OPI is a must have for anyone who loves painting their nails. They have a great colour range, and different types the only thing I would say is that I make sure to use a top coat because otherwise they don't last very long.

OPI Nail Lacquer Review
Reviews
I admit it... I am addicted to OPI! I can't get over the formula and colour range and everything about these nail polishes is amazing. I like the funky names each colour has and how the range is endless as they are continuing to produce collections :)
Tips: Drying time is short if you apply one layer, let it dry and then apply a second. Don't try to build up the colour in one go or it get's too thick and doesn't dry properly, causing it to rub, bump and smear onto things
This is s good quality range. I have a couple of bottles that are over 5 years old and they're still going strong! Long lasting colour, good coverage when applying and a fantastic colour range that keeps up with the times as well as keeping the classic colours. I paint my nails every week and have a lot of different brands and types of polish and this is definitely one of my preferred brands. A little more expensive than the other brands so I don't buy it often, but it's such good quality that I don't need to as it doesn't seem to degrade over time,
I think that most OPI polishes formulas are over-rated, there not that great and chip easily if you don't use one of their top coats, there base and top coats are amazing but I don't love there normal colours formulas, they do have an amazing colour selection though.
Tips: Try using the OPI top and base coats
OPI is great ! colours are gorgeous, and long lasting in comparison to most other brands which i love (far too easy to get lazy with nails). I do wish however the colours were slightly more opaque as you do need quite a few coats to get the gorgeous colour it looks like in the bottle !
Tips: if you like me and don't want to be painting nails all the time make sure you purchase the clear top coat and apply that after the nail polish, lasts so much longer ! love it !
As far as regular nail polishes go- OPI make the best. Their formula makes a thick polish that doesn't take all day to dry. In general I have quite weak nails, and this polish does tend to chip quite quickly- within a day or two. If you have strong nails, then I would recommend this product, otherwise, I'd tend to lean towards using something else like gel or shellac.
I love OPI nail polishes! I have tried other brands around the same price range and I would have to say OPI is the only one definatly worth the money! The colour range available is great! The formula is nice and thick enough not to need more than one coat and it doesn't take forever to dry. By by far favourite colour is My Private Jet, its a charcoal almost black with specks of suttle glitter in it. The only thing I will say about OPI is the staying power isn't great, I wouldn't say that they last any longer than a more affordable brand. But the finish coat of the OPI nail lacquers looks just like a salon job :)
I find OPI chips really easily I am a very active busy worker and I find after 2 days my nail varnish has chipped but this is due to alot of wear and tear in my job. I find the OPI sand range brilliant as it doesnt chip and I can go 3 weeks without repainting it. I love how easy it it to apply the coats, how good they look, the brilliant range of colours. Not a fan of the shatter range though and find them quite pricey in contrast to other brands
Tips: Use a base coat, 1 or 2 layers of lacquer and a top coat for best results
I tried this colour a few weeks ago and though normally not a blue fan I quite liked this colour. It is a more teal/duck egg colour , a great year round colour.
O.P.I is the first nail polish brand that I head to when looking for new colours as they have an amazing range with numerous shades of pinks, blues and of course glitter nail polish when your feeling up. On their own without any base or top coat they never last very long, they start to chip so it pays to get the two protector coats.
Tips: Make sure not to get too much polish on the brush, it is quite runny and a little goes a long way.
