YES I AGREE. I tried different brands of color polish with the OPI Topcoat (essie, orly, la girl, China Glaze, popparazzi, OPI) and it bubbles even after a half hour of waiting for the first layer to dry! The bubbles show up after 5-10 minutes after application. And my nails are buffed and cleaned thoroughly. I was so surprised that OPI would sell such a thing. To be honest I bought the OPI topcoat along with two other OPI polishes together to try the OPI brand for the first time. Also, to my dismay, the OPI polishes that I bought recently dont apply smoothly and even gets slightly chunky as I slightly overlap in thin coats as I try to apply polish to my whole nail. I searched up "Why does OPI top coat suck" to see if anybody shared the same sentiment. Now I am here ... MoreYES I AGREE.

### Product Review: OPI "Green-Wich Village" 0.5 FL OZ **Rating:** ★★★★☆ (4/5 Stars) I never thought I’d have an opinion on nail polish, but OPI’s "Green-Wich Village" caught my attention the moment my wife first wore it. It’s not your typical shade—it’s a bold, leafy green that stands out in a sea of reds, pinks, and nudes. And let me tell you, it’s grown on me quite a bit. **Personal Insights:** At first, I wasn’t sure about this bright green color. It’s definitely not something you see every day. But after a while, I started to appreciate how unique and refreshing it is. My wife loves experimenting with colors, and this one seems to capture her playful side perfectly. Whether she’s wearing it with a casual outfit or something more dressed up, "Green-Wich Village" ... More### Product Review: OPI "Green-Wich Village" 0.5 FL OZ **Rating:** ★★★★☆ (4/5 Stars) I never thought I’d have an opinion on nail polish, but OPI’s "Green-Wich Village" caught my attention the moment my wife first wore it. It’s not your typical shade—it’s a bold, leafy green that stands out in a sea of reds, pinks, and nudes. And let me tell you, it’s grown on me quite a bit. **Personal Insights:** At first, I wasn’t sure about this bright green color. It’s definitely not something you see every day. But after a while, I started to appreciate how unique and refreshing it is. My wife loves experimenting with colors, and this one seems to capture her playful side perfectly. Whether she’s wearing it with a casual outfit or something more dressed up, "Green-Wich Village" adds a fun, unexpected twist to her look. I’ve noticed that this polish has a nice finish—it’s glossy without being over-the-top shiny, and it dries to a smooth, even coat. My wife mentioned that it’s pretty easy to apply, too, with no streaks or bubbles. It’s also surprisingly versatile for such a bold color. She’s worn it to everything from weekend outings to evening events, and it always seems to fit the occasion. **Pros:** - **Unique and Bold Color**: The vibrant green is eye-catching and adds a playful, modern touch to any outfit. - **High-Quality Finish**: It dries to a smooth, glossy finish that looks professionally done. - **Long-Lasting**: The polish stays vibrant and chip-free for days, even through busy activities. - **Easy Application**: The formula is easy to work with, offering an even application without streaks or bubbles. **Cons:** - **Not for Everyone**: The bold green color might not be to everyone’s taste, and it may not suit every occasion. - **Multiple Coats Required**: My wife needed a couple of coats to get the color just right, which adds a bit of extra time to the process. **How It Fits Into Our Daily Life:** "Green-Wich Village" has become a bit of a statement color in our lives. My wife doesn’t wear it every day, but when she does, it’s clear she’s in the mood for something fun and different. It’s perfect for weekends, vacations, or any time she wants to stand out a little. And while it’s definitely bold, it’s also surprisingly versatile—it works with more outfits than I would’ve expected. **Who Should Consider This Nail Polish?** If you’re someone who loves to make a statement with your nail color and aren’t afraid to try something bold, OPI’s "Green-Wich Village" could be a great addition to your collection. It’s perfect for anyone looking to add a pop of fun and color to their look, especially during the spring and summer months. Give it a go—you might be surprised at how much you love it!

I really like OPI Start To Finish. It’s a great all in one product, and it’s high quality. In fact, all products I’ve ever used from OPI have been high quality. OPI Start To Finish is a base coat, top coat and nail strengthener. I apply a coat before applying my nail polish and allow to fully dry. It actually dries pretty quickly. Then I apply my nail polish as usual, followed by a coat of Start To Finish when it is fully dry. It doesn’t strip any colour from my nail polish and leaves my nails with a lovely glossy finish. I do find that my nail polish lasts longer when I use this. I really like this product, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality all in one product.

Beware this will be ruined by using some cream's

After a full manicure of OPI base coat, nail polish and this top coat it looked good. However, the following day I applied Boots Soltan Sun Screen to my arms as was going in the sun. To my horror the Boots Soltan ate into the OPI top coat making it soft and sticky. Immediately washed hands but it was too late. The gloss surface was all dull, pitted and sticky. Had to remove the whole manicure. NOT GOOD. This is an expensive product and should perform better. I bought the 3 OPI products together as the pack so almost £40 spent. Plus a bit worrying what the Boots Soltan did to a nail polish!

Doesn't work after a few uses

I got this less than 6 months ago for Christmas and after only using it a few times to paint my nails it doesn't work anymore the formula in it is not as smooth as before and I no longer have black nail polish for when I want to paint my nails black or to do details in black on my nails. Some of the other OPI nail polishes I have are experiencing the same issue. I got the mini OPI collection and majority of these polishes do not work after only using them maybe 5 times total since having them. I've had other nail polishes work just fine that I've had for over a year. The price of OPI compared some others are a little pricey and for what? For it to stop working after a few uses? I would only recommend if you are okay with having to find a new black nail polish less ... MoreI got this less than 6 months ago for Christmas and after only using it a few times to paint my nails it doesn't work anymore the formula in it is not as smooth as before and I no longer have black nail polish for when I want to paint my nails black or to do details in black on my nails.

I would only recommend if you are okay with having to find a new black nail polish less than a month later because this black color is beautiful when it works. I still have not found a black nail polish that will work after a few uses and that I genuinely love. I love this color but I cannot recommend anyone buy this due to the product no longer being worth the money. And before anyone says it yes I store all my nail polishes in the correct conditions and places and none of my non OPI nail polishes have had this issue.

I would not buy Winsor & Newton Designer's gouache again.

The color looked dull and dirty when I swatched it next to the other gouache paints that I bought. The paint did not lay down as smooth as M. Graham, Schmincke or Daniel Smith. My brush just dragged on the paper. Winsor & Newton designer gouache paints have also become too pricey. I rather buy the artist grade gouaches from the other brands I mentioned, where I can get a full 15ml of higher quality paints. Winsor & Newton's tubes are pretty dinky compared to the others. I just put the tube away. M. Graham even offers more white gouache paint for you buck #sweepstakes.

Movie Buff is Best Color for Olive-Latino Skin

Arrived quickly and well packaged. This is a nice full-coverage cream color with a tiny hint of pink and a blue undertone, which is ideal if you have olive-colored or hispanic toned coloring. I have dark scars under one of my fingernails from hand surgery, and usually have to wear dark colored nail polish to hide the marks. Two coats of this color hides the scarring. This is one of the few light-colored nail polishes that looks nice on my olive-colored skin. I constantly get compliments on this polish. I can't believe OPI discontinued this color. OPI, please consider bringing back the Movie Buff color.

Not mixing well

I have the primary colors with green mixing set and Burnt Umber. The primary green separates when mixed with other colors and will separate after applied to the paper. I can only use it alone as primary green. The kit takes away the ability to mix some colors that use primary green. My Burnt Umber has granules that don't dissolve and when gouache is mixed with water and thinned down they float to the top. I tested it on a scratch paper and the granules speckle the paper. I thought that they would hopefully dissolve with some pressure on the paper and they didn't. These are pricy and considered to be one of the best gouache paints out there and I'm questioning that fact. Out of all my years using all types of paints, i have never in my life have had these issues. I ... MoreI have the primary colors with green mixing set and Burnt Umber.

The other paint colors are fantastic - I will call Blick to make sure it's not a quality issue. I hate to have to throw out my Burnt Umber but it's going into the trash - thank goodness I got it on sale during the big paint sale. I gave it two stars because the other colors in the set work excellent with no issues. I hesitate to recommend this brand of gouache, if I do I will have to say expect some mixing issues with primary green and don't be surprised if a color may have granules. Windsor & Newton I'm very shocked and disappointed.

Worst top coat I've ever owned; thin and makes the nails smudgy and cloudy, NOT GLOSSY

I never leave reviews, but I am so disappointed in this top coat. I wish I could get my money back for it. I have tried suggestions to get it to work, but nothing is helping. It's extremely thin and, no matter how much I let my nails dry, they always end up being not at all glossy and having a bizarre semi-matte smudgy effect that ruins my manicure. I've tried it so many times and have never gotten decent results; I've tried to work with it but no solutions have worked. My cheaper top coats are a million times better, so it's really disappointing that OPI (a more expensive and respected drugstore brand) is charging so much for a top coat that is AWFUL. The Essie quick dry topcoat and Holo Taco top coats have worked much better for me personally. I think Orly and ... MoreI never leave reviews, but I am so disappointed in this top coat.

The Essie quick dry topcoat and Holo Taco top coats have worked much better for me personally. I think Orly and other brands are used by nail salons. I don't want other people to waste your money like I did, so please go with a different and/or more affordable option. :) I was shocked, and still am, that a brand like OPI has a staple product that is this bad. I love all of their other nail polish, so it's really shocking that their top coat is so runny/thin and ineffective. It isn't sealing in anything and definitely is not glossy, it totally smudges up the top layer of your manicure and ruins the color (it's cloudy and not see through like a top coat should be). I included a photo to try to show what I mean by the cloudy smudging. I waited ages for it to dry and even used a dryer, and it still ended up being smudged after FULLY DRYING. Again, I have thoroughly tried to get this to work for months and it always loses it's glossiness quickly and ruins my manicure. I have tried everything and am saddened that nothing has helped and will have to get a new top coat from a different brand. It is NOT worth the price tag, please try a different top coat. I would return this asap if I still had the receipt info; as a broke college student, avoid making the same mistake and wasting your money. There are cheaper options that are fantastic! Good luck! :) I never leave reviews so this is quite long because I was appalled that this is still being sold, but hopefully my personal experience helps others as I have tried extensively to get this top coat to work.
