OPI - Nail Lacquer

OPI nail lacquer is the original air-dry polish the brand built its name on: brush, dry, go, with no lamp and no soak-off removal. C8 Nail Supply stocks it the way salons actually buy it, by the seasonal collection rather than one bottle at a time. Current and recent sets include the Fall '26 nail lacquer 12-piece vac tray display, the limited Hello Kitty summer collection in 12 pieces with display, Your Way Spring in 12 pieces with or without display, the Wicked holiday collection, Metallic Mega Mix, the Malibu collection, Fall Wonder, Jewel Be Bold in 15 pieces, and Power of Hue. Terribly Nice ships as 14 pieces with base, top and matte top included. For technicians who want range without committing to a theme, the Infinite Shine grab bag is 25 pre-selected colors in one box.

Collection sets are listed two ways. "With display" includes the branded retail stand for a color wall or front counter; "without display" is the same bottles at a lower price for salons that already have the fixture.

Browse the full OPI nail polish range, switch the same shades to OPI GelColor soak-off gel or OPI dip powder, compare against other air-dry brands in nail lacquer, and finish with a base and top coat.

Frequently Asked Questions — OPI Nail Lacquer

What is the difference between OPI nail lacquer and OPI GelColor?

Nail lacquer air-dries through solvent evaporation and comes off with ordinary polish remover. GelColor cures under a lamp into a hardened film and has to be soaked off with acetone. Lacquer is faster to change and faster to service; gel wears longer.

Do OPI lacquer and gel shades match?

Many OPI shades are produced in both lacquer and GelColor under the same name and code, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure can be finished in the same color. Check the shade code on each listing, since not every color is made in every format.

What does "with display" and "without display" mean on a collection set?

With display includes the OPI-branded retail stand the collection is designed to sit in, for a color wall or front counter. Without display is the identical set of bottles at a lower price, for salons that already have the fixture or only want the polish.

What is OPI Infinite Shine?

Infinite Shine is OPI's three-step air-dry system: a primer, the color, and a gloss top coat. It is applied without a lamp and is designed to wear closer to a gel finish than standard lacquer while still removing with regular polish remover.

Can I buy OPI nail lacquer wholesale from C8 Nail Supply?

Yes. C8 Nail Supply carries OPI nail lacquer in single bottles and full collection sets at retail and wholesale pricing for licensed nail technicians and salons, shipping nationwide from Garden Grove, California.
