disadvantages
Of course, like any brand of varnish, OPI is not without its drawbacks. Let's take a closer look at the negative aspects of the product.
- Price. The price for this category of products in the OPI company is not the lowest, so many women do not dare to purchase them. The cost of OPI nail varnishes starts from 300 to 1,000 rubles, and the option with gel - from 1,000 rubles.
- Persistence. Many girls noticed that OPI varnishes are not strong enough if you do not use an additional transparent coating. This is an unpleasant fact, because most often the client needs exactly the purchase of a permanent varnish, without additional costs.
- Counterfeits. Do not hide the fact that OPI nail polishes are often counterfeited, passing off such a product as the original. So people on a subconscious level can have a negative opinion about the product. It is important to pay attention to the composition of the varnish and the price in order to avoid cheating. The price of OPI products cannot be lower than 300 rubles (no discount), if you see a lower price, then this will be the first signal that the product is counterfeit.
A poor-quality sticker on the bottle, the letters erased on it can also indicate a dubious product.
Main rulers
According to OPI statistics, customers most often opt for two main lines: Nail Lacquer and Infinite Shine Gel Effect.
The Nail Lacquer series is a real extravaganza of flowers. New, unique shades appear:
- St. Mark`s the Spot - deep blue with sparkles;
- Nail Lacquer NL G28 Love Angel Music Baby - spectacular, gold color;
- Parler-vous OPI is a bold, dark violet shade.
In addition, the products from these lines have increased durability - now the varnish on the nails can last up to 4 days, and if you cover the nails with a transparent varnish base, the manicure will surely last 7 days.
The peculiarity of the series is that its collections are updated twice a year, adding new shades to the palette. The series is complemented with 12 different colors at a time. It has been noticed more than once that many collections are represented by celebrities and famous brands. For example, especially for Christmas, OPI, in collaboration with Gwen Stefani, released Nail Lacquer Gwen Stefani Holiday, which can complement the festive look of any girl.
Varnishes from the Infinite Shine Gel Effect collection have become quite popular. Their main advantage is that you do not need to use an LED lamp to dry. The very name of the line speaks of the second feature - natural radiance.
OPI has achieved this effect with a unique formula that allows you to apply varnish in just one layer, while it looks and stays great.
Choice of shade
It is most convenient to select varnishes according to the season. In the summer, it is great to use these shades:
- My Solar Clock is Ticking;
