I had so much trouble painting my nails by myself before i tried OPI. The brush they use makes it so much EASIER to apply the product to your nails. I prefer their glossy colors, and tend to put a clear polish over any matte colors.

great range of colours for everyone. they last a long time on the nails and application is really easy. formulas are great, just a little pricey

my absolute fave nail polish. never comes off n there are tons of colors to choose from. las cabos coral for me most of the time, or anything baby pink or peach, and cherry red for my dog. also like the pro wide brush. i think they are the best.

I just can't hold myself back whenever i walk pass OPI counter. I really love the variety of colors OPI has to offer, and the funny names they give to their polishes. However, i find some colors are not so easy to apply, quite streaky, and dry a little longer than the others. Maybe its the brush, maybe its the formula... I dont know. But overall, OPI polishes glide easily on my nails and the colors come out just like what i expected. And yes, its pricey. In my country, its sold for IDR 185000 which is around USD 20.

I love OPI nail polish! It's my favorite nail polish. I like it because its amazing quality, and available in many colors, but its way less expensive than Essie nail polish.

OPI is my favorite brand of nail polish! They truly are the best out there due to their high quality and wide variety of colors to suit any age and/or any occasion.

I love OPI polishes, and I think that they largely live up to the hype. Most of the ones I own apply like butter, are nicely opaque and the colors are rich and complex. The Pro-wide brush is awesome as well. There have been a handful of misses (maybe three or four in all the ones I've tried, mainly sheer colors) but the vast majority are amazing on every level. I don't even mind paying full price for these, because I think they are very high quality. Some of my favorites are Flashbulb Fuchshia, Ogre the Top Blue, Black Cherry Chutney, Louvre Me Louvre Me Not, Siberian Nights, No Room for the Blues, and We'll Always Have Paris.

OPI has the best nail polishes. It's easy to use, glides on nicely, dries quickly, gives the color with only one stroke, and the lacquer stays liquid over time. It's very expensive but it is worth the money. You can keep it for a long time and you can really use it! I always messed up with nail polishes and ended up not using them at all except now that I have ones from OPI! Use your favorite color together with the OPI Drip Dry Nail Polish Quick Dry Lacquer. It makes life easier ;)

It goes on very smoothly, dries fast. It looks flawless, but it chips really easily so put on a top coat. The best nail polish I have ever used.

The colors are absolutely gorgeous, and come in a wide variety. However, the paint chips within at least (2) days for me with or without a top coat. Also have to put on at least 3 coats for some colors to become opaque.

Found a beautiful color yesterday....Malaga Wine. Great burgundy color. Opi has got to be one of the best polishes on the market. And all the colors are great. A little expensive, but worth the extra money.

OPI Nail Polish is my go-to Holy Grail nail polish line. They have a wide range of colors and finishes and release new collections quite often throughout the year. OPI can be found in professional nail salons, Trade Secret, and at many on-line stores. Older OPIs have a better formula than newer polishes as OPI went to B3F a few years ago so the polish is now glooper; however, this can be resolved with a little bit of polish thinner. They have also changed the brush from the older, thin version to the newer ProWide which works for some people but I find it a little awkward to use as I have smaller nails. Drying time is very quick with some bottles being quicker than others but I always use Seche Vite over the top which makes the polish rock hard in 20 minutes to half an hour. I have had problems with chipping at three or four days with some colors and not at all at six days with others. All in all, I love this line of polish and would definitely recommend it.

i forget what the color was called, but it was a black color.

and i know this is a well-known brand, so i was quite disappointed :(

it took around 4 or 5 coats just to get it ot ACTUALLY show up as black on my nails, and then after it dried all the way it didnt hold up well at all. chipped quite badly with just normal everyday activities.

i much prefer sally hansen nail polish-- that stuff doesnt chip for anything!

The quality is second to none. These polishes do not chip and they last a super long time, especially if you apply a top coat. Things from CG and Sally Hanson chip in a day for me, but this lasts so long. It's worth twice the price.

I have two reds from OPI, Blackberry and The Thrill of Brazil. I love them both, Blackberry more than the other, but what I really love is the staying power. This is the nail polish I've found to last the longest out of everything I've tried (granted, this is also the most expensive one, but I got a couple of China Glazes on sale the other time, and they were also good, but not as good. Maybe they were older? It was on sale, after all). I love the brushes and the way the polish applies.

Love the colour selection. Goes on smoothly and thick. With some colours, I only need one layer. With top coat, this lasts more than three weeks unchipped on my toes but four days on my fingers. Could be expensive but I found a salon in Coquitlam Ctr mall (Canadian) selling 2 for $7.50 each. I'm torn tho as I recently read the ingredients which include toluene and phtalates. I should throw them out... I've rated it high because of performance but buyer beware of dangerous ingredients!

The polish does not stay on longer than 2 days max for me. The tips of my nails always chip either with or without a top coat. It takes more than one coat to deliver the color correctly and if too much goes on, it becomes a gloopy mess.
I'm torn between repurchasing or not...so I chose yes based on the names...very original. But I have had better polishes (hint hint Wet 'n' Wild or NYC and those are only $1, compared to $8).

I love all the OPI colors. And the collections are always awesome. But my issue is the chipping. I can apply any base coat and any top coat, including no top or base coat and as soon as its dry its chipping. Within 2 days at most its just flaking off in huge sheets. If there is a color you can't find anywhere else totally get it, but for everyday wear there are many better polishes.
