"Makes Men Blush"
OPI Nail Polishes are made to last and they do!!
I recently just got into OPI nail polishes and aquired a few bottles to try out. Due to the expensive prices for a bottle, it took me a while before I really wanted to try them. I would always see them in salons or in other MUA members pictures, but had never tried them. I eventually got a few in swaps on MUA and bought some cheap ones from others. I also found a local asian spa supply store that were selling them plus other brands like China Glaze for like $2-3 a bottle (what a steal!!). Its too bad, I went back like a few months later, and they disappeared..haha..they were gone..so I guess I have to keep searching for another spa supplier.....
Review: OPI Nail Polish "Makes Men Blush"
Pros:
~ This bottle came in the new Pro Wide Brush applicator that really helps out when applying.
~ Perfect nude color with just a hint of pink- makes it look like you have natural but polished nails
~ I love how the bottle is shaped in a way you can hold instead of the usual tall nail polishes.
~ Color payoff is pretty good, takes just two coats to get my desired shade.
~ Lasts a long time. Depending on what you do daily, OPI nail polishes usually last longer than many brands out there.
Cons:
~ A little on the runny side. Its not a thick consistency so it may be harder to apply.
~ May not have the color payoff that is desired for many people
~ Expensive at about $6-$8 a bottle, depending on where you buy it.
Overall:
I would love to get more colors from OPI and especially when they come out with exciting collections. I think the most recent one from like OPI France. There are a few colors that I want to get from other collections, so when I do, I'll review them here. Other than the price, I would encourage everyone to get or try them, I do think that they are pretty well worth it.
Places to buy them:
Local Nail/Hair Salons
Asian spa suppliers/wholesale
Trade Secret
Nail Polish Diva
Hello-gorgeous
Bealls Outlet (i've seen like 2 bottles for like 6 dollars, so that's awesome too!)
SimplyBeautiful Tips:
~ Take advantage of the Pro Wide brush applicator.
~ Start on the side and work your way from one side to the other.
~ Don't apply too much at one time, it will look gloppy if done so.
~ Wait for it to dry some before applying second coat of polish.
~ Always use top coat to make the polish last twice as long.

Hi Mary! OPI is awesome! Sadly, I'm not such a big nail person :( but it's something I'm very very interested to explore! :) Thanks for sharing this post.
Thanks so much for the comment in my blog sweetie! And the gift? Wow! What can I say...I totally appreciate it. You are such a darling! My email is lootwagon@gmail.com :)
Best place to buy OPI is from online retailers like Head2ToeBeauty.com and 8ty8beauty.com (less than $5 a bottle). Transdesign.com also carries OPI, but at slightly higher prices than H2T and 8ty8.
