i have been a hairdresser/nail tech for the past ten years and  have just about every color OPI has come out with. The  problem i've been having with this product is all the changes. The company has taken out the formaldehyde and added a massive Pro wide brush...thats great if you have the fingernails of a line backer!  I have found that the polish dosn't go on as smoothly and dosn't last half as long as it used to(my hands are in water most of the day)!!!! With the recent price increase, Essie colors are looking better and better...so what if the don't have cute names...they have the staying power I need  and are much easier to apply.

In response to GSMommy's comment from Feb 20, 2008 at 11:27PM:

Amen to that! That was part of my review. Why would they discontinue a color that is so popular? When I went shopping for Hoodoo Voodoo the CSR at O.P.I. told me that it was a top seller but many salons were letting it go with the hopes of getting something better. I still love the brand because I just find the name itself gives me a little quicker picker upper after a busy day. I love telling people what color I'm wearing. The ladies at my church are always comparing colors. I'm also a fan of the Sally Hansen products.

I like the older OPI polishes but haven't used it in a while. Why would they change something that was working so well? *sigh*

I'm a nail tech too! I don't have the issues with the brush like you do or the staying power of them - but I've been SO dissapointed in the last two collections of colors! What happened! My clients used to rave over the new colors but these have not been good colors at all. I still love OPI but I wish they would quit discontinuing all of the popular classic colors everyone loves.
