OPI Nail Lacquer Nail Polish

Why Nail Professionals Trust OPI Lacquer Nail Polish

OPI has earned its place as a salon favourite thanks to its reliable, professional-grade formula, rich colour payoff, and consistently smooth application. Nail techs trust OPI because the shades apply true to the bottle, dry quickly, and offer chip-resistant wear that helps manicures look fresh for longer.

OPI Nail Lacquers for Every Mood, Finish & Occasion

Match your manicure to your mood with OPI’s huge spectrum of creams, shimmers, sheers, and statement shades. At Diamond Nail Supplies, you’ll find beloved classics and limited-edition favourites, including:

OPI Nail Lacquer- HRQ09 It’s a Wonderful Spice

Bring instant festive glamour to fingertips with this warm metallic shade. Think rich gold–rose tones with a reflective shimmer that catches the light from every angle. Perfect for holiday parties, special events, or any time you want your manicure to feel a little extra.

OPI Nail Lacquer- Z16 Ski Teal We Drop

A deep yet wearable teal cream lacquer that gives a sophisticated pop of colour. The formula applies smoothly and dries to a glossy finish that flatters most skin tones. It’s a great choice when you want something more interesting than navy or black, without being overly bright.

OPI Nail Lacquer- W25 Belize It Or Not

Fun, bright, and endlessly flattering, this classic OPI shade sits between pink and red, often compared to the colour of ripe raspberries. It’s a go-to for summer trips, holidays, and pedicures that stand out while still looking timeless.

OPI Nail Lacquer- T52 Don’t Touch My Tutu!

A delicate, ballet-inspired soft white that builds from sheer to more coverage in a couple of coats. Ideal for bridal looks, French-inspired designs, or anyone who loves a floaty, airy white that looks elegant rather than harsh.

OPI Nail Lacquer- S001 Pink in Bio

A modern light pink crème from OPI’s Me, Myself and OPI collection. This shade feels fresh and digital-age chic; a soft, wearable pink that suits everyday manicures, office-friendly looks, and minimalist nail art. It’s opaque, smooth, and designed to be your “go with anything” pink.

With so many shades and finishes, you can easily build an OPI wardrobe that covers every client brief or personal style, from subtle everyday neutrals to bold, editorial colour.

OPI Nail Lacquer For Salon Results at Home and in the Salon

OPI Nail Lacquer works best as part of a simple, salon-tested routine that anyone can follow at home or in the salon.

Recommended application routine:

• Prep nails: gently push back cuticles, file to shape, buff lightly, and cleanse the nail plate.
• Apply one coat of OPI Natural Nail Base Coat to help colour grip and extend wear.
• Follow with two thin coats of your chosen OPI Nail Lacquer shade.
• Finish with an OPI Super Gloss top coat for glossy protection and extra chip resistance.

This classic 3-step system (base, colour, top) delivers a smooth, high-shine finish and up to 5 days of beautiful wear with proper prep.

You can use OPI lacquers on natural nails for everyday colour, pedicures, or as a base for layered nail art. The quick-drying formula and precision brush make them a great choice for busy salons and at-home users who want professional-looking results, without the learning curve of gel or builder systems.

Why Choose OPI Nail Lacquer Nail Polish from Diamond Nail Supplies?

Longer-Lasting Colour, Less Chipping

OPI’s classic lacquer formula is designed for up to 5 days of wear when used with OPI base and top coats, giving you more mileage out of each manicure. The chip-resistant finish helps colour stay smooth and glossy instead of dulling or flaking after just a couple of days.

Iconic Shades, Professional Quality

From timeless nudes to bold brights and special-collection shades, OPI offers hundreds of colours trusted by salon professionals worldwide. The highly pigmented formula means fewer coats for even, opaque coverage and helps lay down polish smoothly with minimal streaks.

Easy Application, Complete System

Diamond Nail Supplies stocks OPI lacquers alongside matching OPI gel polish, base and top coats, and removers, so you can create a cohesive, professional system in your kit. Whether you’re brushing on colour at your nail desk or at your bathroom vanity, these polishes apply quickly, dry fast, and come off easily with standard remover.

FAQs for OPI Nail Lacquer Nail Polish

What makes OPI Nail Lacquer different from regular nail polish?

OPI Nail Lacquer is formulated to be highly pigmented, smooth to apply, and chip-resistant, with up to 5 days of wear when used with a compatible base and top coat. It’s designed to deliver fashionable colours in every finish, from classic blue and purple to fun yellow, orange, green, brown, and grey, plus pearl and soft milky shades that suit any look. The OPI’s ProWide™ brush is designed to hug the nail for even coverage, helping both professionals and home users achieve a salon-like finish with less effort than many standard polishes.

How long does OPI Nail Lacquer last?

With proper nail prep plus OPI base coat and top coat, most manicures can last around a week while staying glossy and vibrant. Wear time will always depend on your lifestyle, nail condition, and how well you cap the free edge, but the formula is created to hold longer than many standard polishes. Pairing your manicure with a quick-dry product like OPI RapiDry or choosing a complementary shade from the OPI Infinite Shine range can further enhance shine and durability.

Do I need a base coat and top coat with OPI Nail Lacquer?

Yes, for the best results, you should use both. A base coat helps the polish adhere better and reduces staining, while a top coat locks in colour, adds shine, and improves chip resistance. OPI’s own base and top coats are designed to work seamlessly with the lacquer system for optimal wear, and you can also explore the OPI Infinite Shine system if you prefer a gel-like, long-wear finish while still using traditional lacquer-style application.

Is OPI Nail Lacquer safe for natural nails?

When used as directed and removed with standard nail polish remover, OPI Nail Lacquer is suitable for natural nails as part of a regular manicure routine. Many shades are formulated without certain traditional solvents such as formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP, and are intended for consistent use on natural nails, whether you love deep blue or purple tones, soft milky neutrals, or elegant pearl finishes, provided you keep prep and removal gentle.

How many coats of OPI Nail Lacquer should I apply?

Two thin coats are generally ideal. Thin layers dry more evenly and are less likely to chip or smudge than one thick coat. Sheer or jelly shades, including soft milky whites and delicate pearl tones, may need an extra coat to reach your preferred opacity, while highly pigmented creams and darker colours like navy blue, rich green, or deep brown often look perfect in just two layers.

How do I remove OPI Nail Lacquer properly?

Soak a lint-free pad in nail polish remover and hold it over each nail for a few seconds to soften the lacquer, then wipe away in one direction. Avoid aggressive scraping or peeling, as that can damage the nail surface. For darker or more pigmented shades, such as intense blue, purple, or grey, a second pass with remover ensures a clean, stain-free finish so your nails are ready for your next colour.

Can I use OPI Nail Lacquer alongside gel services?

Yes. Many techs use OPI lacquer for pedicures while offering gel on hands, or as an overlay for quick colour changes between full gel sets. You can also match or coordinate with OPI GelColor, OPI Infinite Shine, and dip systems, thanks to many shades being available across multiple OPI ranges, making it easy to create cohesive looks from fingers to toes.

How soon will I see results from switching to OPI Nail Lacquer?

You’ll notice the difference instantly in how the polish applies and how your finished manicure looks – smoother, more saturated colour with a glossy finish that showcases everything from bold blue and purple tones to subtle milky or pearl shades. Over the course of a week, you’ll also see the benefit of chip-resistant wear, especially when you follow the recommended base–colour–top routine and simple nail care habits. You can start exploring the full list of OPI Nail Lacquer and Infinite Shine colours online at our store, and if it’s your first order, it’s a great way to build a versatile collection of fashionable colours you’ll reach for again and again.
