Nail Lacquer is typically more durable than traditional nail polish formulas and is usually slightly thicker comparably which allows it to be more chip resistant. In general, Nail Lacquers are solvent-based coatings that contain pigment and are applied to nails using a brush. Nail Lacquers do not require curing in a lamp to dry. OPI Nail Lacquer is a fast-drying formula that provides up to 7 days of wear and is available in 200+ unique shades.
Proper application is key to making nail polish last, be sure to start with properly prepped nails and apply 1 coat of base coat before color application to help extend wear. OPI Natural Nail Base Coat is our classic foundation, it helps to extend wear and prevents staining and yellowing from occurring. Looking for added strength too? Weak nails are no match for OPI Natural Nail Strengthener. Use in place of the Natural Nail Base Coat to give weak nails the extra strength they need.
Always follow proper application steps mentioned above when applying nail polish, applying too many coats can make dry time hard to manage and can cause premature wear to show more quickly. The optimal amount of layers of nail polish includes 1 coat of base coat, 2 coats of color, and 1 coat of top coat.
Be sure to wait until each layer of nail polish is dry before moving on to the next, approx. 1-2 minutes per layer is optimal. Not allowing proper dry time will cause air bubbles to be trapped between the layers, this includes the final step when applying top coat as well as the initial step when applying base coat. Proper dry time is key! To speed up the drying process when applying top coat, try our OPI RapiDry Top Coat or OPI Drip Dry quick drying drops to speed up the final step.
