Setup & Application: Achieving a lasting OPI lacquer manicure is straightforward with the right steps. Always begin with clean, dry nails. The application process detailed in the 'Performance & Real-World Use' section outlines the full regimen, including the use of base and top coats.
Compatibility: For best results and guaranteed compatibility, always pair OPI Nail Lacquer with OPI Natural Nail Base Coat and OPI Top Coat. Using non-OPI products may affect wear time, finish, and overall performance.
Care: To maintain the quality of your OPI Nail Lacquer and prolong its shelf life:
- Store Upright: Keep the bottle standing upright to prevent leakage and drying out.
- Cool, Dry Place: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause the formula to thicken or separate.
- Keep Cap Tight: Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent air exposure, which can dry out the polish.
- Avoid Thinners (unless specified): While not explicitly mentioned for OPI, if polish thickens over time, use a dedicated nail lacquer thinner (not acetone) sparingly, if recommended for the brand, to restore consistency. However, this product info doesn't suggest it.
