People who want a solid, high-visibility yellow manicure rather than a shimmer or pastel tone.

Pick this shade when the goal is a flat, opaque yellow rather than anything sparkly or sheer — the crème finish is built to cover in two coats without the shimmer particles found in shades like Sky Blue's the Limit.

Push back cuticles and shape, file, and buff nails, then wipe with rubbing alcohol. Shake the bottle well, apply one thin coat of OPI Base Coat, then two thin coats of colour, brushing along the free edge each time. Finish with OPI Top Coat. Used with the full 3-step system, OPI states the finish can last up to 7 days.

Pros

• Opaque crème finish covers in fewer coats than a sheer or shimmer shade
• Bold, saturated yellow that reads as one solid tone
• Formulated without formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, camphor, and DBP, per OPI

Cons

• Bright, pale colours like this can show any application unevenness more than darker shades
• Needs OPI's base coat and top coat (sold separately) for the finish and wear time OPI describes
• As with any crème polish, chips are more visible against bare nail than on a shimmer finish
