Primark Opia Nail Laquer

Known for their budget priced, high fashion clothing, they have been raved about in magazines for ages now. But there has been a much more quiet revolution happening because of their products that has gone relatively unnoticed. I only realised this today when going through my make up when I realised - Primark are slowly but surely taking over my make-up bag. And it started out with the simple purchase of nail polish. Hidden away in the accessories section of the store are the stands for the make-up products. They have lipstick, blusher, eyeliner, shadows...well, they make the works essentially. But what first caught my eye was the twin pack of nail polishes. ...  Read the complete review

I love primark! It seems to have anything and everything! I'm the type of girl that likes to have matching toes and finger nails, so I get through a lot of nail varnish, I have massive vanity case loaded with different colours and brands and a lot from primark. I have tried their orange, blue, black, yellow, torquise and purple. Their black Is my favorite by miles, although that sounds pretty boring, I just think you can match it up with anything. Once you have applied, although you have to put a few coats on, its stays shinny, doesn't go dull like a lot of black's I've tried before and doesn't chip, which us girls no is very important! The brush is a meduim ...  Read the complete review

I didn't even know that Primark stocked make up until I started to read reviews about it on here, and as they always seemed to be very positive, I thought that I may as well give them a go, especially as most of the range comes in at £1. The Opia name is exclusive to Primark, and at first glance it is easy to see that this is a no singing, no dancing, and definitely no frills range; but that suits me fine as long as the products are of a decent quality. My first purchase in the range was a varnish, or "nail lacquer" as they like to call it. The varnish bottle comes sealed in a plastic bag; presumably so that it can be hung on a stand in ...  Read the complete review

I bought this product for £1 from Primark and I love it. It is certainly no frills but how many frills does one need with a nail varnish? I bought a deep red colour. It comes in a square shape bottle with rounded corners - see through glass with a soft black coloured rubbery feel lid. Its very attractive and looks very posh in my nail varnish box! It has 16ml of polish in it, with the back advising to apply two coats. The two coats iare necesary. The first coat goes on quite thin and can be see through in parts. However it drys quickly and by the time you have painted your tenth nail the first is dry and ready to recieve a second coat. The second ...  Read the complete review

I have written a few (to say the least lol) reviews on this site about Primark products. Some have been really great and some not so but all at about a quid mark and all have two things in common. That's that they are offer excellent value and are not rubbish even if not the best thing you have ever used. Which is why I decided I would try the nail polishes on offer. As a 34 year old woman I know what I like by now. I don't mind spending out a little over the top on make up if need be and I like nice packaging and big brand names. Like I don't go out with my mates carrying a Miss Sporty or Collection 2000 item (though I'm not saying I don't own a couple lol) ...  Read the complete review
