OPI Nail Polish and Powder Perfection

Discover dipping powder colour

OPI Powder Perfection offers a quick-applying, odour-free alternative to traditional acrylic powder. The range includes creme colours with depth and shine. These powders are for professional use only, so choose them for a service carried out by a trained nail professional.

Two shades offer distinct takes on warm colour:

• Got The Blues For Red is a blue-toned red dipping powder with a gel-like shine. It dries almost instantly without a UV or LED light.
• A Good Man-darin is a zesty red-orange dipping powder with a creme finish. It offers depth of colour, high shine and weeks of wear.

Want something softer or darker? The range also includes colours named Do You Take Lei Awa, Big Apple Red, Black Onyx, Taupe-less Beach and Purple Palazzo Pant. Check each colour before choosing: a shade name alone does not tell you its finish or application needs.

Choose the right colour system

Nail colour comes in different formats. A dipping powder is not a bottle of lacquer, and a gel-like shine does not mean a powder needs a gel lamp. Match your colour to the application system you use rather than choosing by shade alone.

Browse nail powder for powder options and nail gel systems for gel products. Keep the application steps for each system separate. Follow the directions for your chosen powder and its companion products instead of mixing steps from another manicure method.

Plan your manicure essentials

A colour service needs more than a shade. Explore manicure tools, nail files and cleansers and removers to organise your work area. Select preparation and removal products that suit the system you use; not every item in a broad manicure category works with every powder.

For a red manicure, compare the blue-toned shade with the red-orange option. One leans cool, while the other brings a warmer burst of colour. Think about the finish you want as well as the colour family. A creme finish gives a different look from shimmer or glitter.
