazing.
They come in a fantastic colour range, are long wearing, glide on like a treat and are highly pigmented.
They are quite expensive but I think they are worth the investment.
Tips: Keep an eye out for sales in-store, or check out ebay as they are quite pricey and grab a bargain.
I love OPI nail polishes, they are probably the best I have used, because they are easy to apply, dry quickly, and when paired with a base coat and top coat, they stay on for days. However the only downside is that if you don't use a base coat and top coat, they seem to chip quite fast. The color range is massive, and they all look amazing, totally worth the price in my opinion.
OPI is a very popular brand and I can see why, it has basically any colour you want and also is very easy to apply. I have a whole bunch of OPI and am very happy with all of the colour choices
Tips: Use and top coat and base coat to ensure long lasting wear.
