I heard Chanel is good, but Opi is probably plenty good for me.

Um, okay. Well, that's interesting.

I'll try not to get preggie while applying the Opi.

I do not love Sally Hansen. Tried at least four different kinds and haven't liked any of them. They chip and wear off quickly and the stuff is gummy to apply. Thumbs down from me.

The best nail polish I have ever met is Jafra. Sadly Jafra is one of those Avon type things that are distributed by home sales people and not available retail. I haven't found a Jafra rep where I live. But their nail polish is the best stuff ever. Deep pigment, lasts for weeks, beautiful gloss, absolutely my top fave. If you ever find a Jafra rep, buy some.

I think Opi is my second favorite to Jafra.

I just did a web search on Jafra and found a rep locator for you area. Had you tried that? I found it all interesting, getting ideas for my wife.

Did you try this link? Can this help you to find a rep in your area? Just wanting to be helpful.

Opi for me. If you have a JC Penney salon near you, keep an eye--they have Opi on sale a couple times a year at half price with "last season's" colors.

Pretty much anything with a chemical in it will contain the same disclaimer.

I have tried Sally Hansen products a few times and just don't like their polishes. For me it's worth it to spend the extra money on OPI brand of nail polish. It has the best colors, most selection and I find the color stays on pretty well. I'm pretty hard on my hands but my nails don't chip often.

Revlon Color Stay. Kinda pricey but it will say on w/o chipping for a week. So I use this before any vacation or trip.

I used to have awful nails... being a mom my hands are always in water so my nails were thin and dry. But OPI's Nail Envy is like magic stuff.... if you use it according to the directions on the package, your nails will be beautiful in no time. I never used to paint my nails because they were so pitiful, but now I just keep the Nail Envy on them and I get compliments all the time. They are almost as strong as the fake nails, but I love them more because they are mine. And it's way less $$. I really like OPI for toenails, too...

Follow Up: Tried Sally Hansen on the toenails the other night. Pigment wasn't as strong as OPI and didn't go on as smoothly. Will buy Opi next time.

P.S. Would anyone like to post a picture of their pedicure? I may try to later.
