Application Tips:
- Prep the Nails
- Start with clean, dry nails free of any oils or residues. You can use a nail dehydrator or cleaner to ensure the nail surface is properly prepared.
- Gently file and shape the nails as desired, being careful not to over-file.
- Apply a Base Coat
- Before applying the color, use an OPI base coat to create a smooth, even surface for the lacquer.
- The base coat helps the color adhere better and last longer.
- Apply the Color
- Begin by placing a small amount of the Malaga Wine lacquer on the center of the nail.
- Using OPI's wide, flat brush, gently brush the polish outward toward the edges in smooth, even strokes.
- Apply 2-3 thin, even coats, allowing each coat to fully dry (about 1-2 minutes) before adding the next.
- Avoid over-brushing or globbing on too much polish, as this can lead to bubbling or uneven coverage.
- Finish with a Top Coat
- Seal in the color with an OPI top coat. This adds shine, strength, and extended wear.
- Apply the top coat in light, even strokes, being careful not to disturb the underlying color.
- Allow to Fully Dry
- Let the manicure dry completely, about 10-15 minutes, before doing any activities.
- Avoid water and other contact during this drying time for best results.
Following these application tips will help you achieve a salon-quality, long-lasting manicure with the OPI Malaga Wine nail lacquer.
- Shake the Polish Well
- Before applying, make sure to shake the bottle of Malaga Wine polish vigorously for at least 30 seconds. This helps mix and distribute the pigments evenly.
- Use the Proper Brush Technique
- Apply the polish using smooth, even brush strokes, working from the cuticle to the tip of the nail.
- Try to use just one or two brush strokes per nail, avoiding too much back-and-forth brushing.
- Keep the brush at a 45-degree angle to the nail as you apply the color.
- Avoid Thick, Goopy Application
- Apply the polish in thin, even coats rather than globbing on a thick layer.
- Thick application can lead to bubbling, uneven drying, and increased drying time.
- Cap the Free Edge
- After applying the color, run the brush along the very tip of the nail (the free edge).
- This helps seal in the color and prevent chipping at the tips.
- Clean Up the Cuticles
- Use a small clean-up brush dipped in nail polish remover to tidy up any color that gets on the skin around the nails.
- Keeping the cuticles clean gives a salon-perfect finish.
- Finish with a Top Coat
- Seal in the color with an OPI top coat, which helps create a smooth, glossy finish.
- Apply the top coat in thin, even strokes.
Following these tips will help you achieve an effortlessly smooth and even application with the OPI Malaga Wine nail polish.
