    OPI nail polish is good! I like the colors they have and they apply very well. I think they are a little overpriced at about $10 a bottle. I'm not really sure I'm willing to spend that, unless I'm in love with the color I'm purchasing. But if you are willing to pay that much for nail polish, it's money well spent.

    I've heard all these great things about OPI, but had never used it before. A month or so ago I bought this really pretty light green color and rushed home to try it out. I was so disappointed. It looked great in the bottle, but on my nails it was just a really thin glaze. It was 6 coats just to get an actually green color and I could still see nail through the polish. It didn't say top coat on the bottle. There weren't any instructions included saying to put down a base coat of opaque white first. This was theorectically colored nail polish, except it really really wasn't. And, of course, with that number of coats it chipped fast. I might give a dark color a try. I have had other brands where the light ones didn't coat but the dark ones were fine--but those were usually cheap brands. That's just not what I expect from something that's nearly $10 a bottle.

    Great nail polish with a stunning variety of colors to choose from. This nail polish lasts longer than other brands and is THE nail polish choice brand for the majority of the nail salons in the U.S. Quick tip - wash your hands with lots of soap or wipe your nails down with nail polish remover before applying - this takes off the excess oils on your nails, making your nail polish last MUCH longer!

    I am a handsome heterosexual male tattooed from head to toe. I have been polishing my toenails, which are by the way, rather long, for about 15 years. I love OPI polish!!! I have blue, purple, green and gold, but orange is my favorite. The looks I get are incredible!!! Robert

    An amazing nail polish, dries scary fast, doesn't chip or flake, looks professional, has cute names (i find there names sooooooooo adorable) but if you don't apply properly you can get really tacky streak lines, and opi costs a little too much, despite that it is the best nailpolish brand i have ever used, and is truly a life saved if you need your nails done fast. (It's not like other nail polishes, you don't really have to wonder if it is dry enough yet, because when its dry its dry, non of those werid marks will show up 2 minutes later. Plus it takes half a minute to dry.) -The Colours are vibrant and beutiful and i would recomend this to anyone who can afford it, and if you can't I would save up for it because it is the best nail polish you will probably ever buy.

    Right now I only own 1 O.P.I Nail Lacquer. It is Mad as a Hatter from the Alice In Wonderland collection. I really like that it dries fast, but the price is a little more than others that I would compare to it. Overall good product!

    OPI is absolutely fabulous! Their selection of colors is always outstanding and includes all of the standard colors plus whatever happens to be trendy this season. Out of all the different brands of polish I've tried, this one seems to pass the durability test better than the others. With OPI, I don't have to worry about my polish cracking or chipping off the second I bump into something or slightly bend a nail. My favorite thing about OPI is that the colors all seem to wear with a touch of class. Some brands look great in the bottle but have more of a "kid" looking color once they are applied. I have never found this to be the case with this polish, the colors are almost always true to what they look like in the bottle which makes selecting the perfect color much easier. Great nail polish, one of my favorites!

    Opi is great for the following reasons: 1. It comes in all the latest, most original fashion shades. 2. It dries quickly (completely dry and un-messup-able in just a few hours) 3. It never gets lumpy and naturally smooths out your brush strokes. 4. Almost all colors are completely opaque in just two coats. 5. It doesn't chip as quickly as some other brands do.

    I think OPI has to be the best in nail polish. Their colors are great and it stays on strong and doesn't chip or peel off right away. You also only have to do 1 to 2 coats to get a great solid color. My favorite color is the Big Apple Red. I love red toenails!!

    This is my favorite brand of nail polish because it dries quickly and stays on longer than all the other brands I’ve tried. It costs about $8 a bottle and can be found in department stores and beauty salons. The only drawback is the relatively narrow color scheme.

    I love OPI! I have 10 different colours and I love them all. OPI varnish has a great shine and finish which Ive not found in another polish. They always bring new colours out to match this seasons hottest looks. I found this website called www.chemistdirect.co.uk which knock a chunk of the RRP prices which is really cool. Even though OPI costs more than cheaper varnishes, the bottles are a large size and they lasts a long time and dont dry up.

    First off, I have to say that OPI has the BEST colors possible. The colors LAST FOREVER. However...being I am a gal with not a lot of time on my hands...I have to say that their polish (even in very thin coats) takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R to dry. You really can only apply a thin coat every 24 hours until full color saturation is achieved AND if you want it to dry thoroughly...I will buy it again....but I will give it a 2 because it takes so dang long to dry!

    Opi is the best. It dries fast, it stays long, no chipping, no streaks. It looks like salon done nails.

    OPI has great colors, especially the Russian Collection. Their wide-brush is the best for application, and they dont chip. OPI dries kindof slowly, but it is totally worth it, because it looks great!

    I love OPI Nail Lacquer! Their colors, especially Rosey Posey, La Paz-itively Hot, I'm Not Really A Waitress, and Bubble Bath, are so beautiful. It lasted 4 days before it started to chip, but it lasts longer than drugstore brands, which start chipping off in only 1 or 2 days. I've got to buy myself some of that Seche Vite top coat to make it last even longer. It is a little bit pricey, but it's worth it because it is a quality, professional polish that some salons in my area use. Thank you, OPI!

    It stays on for a long time and the colours look the same in the bottle as they do on your nails.

    The best nail polish that I have used so far. I love the colors and my changing of the garnet lasts for over a week without looking ratty. Fabulous!

    I treat myself to OPI nail polishes from time to time. Their rusts, corals, and peaches are simply gorgeous. OPI remains chip-free for at least a week, if not longer. I don't need to apply a topcoat either.

    Nail Envy Original is the best! I have long healthy nails. Everyone always asks me... are those your real nails? . . . and I reply gleefully ... Yes!

    OPI is a quality line of nail polish. The colors are unique and beautiful, and their names are funny! (ie: Beige-jing, My Auntie Drinks Chianti) The polish itself lasts long: on me, more than a week without chipping. Santiago Sangria, which can only be described as a bright, rosy fuschia, is my new favorite nail polish.

    OPI certainly is a quality nail polish, but I liked their Nicole line better! It has beautiful, hip colors like the Sinful brand, but the quality was definitely OPI!

    By far, the best nail polish out there. OPI has an unbelievable assortment of beautiful, unique colors, as well as the best quality polish. Yes, you will pay more than you would for the drug store brand, but if you want a good, lasting manicure, go for OPI. It doesn't chip (as long as you finish it off with a top coat), peel or crack. Most nail polishes start chipping on me the day after I put them on, Not OPI.

    There are three important factors (in my opinion) to consider when evaluating a nail polish. Color - OPI's decision makers on seasonal color schemes have fabulous taste. The array of colors are always tasteful and enhance a variety of skin tones. I always get compliments on my nail color. Health - OPI's chemical make-up is not harsh and does not dry out the nail. Quality - OPI colors stick to acryllic nails for up to three weeks without chipping or losing the luster. (real nails are more porous so the polish will eventually lift off if you put your hands in water)

    If you're going to take the time to do your nails, or have them done - make sure you do it right! OPI is the only way to go. It lasts forever (especially with Seche Vite top coat) no chipping or peeling. Also, I'd love a job coming up with their polish names - they always make me smile!

    This is one of the only nail polishes I would buy. It is sleek, smooth, high quality and rich. There are a multitude of colors. With a top coat, it is long lasting and flattering.

    I can only buy OPI at the hair salon I go to, and although it is pricey, it is definitely worth it! It has fun names for the polish such as "Black Magic Mountain" and "Cotton Candy Pink." Plus, it usually takes days to chip. The nail polishes don't separate as much as others over time as well-they are a quality product.

    Not the best but okay. They're five dollars a bottle which is okay, but compared to Wet & Wild it's too much. The bottle size is pretty big so that's cool. What I don't like is that their colors aren't different. They just look like everyone else's, so that is a bad thing.

    I think it's too expensive for nail polish. It's just as good as any other nail polish on the market. I like their top coat because it's glossy and dries quick.

    A great nail polish because it doesn't chip or fall of easily. It goes on without bubbles and has a great variety of colors.

    Combined with Seche Vite top coat, this lasts forever (for me). It is the only polish that lasts more than two days without chipping. I've actually gone for as long as 5 days without a chip(once) - a record for me. I use a computer at work and at home alot too.
