OPI Nail Lacquer is OPI's classic air-dry nail polish — no UV/LED lamp required. Delivers 5-7 days of wear with proper base and top coat. Same 240+ iconic OPI shades as GelColor, ideal for DIY clients and salons offering walk-in classic manicure service.
Nail Lacquer: air-dry classic polish, 5-7 day wear. Infinite Shine: long-wear lacquer system (base + color + top), 11 day wear, mimics gel shine without UV cure. Both no-lamp formulas. Infinite Shine costs ~$2 more but doubles wear time.
OPI Nail Lacquer delivers 5-7 days of wear when applied with proper base coat (Nail Envy or OPI Natural Nail Base) and top coat. Add a fresh top coat every 3-4 days to extend wear up to 10 days.
Not recommended. Nail Lacquer is solvent-based and can lift cured gel polish. For matching mani-pedi (gel hands + polish toes), apply both Lacquer manicure AND Lacquer pedicure, or use OPI's matching system in dedicated services.
