Designed specifically for salon use, this high-performance top coat is formulated to seal, protect, and intensify metallic chrome finishes with a dazzling mirror-like shine. Whether you’re aiming for sleek sophistication or bold, high-gloss brilliance, this top coat delivers a flawless finish that keeps clients coming back for more. The optimal shine lasts up to 7 days of wear.

Features & Benefits:

• Designed for Chrome Perfection: The OPI Chrome Effects Lacquer Top Coat is not your ordinary clear coat. It’s specially developed to work in harmony with OPI’s Chrome Effects Powders, helping to encapsulate the shimmering particles and lock in that striking chrome effect without dulling or distorting the colour underneath.
• High-Gloss Mirror Shine: Give every chrome manicure a dazzling, long-lasting gloss. This top coat leaves a smooth, ultra-reflective finish that enhances light play, colour vibrancy, and dimensional shine—ideal for statement nails or editorial looks.
• Protective Seal for Long Wear: Beyond beauty, this top coat acts as a durable shield, protecting the powder pigments beneath from daily wear, moisture, and chipping. Your clients will enjoy longer-lasting chrome brilliance between appointments.
• Fast-Drying Formula: Speed matters in a busy salon. OPI’s fast-drying lacquer formula ensures you can work efficiently without sacrificing quality. The polish dries quickly under ambient conditions—no UV or LED light needed.
• Compatible with OPI Lacquers: While optimised for chrome finishes, this top coat is also compatible with other OPI lacquer colours, making it a versatile addition to any professional nail technician’s kit.
• Smooth Application: Thanks to OPI’s ProWide™ brush, this top coat glides on effortlessly, offering even coverage with minimal effort. You’ll appreciate the smooth, streak-free application that enhances your artistry.

How to Use:

1. Prep & Polish: Begin with clean, manicured nails. Apply an OPI lacquer shade if desired. For best results, use OPI Chrome Effects Powders on a tacky lacquer layer or a lightly buffed nail surface.

2. Apply Chrome Powder: Gently rub OPI Chrome Effects Powder over the lacquer surface using an applicator or sponge. Ensure even coverage for a seamless chrome effect.

3. Seal with Lacquer Top Coat: Apply one coat of OPI Chrome Effects Lacquer Top Coat directly over the chrome powder. Use smooth, controlled strokes and avoid excessive brushing which could displace the powder.

4. Dry & Admire: Allow to air dry fully. The quick-dry formula means your client can be out the door—smudge-free—in just minutes.

FAQs:

1. Can this top coat be used over regular nail polish? Yes, it’s primarily formulated to seal chrome powders but is also compatible with OPI lacquer shades for added versatility and gloss.
2. Does it require a UV or LED lamp to cure? No – this is a lacquer-based formula and dries naturally in ambient air without the need for a lamp.
3. How long does the chrome effect last with this top coat? With proper application, the chrome finish can last up to 7–10 days with minimal fading or chipping.
4. Is this product suitable for gel polish? This top coat is designed for lacquer systems. For gel polish, use OPI Chrome Effects Gel Top Coat for optimal adhesion and durability.
5. Will the top coat dull the chrome finish? Not at all. It’s specifically engineered to preserve the vibrant, mirror-like finish of OPI Chrome Effects Powders.
6. Can I use a matte top coat over chrome? You can, but a matte finish will reduce the reflective effect. For full chrome brilliance, always finish with a high-gloss top coat like this one.
