OPI - It's a love and hate kind of relationship.

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!

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.

Great results, great range, but expensive!

I think OPI is a great brand. They have a fantastic selection of shades and finishes. I am a huge fan of their glitter polishes! The consistency of their products I find is always really nice and two coats generally does it. I also love the quirkyness of their product names. My all time OPI fave would have to be 'My private Jet' which is what I would describe as a beautiful black with bronze/near holographic shimmers. I always get the most amazing compliments and it wears very well.

Tips: Remember to always use a base coat to prevent yellowing and a top coat to ensure you seal the polish.

OPI Lacquers

I have loved OPI since becoming obsessed with nail polishes a few years ago...and now I have such a huge collection! What I love most about OPI is the range of colours they have available, colours that you just don't find anywhere else. For most colours one coat usually does the trick, but I like bold colours so I tend to do at least 2 coats. What I dislike about OPI is the fact they are so expensive! For this reason, I'm branching out and trying polishes from other brands to see how they compare. As well as this, OPI chips a day after I apply it (literally) so for me, I know if I don't want to go through that process, I won't wear it. Lastly, I dislike how the different collections almost always are limited edition, so you have to stock up on your favourite colour!

Tips: I have weaker nails, so this may be the reason OPI chips so easily for me. I wonder if it works better for those with naturally strong nails?

A lovely collection

OPI as a brand are renowned for their epic nail polish collections, and lets not forget the quality of their polishes. Every single polish I've used and owned from OPI have never failed to deliver - high, beautiful colour intensity, a nice formulation with the polish consistency being easy to work with and the manicure usually lasts a while before chipping. I really like the fact that you can get OPI in mini's as well. I just received an OPI "It's My Year" bottle today, a colour I'm completely in love with at the moment.

Tips: Always use a base coat to give the polish a nice surface to glide onto and a top coat to finish the look.

crowd favourite

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.

Totally agree. I love OPI but I only treat myself every now and then and only if I absolutely can't live without the colour haha

I love OPI

I love OPI Nail Polish, it's so easy to apply, the dry time is good, and the colours are gorgeous, the only thing I don't like about OPI is that apparently they test on animals :( don't know if I would purchase again just for that reason, I would probably rather look around for a different good brand. Having said that, doing my nails using OPI is just great.

Amazing Colour Selection

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.

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

Generally amazing

I've tried a few different colours from OPI and I think their selection is amazing but I don't think the quality throughout the whole range is overly consistent.

Some colours I've tried are awesome and have amazing lasting power, but some end up peeling completely off my nails by the second day of wear.

An awesome positive to OPI that i've found is that none of them have stained my nails, which is amazing. Almost all nail polishes apart from OPI will stain my nails and I hate that, so avoiding stained nails is a big thing for me (especially when i'm so bad at remembering to use a base coat).

I would totally recommend people trying these out, it's worth it for the colours and selection, just not always the lasting power - but everybody's different and may have amazing results with each one they try :)

Tips: Base and top coat ;)

Worth the splurge

The quality of the formula varies from colour to colour and they may be a little pricey but overall I love OPI Polishes. They have an amazing range of colours and textures, are relatively easy to apply to your nails, and don't take a lot of time to dry. My favourite colour has to be Fly from the Nicki Minaj range!!

Tips: If you're using any of the polishes that are extremely glittery, you'll need to use a few layers of base coat to make it easier for you to remove in future. Otherwise, you'll have bits of glitter stuck to your nails for weeks!
