Advantages: Great choice of colours Disadvantages: Not sold in many shops
I had heard lots of recommendations for OPI Nail Lacquers, so when I noticed that my local Boots sold them (by the instore nail bar), and that they were reduced to half price (I got them for £4 each, which was a great deal!), I grabbed a load of them! I should point out that they were reduced because the nail bar was closing down and they wanted to get rid of some stock.
OPI have most amazing range of colours to choose from - it took me a long time to pick out the ones I chose. I only wanted a couple, but I couldn't decide between all the gorgeous colours, and as they were on offer I thought I'd treat myself to a few more! They have every colour imaginable; they sell around 10 shades of each of the following colours: neutral tones, rose tones, red tones, purple tones, pink tones, peach tones, orange tones, mauve tones, earth tones ...
Advantages: Bold colour,only needs one coat,easy to apply Disadvantages: Quite expensive, hard to find in shops
I decided to buy this nail varnish after having a disaster on holiday where I dropped my full bottle of Jessica coral nail varnish on the villa floor spilling the entire contents over my leg and the floor! : (
I liked the Jessica colour but I wanted something more orange?after searching the whole Jessica range and not finding anything I tried the Opi nail varnishes and found the 'Atomic Orange' colour, which looked bright orange! I wouldn't have had the next idea about where to find Opi nail varnishes, other than beauty salons which was where I had first noticed the brand. So rather than buying off the official site I tried ebay and found the right colour on there for £6 inc postage, which seemed a lot cheaper that anywhere else.

The cost of a No7 Stay Perfect Lip Lacquer is £9.95. Definitely mid- higher end price wise in my opinion. As I did with this product, you can quite probably pick it up on some kind of offer, No7 seem to be permanently on one or another.

If you peel back the bar code on this product you will find instructions for application. This advises you to:
" First apply a thin layer of colour and allow to dry, then brush on the gloss for comfort and shine. Reapply as desired".
So applying it isn't rocket science and pretty easy to do. The lip colour dry's in a couple of seconds so with a dash of gloss your away.
However wearing it I wasn't impressed at all, for quite a few reasons. I'd worn this a few times before I was ready to review it, but tonight to prepare for this review decided to ...
