Not easy. You need to get tooth picks to do just about every nail that has any kind of detail if you want to do it yourself. The best way to figure out ways to do your nails is to watch videos on youtube.
You can buy the press on nail polish strips, but they are time consuming. So time consuming that unless you have a special event and aren't very artistic, they are not worth it. They say they are easy, but I did not find them to be. I found them harder than if I just painted the design myself...seriously. If you do get the strips, cut them as you go from your largest nails to your smallest. Sometimes you can get five nails done with like two strips. Also, use a base coat and wait until it is not wet but not quite dry. Put a top coat on too so it really adheres to the nail. They will last you two weeks on your toes. They last pretty long on my fingers too, but only with a base and top coat.

Those aren't real people, they are models! She probably is wearing fake nails and I can guarantee she didn't do them herself. OPI goes on easy and smooth, it looks good no matter what

The tiger print effect is actually done with decals, which you can also find at Sephora. They're pretty easy to find on the site if your browse through the nails section - they've preiodically been on the front page.

Chic Print for nails would I think be the easiest way by sephora.

To me it appears as though they airbrushed some white on the tips. Most nail salons (at least in Miami do airbrushing for cheap). Take your polish and the picture, they should be able to re-create the look for you.

Yes, it's just their exclusive colors.

yes, seems to be.

Sephora by OPI has a good brush, but it is not like the pro-wide brush that the original OPI lacquer has.

No I wish the plastic part was shorter and we can have more control over it......Why not come out with a nail polish brush set where the brushes are from thin to thick and it comes with a polish correction pen I think 4 different sizes would be fantastic.... This lets us polish with more perhection and after we use the brush we clean it with nail polish remover or maybe something else you come up with to clean the brushes.....I have been wanting such an item for so long hard to control the brushes that come with the polish itself

Sephora by OPI does not have the OPI pro-wide brush you see in all current OPI polishes. I have read on several nail blogs in reviews that this brush on the Sephora by OPI polishes reminds them of the old OPI brush, pre-pro-wide. I don't find this brush at all a problem to work with even if I sometimes prefer the pro-wide one too. Hope this helps!

There are products out there that are nail polish thinners that you can add to old, clumpy, or thick nail polish to thin it out. These types of products are available in drugstores and beauty supply stores. They work pretty well if you follow the directions. I have also heard that adding a couple of drops of nail polish remover will thin the polish but I haven't tried that method.

I have heard that you can add a drop or two of nail polish remover to thin it out. I've never done it but more than one person has told me that trick.

You can buy polish thinner. Search online for it. Or you can drop a tiny drop of baby oil in the bottle and shake it up. Test the color. If it's still too gooey, add another drop of baby oil. Keep going until it's perfect!

Not all brands have a product to restore old clumpy dry nail polish. I can only think of one Zoya (Even though I think there is a couple of other brands that might have a similar product). Zoya has a product called Zoya Renew nail polish rejuvenator that totally renews old, dry clumpy nail polish. The product works with any nail polish brand as long as they are free of toluene, formaldehyde and DBP which OPI Sephora is. You can find Zoya products on their site and in select stores.

Pour a bit of nail polish remover directly into the polish bottle and shake; it will thin and smooth out the clumpy polish.

Don't shake the bottle! Roll it between the palms of your hands instead to avoid bubbles.

I shook mine before using it and it went on smooth...

I've heard don't shake- roll the polish instead to make sure it is mixed. Most colors don't need to be shook (shaken?) unless they have been sitting for a long time and the product has separated.

I turn the bottle upside down and roll between my hands, and then turn it right side up and do the same thing. Repeat if necessary. It mixes the contents without creating bubbles.

You are never supposed to shake nail polish! If the color needs to be 'mixed' turn the bottle upside down and gently roll between your palms until it is mixed.

With the What's Your Poison, all i did to make it stand out was start with a base coat of a magenta/red polish. You can totally wear it alone too though, i just think my way makes it pop more and lasts longer.
I did not find it goopy and it lasted almost 2 weeks, it was actually hard to take off. You may encounter that the glitter gets a little rough texture which i just added a clear top coat to it every few days and all was well with the world.

Hope I helped u some.

It's a little "gooey" but I think it has to be. It's not bad and I can get it on pretty thin while still having a good layer of color. I use two coats but you really only need one. It just depends how much sparkle you desire.

No, my experience is that the glitter nail polish is not gooey. The amount of coats depends if you want a heavier glitter look or not. I like one coat for daytime and two for when I go out at night. Two are more than enough because all the glitter covers most of the nail with two coats. I love shimmer and glitter and the only downside is that the glitter nail polish always takes longer to remove. Tip: dip a cotton pad in nail polish remover and keep it on the nail for 20 seconds or so before you rub it, it is easier that way.

You don't need more than two coats but you have to continually dip the brush in the bottle to make sure that you are getting the color and not the glitter only.

not gooey - 2 coats are all it takes

The ones I have used dried smooth on the surface. They looked textured, but were smooth to the touch.

Without a top coat, it does feel rough to the touch--however, it does not look rough--only when you feel it. A top coat takes care of the feeling regardless...and gives it a little more shine!

Very infrequently, it does. Use a generous amount of top coat to prevent this.

Yes, it does make the surface a bit rough; however you can put a coat of clear on top and that seems to take care of the roughness.

A little, but if you put a top coat over it, it's not a problem at all!

If your nails are long enough, it looks cool on just the tops...like you dipped your fingers in glitter!

I was never available through Sephora. These colors are made for Sephora by OPI. But yes it is still alvailable, just not through Sephora. It's a standard OPI color.

I'm not really a waitress is available in the regular OPI line.

"I'm Not Really A Waitress!" is an OPI range colour, not a Sephora by OPI colour. You can still buy it at stores that stock OPI.

I LOVED that color! Not sure if it's still available. You may find a reworking of that color in another Sephora by OPI color though.

Actually, "I´m not really a waitress" is a OPI shade, not a SEPHORA by OPI shade and at least in Europe (France, England, Spain, Portugal) you can still buy it, so I think OPI still has it. Try buying it on-line at www.OPI.com

This is a VERY shimmery and Glimmery color.

This was actually why I originally purchased this color. It was okay for marbling, but I did it with white and it lost a lot of its red hue as it mixed with the white. Additionally, it sunk in the water. It's a thin polish and comes out very quickly from the bottle. I won't be using it for marbling again.

I have not tried but, I have used this polish and it does seem to dry pretty quickly.

Sorry, I don't know anything about water-marbling, but the Sephora by OPI ones that I've tried have tended to be on the thicker side...

I have not done water marbeling, however I just finished a review on this product as I disliked how watery it is. I assure you it is quite watery and I could see a lot of the shades working for you.

I'm totally into one of the new OPI ones, "I'm With Brad." It's not black but it's a super dark brown that kind of shines in the light. I've gotten sooo many compliments on it, more than any other color! I also like this blue-green one "Mermaid to Order." I bet you could pull off black--I'm thinking of Whitney Port who's blonde, & I've seen her w/ black nails.

Black is kind of expected. I'd try a deep, dark reddish purple. You could go with a shimmer or creme finish.

Try 212-Sephora it's not quite black and has great irridescent sparkle which lifts the colour.

I don't like black black nails, so If you've got it, flaunt it was a nice alternative. Black/Gray polish with glitter.

I am fair skinned (if that helps any), not fair like nicole kidman, but fair enough that it's hard for me to find a good dark polish. Personally, I like Chanel Paradoxal, if you don't have $ to splurge on that, I would recommend somethig similar, possibly something by Essie (Sephora does not carry that brand, but amazon.com does). Also, for myself, if I do not like black nail polish, it looks terrible whenever I apply it, so I use a matte polish when I do black. I also like a charcoal grey on my nails, because it is dark enough, but not too dark (OPI makes Baby It's Coal Outside-which is on amazon.com too). Hope that helps!

I, being a pale gal also, love the following colors for the following seasons:

Spring: I LOVE the pastel colors. Any light pastel shade will look amazing, trust me. I love the light yellow, minty green, and light lavender purple. Also, the light blue one is amazing also. There are SO many shades of OPI polish, it's so easy to find these colors in the store because they are color categorized.

Summer: for the summer, I enjoy using brighter colors. They stand out and are perfect for sunny days:) I also recommend shades with added shimmer or sparkle. I suggest a nice bright coral color, bright Barbie pink, light orange, lime green, and sky blue. It's always fun to add your own shimmer with a nice sparkle or confetti top coat! I also love to wait until polish dries, add a strip of scotch tape, and add stripes or tips.

Autumn: for the fall, I love wearing sparkly dark orange.. It just matches the trees so nicely! I like nice maroon color too, and i also like a shiny dark grey color for this season. For Halloween, the darker shimmer green and sparkle black are so cute. I've made candy corn nails using strips of tape and white, orange and yellow polish.

Winter: I adore a shimmer silver, a shimmer gold, dark shimmer green, and of course, a darker red.. I put silver sparkles over the colors to make them shine! Usually dark colors work best for winter, because its already cold, so us pale girls are even paler during the winter. At least in the summer, we r able to get some type of tan, so the brighter colors are easier to wear!

I'm sorry, I don't list polish names because each person has colors that they prefer. I'm not going to list an exact name of a shade and you'll go buy it and hate it lol. But I hope this helped you, happy shopping!!!!:)

I am deathly pale and I work with teenagers, who, for better or worse, tell me (without my asking) how I look. I never got so many compliments as the week I wore Iris I Was Thinner, a lovely light purple color. It's a spring color, but I think you could get away with it in winter and summer too!

Experiment! You should never limit yourself to certain things unless you have allergies. You may want to try the not too dark pinks, browns, or reds. Sephora by OPI has an interactive tool that allows you to try on colors online to see how they will work with your skin tone.

I wear Who's Spinning Tonight a lot. It is purple. It is great for fall and winter. I have pale skin and it looks great on me. Try it out in the store to see if you like it. :)

For summer I think that a lime green or a coarl are good and winter go with a dark purple blue green or red. That is what I think. Just bright colours for summer and dark colours for winter. Hope this helped! :)
