OPI is a professional brand so you should find it easier to apply and longer lasting, however the price difference is massive.

I use both and I honestly don't see a huge difference. The Salon Pro range from Rimmel is really excellent. Much bigger colour range with OPI but if you see a Rimmel colour you like, I would say go for it. Its less than half the price of OPI

I find rimmel really good. I have a mix of all kinds of brands but do really rate the rimmel ones for price

Rommel here too.
Have both, use Rimmel more often though.

Rimmel here because its such good value but I think the range of colours is better at OPI.

missmartha · 23/06/2014 11:25

Rimmel is cheaper and does a reasonable range of colours, but there isn't enough pigment in the polish and you have to give your nails several coats to get the colour right.

Opi for classic shades that you'll wear again and again. Rimmel for the others.

Opi without a doubt, lasts longer, good finish and only needs two coats.

I much prefer Rimmel to opi which doesn't last and separates and gets gunky in the bottle very quickly. Rimmel salon pro is great, fantastic flat brush and lovely formula. Shove some no 7 top coat on top and it lasts ages. I'm always disappointed with opi.
