![]() ![]() Next up was Essie's Bon Boy-age on the left, with OPI’s Don’t Talk Bach To Me on the right. “It was on my right hand and I'm a righty, so I figured I should re-run the experiment.” “The Essie polish chipped almost immediately and continued to do so throughout the six days I had it on,” she says. On one hand - the left, to be exact - was OPI’s Sun, Sea, and Sand in My Pants. In my opinion, OPI is worth the extra 50 cents.A couple weeks ago, Lauren Caruso, Site Director of, well, this very site, blended her background in beauty with her interest in investigative journalism and embarked on an experiment for the ages: a two-tone manicure designed to reveal the real Essie vs. The coating application is smooth and almost flawless. OPI has such a wonderful color palette for its nail polishes that can be used in nail arts. But if I had to choose, I would choose OPI. OPI and Essie are both amazing brands and deciding between the two brands is almost heartbreaking. ![]() In my opinion, both are pricy but hey we have put that much into our nails right? OPI is a slightly more expensive than Essie with much of its polishes at 9 dollars. The price of the nail polish is very important considering that each bottle is almost the cost of a meal. Personally, I love the shade “Ballet Slippers”- a sheer pale pink that is super versatile for nail art designs. Essie is most famous for having great classic and neutral shades. They also have different collections such as Breast Cancer collection, but all of Essie’s collections can easily be found in store and online. Unlike OPI, Essie releases a collection every season separately. They also have specialized collections with various themes such as difference celebrities or movies, but these collections are prominent online and less frequently seen in drugstores. Collectively, OPI has unique shades with bold colors. One comes out in the beginning of fall as a fall/winter collection while the other comes out in spring as the spring/summer collection. OPI usually groups up two seasons and releases about two collections a year. Although this is perfect for those small-nailed people, it might be a little bit more time consuming for those of you who are not. And because Essie’s polish is very thin, it usually takes two coats to have a finished look. However, since the brush is small, it might take people with bigger nails more strokes to finish up one coat. ![]() Trust me when I say not you’re your nail but your whole finger might be painted.Įssie’s brush, on the other hand, is much skinnier and shorter which makes it easy to use for all nail sizes. Contrastingly, if you have small nails, OPI might swallow up your nails. If you have regular or bigger sized nails, OPI might be a great brand to go for because it might be easier to apply and take less time. OPI is known to have a very wide brush that can be positive or a negative. Here is a breakdown of how they differ, and which brand I ultimately think is better. However, two of the most popular nail polish brands are OPI and Essie, both available at drugstores and beauty salon stores. ![]() With hundreds of brands out there, it can be hard to choose which one is the best. Although nail tools such as dotting tools and brushes are also needed, the main source of the money draining product is of course the nail polish itself. But as my obsession got deeper and deeper, I realized with sadness that nail art costs a lot of money. These past few days I have become obsessed with DIY nail art. ![]()
