Nail polish is nothing new.   We've always known what a great accessory nail polish or nail lacquer can be.  In fact, it actually dates back to about 3000 BC.  It makes the nails shiny and smooth, lends any number of lovely hues and shades to brighten the tips of our fingers and when chosen carefully, it protects the nails from excessive damage.  

The nails are similar to skin in that they can dry out, become brittle and even peel.  Consistent use of nail polish can help to fortify the nail and protect against breakage.
 
For years the women in my family were attached to one particular  brand which did a great job, but recently it did not seem to be lasting as well as it used to.  We decided to try something new and sprang for a more expensive brand from a beauty supply store.  I was ready to be critical because I don't necessarily believe we have to pay more in order to get value, but I have to  admit Opi Nail Lacquer really did the trick.
I tried it out with one coat of a clear  base coat followed by one coat of Opi Nail Lacquer in a pale pink color.  The following day the polish was still in tact and looked perfect.  After cooking dinner and pulling hot pizza out of the oven with the tips of my fingernails, I noticed the polish was still perfect.  With some other brands, I've noticed a tendency to melt on the edges if they come into contact with something hot from the oven.
 
Several days later, it was still looking good.  It was only after day 5 that I started noticing the edges peeling slightly.  After a week I was ready for a new manicure, and that was fine with me.  Two coats of polish is even more durable.  The lacquer applies smoothly without streaking or lumping, and the brush is easy to maneuver.  All in all, Opi did a great job.  I may have found a new favorite brand!
