OPI Nail Lacquer

i love OPI , i probably have around 15 opi nail polishes , i have had a few i didn't like but usually most colours are amazing! opi has a huge range of colours so no matter what the occasion , you are beyond to find the colour you want! they can be a bit pricey ! i usually buy mine from make up sales there $10 but even though there pricey there worth the money! They apply smooth and have a perfect brush and handle size! If you don't have any OPI in your nail polish collection you are missing out !!

Tips: Give one a try!

This is worth the money!!

This was my first nail polish that I had gotten through a whole bottle of. I have tried many other brands like Sally Hansen, Essie, Orly and a few others. This is the one polish that has never let me down!

First off I reckon this has better longevity than any of the other brands out there that I have tried so far, I worked with Orly for a couple of years at my old job and I also have purchased a couple of colours for self use. I found that the formular got thick quite quickly after opening the bottle and personally I find the brush way too small, had to do extra stokes which meant that you had to work quickly, which for some of you who are still trying to get you technique down pat, rushing is the last thing you want to do!

OPI have many different colours in many different finishes so Im sure you will find a colour if not two that your definately going to love!

I do recommend this polish to a lot of you out there as it does last a good amount of time on the nail, the formulation is nice and easy to work with and the size of the brush does all the work for you! What more could you ask for :)

Tips: Longevity of polish, I understand is a big thing for a few of you out there. First off I want to point out that it all begins on the condition that your nail is in.. If you have dry and/or brittle nails ie they peel, spilt or break easily this is going to affect how long the polish is going to last on your nail. I know this sounds so simple and easy to understand but I have experienced with a lot of clients that this simple fact is also easy to forget. So if this is a case that you deal with make sure you look after your nails and get them to a good condition before you waste your money either buying heaps of polish colours and them not lasting or getting your nails done at a Beauty Therapy clinic.

Once your nails are at a nice healthy condition then you are ready to paint! I will not stress enough that 4 coats really do make a difference! I have friends asking me all the time "Lesh! Why doesnt my nail polish last?" I say "How many coats have you applied" and they reply with "Umm maybe one colour and a top coat". This is were we go wrong. As a Beauty Therapist we are trained to apply four coats (1 base coat, 2 colour coats and 1 top coat) Simply this provides a smooth surface, a perfect colour payoff and locks everything in. When applying polish go from one pinky to the other pinky and you dont have to wait between each coat for the polish to dry, it is best that they all dry together as one complete coat.

It sounds simple enough but buffing on a regular basis (as well as applying cuticle oil) and right before you paint (no cuticle oil) is going to help the polish last, as with buffing you are, once again providing a smooth surface and there is less of a chance that flaky parts of the nail are going to lift while the polish is on.

Last but not least! Allow plenty of drying time!! In about 10 to 20 minutes they will be "touch" dry but not completey. Some do have to wait a couple of hours for it to be completey dry. A cool fan can help this process along ;)

Wow did I make this long enough for you all! I hope some of these tips have been helpful?! Please comment below if you have any other problems with your nails and polish application. Ill be more than happy to help :) xx

My Go To Polish

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 !

Rich, glossy colour

I rarely have manicured nails because of my work but I love to have brightly painted toes. OPI lacquers are a favourite choice for my pedicure. They have an exhaustive range of colours and the formulation is excellent. I find the brush firm enough for precise application, the lacquer flows evenly and two thin coats provides good coverage. Other cheaper brands I have found to be patchy after even three or four coats. OPI lacquer sets well and appears to wear well. I usually get two weeks out of a carefully applied pedicure. This is fairly costly nail varnish so not usually purchased on a whim. However it seems to have a long shelf life, I can come back to colours after a year unopened and they are as good as ever.

OPI - Beautiful Nails Always

I am an avid collector of O.P.I. polishes and have well over 50+ different colours. Painting my nails is a stress reliever, and I tend to paint them every 2-3 days. I hate seeing chipped nails, so as soon as they get chipped or start to look a bit drab then a new colour is quickly applied.

I love the selection of colours that OPI has - from bright and bold, to neutral and classic, to glitters, metallics, shatter and matte! They really have thought of colours to suit every personality.

Tips: Painting your nails to such a simple, cheap and effective way to brighten up an outfit, and to feel pretty and positive!

So Cute!

I absolutely adore this nail polish! The liquid sand it the cutest idea from OPI EVER! I like how this is a subtle colour so I can wear it to work and not get in trouble and in addition it only requires 2 light applications for full coverage so I don’t feel like I’m wasting any. It was also really easy to remove from my fingers when I slipped up. I enjoyed how well it went with any outfit. It is defiantly a staple nail polish in my little collection.

My Fave Nail Polish

I Love OPI nail polish! It lasts on my nails so much longer than any other brand. The range of colours is brilliant and I love how well it it goes on my nails. The price can be a bit steep but the nail polish lasts well, I have some bottles that are a few years old and still going strong.

Tips: For best results with OPI I always use a base and top coat.

Unpleased.

I have used this O.P.I colour for my nails, and it is the only O.P.I product I will use. I was not pleased at all, I had to apply 3 coats to get any decent coverage, And after 2 days It was already chipping away. I wasn't pleased at all

mmm

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

Good Quality

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,
