I love OPI's bright and bold colors. Essie is a great brand for classic and conservative colors, but OPI is on top of the game in terms of trendy and fresh colors. Whether you are experimenting with new looks or trying to make a fashion statement, all of these colors are rich and vibrant and high quality. It goes on like a dream- smooth and evenly. The new brush is spectacular as well. Doesn't dry particularly quickly, but worth the wait. I can usually go 4-5 days with minimal chipping. I love it. May 23, 2008, 3:03 am

I used to love OPI nailpolish, then I learned their dirty little secret. Their products contain known carcinogens and neuro-toxins. I was completely shocked! I did not want to believe it . Please don't take my word for it! Go to the Environmental Working Groups website and click on the link to their skindeep database. You will be surprised to know that OPI makes some of the worlds most toxic nailpolish. May 29, 2008, 10:38 pm

I just tried the new OPI nail sticks which come in a number of brillant colors. I chose a midnight blue color and tried it on my toes first. You have the pump the button on the end of the stick to get the product to come out and then you apply. But I was not impressed with the width of the brush, nor the multiple applications of the product you have to use to get a good coat. It was very dull looking even though it is suppose to have a top coat mixed in with the color. I am going to try it one more time with a new color "I am outta here" and if I get the same results I am not going to use it again May 23, 2008, 1:18 am

The color selection is excellent, especially the matte shades. The pigment could be darker, since I like to layer 2 thin coats, and this sometimes doesn't give me enough coverage that I have to do 3 thin coats. Topped with a clear coat, this lasts me a week of wear. The longer wider brushes are much easier and quicker to paint with. The bottle shape is kind of slippery, I prefer square bottles for easier grip. The wide brush handle is nice and ergonomic though. The formula doesn't smell as strong as cheaper drug store brands do.

I fell completely for the deep, lustrous red of Opi's "An Affair in Red Square." And when my manicurist applied it with a generous spattering of other incomprehensible products, it lasted at least two weeks. However, when I applied the polish myself, I found it started peeling after less than 24 hours. And I'm really not dense when it comes to applying polish, I swear. However, I love the color so much that I'm willing to apply it solely for a big night and accept the fact that it will be chipped and horrid in the morning. November 29, 2007, 1:55 pm

My all-time favourite toenail polish, Opi Fiji Wiji Squeeze! The polish goes on nicely, smooths out so no ridge lines or brush marks, and has a great depth of colour, meaning the polish seems to be deeper and more lustrous than you would expect for the thickness of the coat. Nice packaging. The polish lasts forever on my toes although I do find it chips on my fingernails (but I'm not careful). It's more expensive than the drugstore brands but the quality is much better.

This is hands down the best nail polish there is to buy. I have tried many different kinds, and this is my favorite. I own over 100 of them. The formula is just right, not too streaky or thick, the pro-wide brush makes application easy, and OPI makes the perfect color for everyone. It is long lasting, and everything you could want in a polish. Definitely worth the extra money. April 23, 2008, 8:59 am

So, I wish I were getting my nails done, like, right this minute. I've noticed that many salons charge more for the OPI colors, but then, some things are just worth it. My favorites are the pinks, especially Bubble Bath. The colors last a long, long time. My hands may be getting older, but the beautiful OPI colors can distract me from that fact, maybe forever!

OPI is wel worth the pricetag. I rarely have this product chip within the first week of wear (by which time I've probably changed my nail colour already). I love the wide variety of colours available as well, and the names are really clever. Mauving to Manitoba, Aphrodite's Pink Nightie and Shanghai Shimmer are just a few shades that I like to wear often. February 15, 2008, 5:36 am
