OPI is thicker than cheaper brands, which I don't like because when I get bored I peel it off. It feels a little heavy on my nails, also. I do however use their top coat and base coat as they are the best I've tried. I don't think it is overpriced, I just prefer the cheaper ones because they are often thinner and don't peel off in one big piece. 😝
It's really the top coat that matters . As long as you have a good quality top coat the nail polish wont chip. But It also depends on just your nails. I paint my nails everyother day and for a while I tried out different brands and different top coats and I've come to the conclusion as long as I have my sechi vite top coat I'm good no matter what brand is under it!
Opi is cheap compared to brands like butter London and julep but I think you get what you pay for. Opi is a little expensive but it's great nail polish and has a ton of colors to choose from

I've seen OPI nail polish at ULTA and I keep debating whither to get it or not! Do you like OPI? Do you think that it's overpriced?

If you wear nail polish often and know you'll use it, its not that expensive. (:

OPI polish isn't over priced. It's my favorite polish, that's all I own. :)

OPI is pretty decent in price and well worth it. Especially when you can catch them on sale at Ulta!

Definitely worth the price. A lot thicker formula than cheaper brands (ex. china glaze) and requires less coats.

I would never pay full price for it. I only pay $5 or $6 at Cosmo prof (on of the benefits of being a professional).
But $12 haha no.
I have probably 100 or more and love opi. My mom has been an esthatician for over 20 years and she won't use anything but.
