For anyone who wants a bright, playful pink shimmer polish — a fun seasonal shade rather than a everyday neutral. Suitable for home or salon manicures.

The shimmer particles in this finish are what set it apart from a standard flat pink — they catch and scatter light across the nail rather than giving one uniform tone, which is the actual visual difference from a crème polish in the same color family.

Prep nails: push back cuticles, trim and file to shape, buff the surface, and clean with isopropyl alcohol or a nail cleansing solution. Shake the bottle well. Apply Natural Nail Base Coat in a thin layer and let dry 1-2 minutes. Apply Nail Lacquer in two thin coats, letting each dry 1-2 minutes. Finish with Top Coat and let dry 1-2 minutes.

Pros:

• Shimmer finish adds visible dimension compared to a flat crème
• Up to seven days of wear when used with OPI's full base coat/top coat system
• Pro-Wide brush designed for even, one-stroke coverage

Cons:

• Shimmer finishes tend to show more visible wear and patchiness at the tip than crème finishes as they chip
• Like any standard lacquer, durability is shorter than a gel polish without a topcoat
