People who want a shimmering, dimensional blue manicure rather than a flat colour, applied at home or by a nail technician.

Choose this shade specifically for the shimmer effect — it reads as a sparkling, light-catching blue rather than a solid, matte-looking one, while still being part of OPI's regular lacquer formula and application system.

Push back cuticles and shape, file, and buff nails, then wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove oils. Shake the bottle, then apply one thin coat of OPI Base Coat, followed by two thin coats of colour, brushing along the free edge of the nail each time. Finish with OPI Top Coat, allowing about 1–2 minutes of drying time between coats. Used with the full 3-step system, OPI states the finish can last up to 7 days.

Pros

• Silver shimmer gives the blue visible sparkle and depth rather than a flat finish
• Builds from semi-sheer to full opacity in two coats
• Formulated without formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, camphor, and DBP, per OPI

Cons

• Shimmer finishes generally show brush strokes more easily than a smooth crème finish if applied unevenly
• Needs OPI's base coat and top coat (sold separately) to get the finish and wear time OPI describes
• Two colour coats plus top coat means a longer application than a one-coat polish
