opi liquid sand?

Anyone got any opinions? I'm intrigued... and hear mixed reviews. Some of the colours are really pretty and I enjoy me things.... But then they're kinda more expensive than what I usually buy and in fairly intolerant of textured polishes.
So basically yea what do people think of them? X

I have opi jinx and Tiffany case from the Bond girls collection and I absolutely love them! If you look around you can get them cheap I got mine from nail polish direct and they cost £7.99. If you don't like the texture you can always put a topcoat on but I think those 2 colours are amazing! I did see some in boots in the 17 that look similar to the opi for £2.99 but didn't buy them. Hope this helps x x x

Ah eight quid isn't quite so bad . I think the one of the few textured polishes I own is from 17...it's not bad actually, it's not as lumpy as some I've tried, the choice of colours is just a bit dull.
Will definitely check out polish direct Cheers . Xxx

I think if you use the code LIKE1 on nail polish direct you get £1 off if its still valid. Also I've just read TK maxx have them in as well for £7.99 x x x

Ah Cheers I'll try it. I've seen them in tkmaxx bit I was being indecisive and they've not had them in our local store since grr lol. Xxx

I love textured polishes but I've never tried the OPI liquid sands! I'll have to see what's in TK Maxx and see who I can convince to treat me  

Apparently the new BarryM textured glitters are very similar (princess collection I think) but only £3.99! Not out yet, but I've seen some reviews that say they're lovely, for anyone watching the purse strings! X

I can't wait for them! I love Barry M polishes so much (except the sequin ones!) I really hope they're nice! X

Ah good old Barry M. I'm always watching my purse strings lindsay but somehow I always seem to be looking the other way when polish is involved lol. X

Is the white one jinx? which ever one is the white liquid sand I would personally just buy the new Barry M from what I've seen

No jinx is the coral colour it's beautiful! I have 2 of the Barry m ones from march and I personally prefer the opi.

ahaha I'm way off. I didn't like the march ones at all. Then again I'm not big on texture, but this time Barry M seem to have gotten it right. Textures look a lot better with sparkle. Polly Polish has the new collection up

The White one is solitaire...I know this cos they finally had some back in tkmaxx. I can't say it would be my first colour choice but I kinda wanted to test it before placing an online order (that's my excuse anyway :p).
I have a confession: I kinda have a grudge against Barry M since I seem to be the only person in history who can't get on with their gellys lol. X

Haha! Why don't you like the Gellys?

Me too katie! I tried my SIL grapefruit. It took 4 coats and then refused to dry!!!

^^omg so glad it's not just me.... everyone always talks about how great the application is and I'm just thinking Huh? Lol.

Yeah tbh I love the colours of my gellys and they look great on, but they take loads of coats and take about a year to dry... No matter how long I leave them, I always end up with dents and smudges xx

I love the colours a lot... so it annoys me I lack the patience for them, I struggle waiting at the best of times lol. X

Everything I do has to be seche vited hahaha! Thats why I only own one Zoya all the other Zoya's I've tried hate SV. I think the colours are gorgeous, but not worth hassle.

I may have to bite the bullet and invest in sv....I'm staying to get better at being gentle and actually managing to apply top coat without smudging everything Haha. X

I haven't got the patience to just sit and wait for it to dry. Apparently when you apply it your not supposed to let the brush touch your nail, but I've always applied it thickly then spread it out. Not sure if that helps.
Your best off buying the refill and thinner. I went through 2 bottles before I got the big one for xmas. refill comes with a bottle too. Buy it off amazon wayyyyyy cheaper

Ooh I think I might look into that... I invested in sv a while back and it's great, but dang is it expensive! I'm trying to ration it lol!

First bottle I got off ebay for £6, then I was in a rush and got my second from Sallys for £10. With my refill I have refilled it 6 or more times, and I'm not even a quarter down. Pretty sure my partner picked mine up for £35 for the both refill and thinner.
My case coat is damn expensive too, but it lasts for months and months. Pay off is better and it works out cheaper than buying a sally hansen double duty every month.
I'm a big cheapo, and make random little splurges

Ooo Thanks for the tips... is definitely the price that has been putting me off, I get through so much damn top coat Haha. X

I love the Gelly's! Isn't it weird how the same polish can't work on everyone!
