I've worn better!

OPI was what all the ladies and I'm sure a few lovely lads were talking about a while back.

Such a hype about this product that is long wearing, smooth applying, fast drying and no crying over chipped nails the next day.

Well with my experience and wear of many of the OPI polishes my opinion and results I got from the product are different to what was promised.

It takes about 3-4 minutes to dry and even after that you can still easily get a dent or scratch or print on it.

When I apply polish my two layers are thin but there was no thin applying with the OPI range it's thick and heavy.

Even with a top coat, being it a 'tough coat' or 'uv gloss' it chips within 2 days. Sad but true!

Oh and you should invest in a good nail polish thinner if you buy OPI polishes as it gets thick and gluggy in the bottle really quick.

Tips: Purchase a good quality nail polish thinner if you buy OPI as it gets thick and gluggy in the bottle really quick.

OPI red

A really nice color in the bottle and after a couple of coats your nails do look that color it just takes awhile. I find that OPI can take time to dry and this means i don't use it as much as i want but the color is lovely once you get there.

Tips: Make sure its totally dry before doing another coat

To buy or not to buy?

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...

Tips: I would recommend that users to put a decent amount of polish on and make sure your clear top coat is on properly as well...

Not for me

OPI gets so much hype, and every single girl I know raves about these. Except maybe me.

I always cringe when ladies tell me that they pay almost $26 for a bottle of nail polish. Call me cheap but there are many things I could put that money towards instead of spending it all on ONE bottle of nail polish.

My experience with these babies, hasn’t been the greatest either. I have about 10 bottles, purchased from the ASB show ground sales of course (they are almost 60% off the retail price) and I’ve found them all to be very short lasting, and chip really easily. I’m wondering if that has anything to do with the fact that I purchased them from the show grounds? Maybe they are expired ones? I’m not too sure.

I’m not one to take time in applying base coat and top coats, which I have heard from different people, either makes the polish easier to chip, or makes it last longer. Two very different opinions.

I do adore the range of colours available. There is SOO many and they keep it very fresh and interesting, but bringing out a new range every couple or so months. I usually use the OPI colours as a template and try to find the same but from a different brand, which sometimes - more often than not - proves to be difficult. OPI definitely produces the widest and best range of colours. However as I mentioned above, I would rather survive not having the colour, or having something similar, than paying 25 dollars for a bottle. That, to me seems ridiculous.

On a side note - A really good nail polish brand that I love and use is LA Girl. They are available in a wide variety of colours, shades, and collections. Also cheap and long lasting.

Candy on your nails

OPI is so fantastic and varied, there is a colour and texture for every occasion. It really is like having candy on your nails. We dress to our moods, our nails are the same. It last pretty well. I have always been very happy with my OPI and never bored

Tips: base coat, two coats of colour and a top coat!

Stays on

OPI is the renowned nail polish brand, however it lives up to its name.

After buying OPI I'm not likely to ever buy a cheap or different branded nailpolish ever again. I know I can trust OPI's quality.

They have a massive range of colours, styles and the number one thing is that they stay on for much longer and chip less frequently/quickly.

I find that if I use a top clear coat ontop of my OPI it can stay for over a week without chips.

OPI is constantly bringing out new colours and brands and ranges. They are on the exspensive side but are 100% worth it, I normally wait for sales to buy mine.

Tips: Base coat and top coat for best colour.

OPI

I love how there's so many different colours. The bottle is a decent size and defiantly lasts longer than most brands.

Best liquid sand

This was the first liquid sand that I bought and I really like it. One coat was so opaque, which shocked me as the others I tried were more sheer. Two coats was perfect. I love how forgiving liquid sands are, so they're easy to fix if you smudge it. I felt like it stayed on my nails quite well, I always use a base coat (Orly Bonder). If you want to maintain the matte-like finish, but without the texture, you can use a matte top coat.

Tips: Don't rub your nails to remove the colour. Break a cotton ball (or 2) into enough pieces to evenly cover each nail, dip it in nail polish remover, apply to each nail, wait a little, and slowly wipe it off.
