Have you guys expirienced different textures of OPI nail polishes? I love mine,but some get thick just after few uses,and some of them I have for over a year now and they are still perfect.

^ I did, some of the cream and jelly ones got thicker quicker.

Do you keep your nail varnishes in the dark and out of direct sunlight or heat? That can sometimes help them to stay fresh. If they become thick, a small drop of nail varnish remover in the bottle can solve the issue.

Sometimes my Essie nail varnish sort of separate? It can be frustrating, haha. I also find that whenever I take nail varnishes in my luggage on a airplane their texture gets absolutely ruined. Does anyone else have this issue?

While it's unfortunate, it's not unusual for nail polishes to become thick or separate. More than half of my collection has separated at some point... yet I just roll & shake the bottles until their consistent again.

For thickening occurrences, add nail polish thinner into the nail polish. Zoya, Seche, and Essie are among brands that make thinners.

Nope, thankfully I didn't have that problem.. Because if I did, I'd be totally damned.. Hahaha. I bought lots of polishes in London and my flight was around 16hours in total for one way. Anyway, do you always have that issue or is it a one time thing?

I will definately buy nail polish thinner on my next trip abroad,since I don't see that selling in my country,tough I was always negative about putting nail polish remover in my nail polishes 'cause I feel it's ruining my nails.

As far as thickness of nail polishes goes,I'm starting to think that maybe it has to do with the place they are produced.In my country for example,I never buy perfumes because they are not as good quality as when I buy them somewhere abroad,and maybe same thing goes for nail polishes.

I'm obssessed with nail polishes right now

I will need the entire collection. Even the gold which does not flatter my skin tone, but it is bloody gorgeous.

OPI often creates dupes of their own shades (AKA re-releasing shades from their previous collections under new names). Gotta love them.

OPI My Very First Knockwurst vs. Zoya Kennedy

I love nude-ish, pale pinks shades like these!

L-R: MAC Fatigues, Essie Sew Psyched, Chanel Khaki Vert, OPI Uh Oh Roll Down the Window and China Glaze Westside Warrior.

Rescue Beauty Lounge's Diddy Mow is similar to Essie Sew Psyched and Chanel Khaki Vert as well (see the similarities).


Thank you for posting all of the comparisons °Isa!

Anytime babe!

Is anyone here (preferable from EU because of the postal charge) interested in swapping?

 

[vivi27]

The james bond collection is really really nice in real!! I've bought On Her Majesty's Secret Service and You Only Live Twice. They're gorgeous!

 

[Gábor]

Could someone recommend me a shade like this which is available now? (Maybe a bit more high-end)

^^I assume this is Jade is the New Black? Hm, maybe Don't Mess With OPI? Or Essence SYF In the Jungle. It's not high end, but they look alike.
