OPI nail lacquer, base coats and top coats
This is the brush-on side of the OPI range: traditional nail lacquer in the classic bottle, plus the base coats and top coats that go under and over it. Listings here are typed as nail polish, base coat and top coat rather than gel, so it is the section to stock for polish changes, pedicure finishes, and clients who want a color they can take off at home with remover instead of a soak-off.
Reading the shade names and codes
Titles here carry the original collection and year, then the shade name and its code - OPI Nail Polish - Garden Party 2007 - Funny Bunny NL, or OPI Nail Polish - Spring 1990 - Cajun Shrimp NL L64. The code is the reliable identifier when you are matching a bottle a client already owns, or replacing one that has gone missing from a tray. Archived releases sit in the same collection as current-line shades, so search the code before you assume a shade is gone.
Building the shelf around the color
Base and top coats are the bottles a color rack gets built around, because a manicure can use them whatever shade the client picks - Top Coat T30 is one line worth checking on every reorder rather than once a season. Buy shade families instead of one-offs: a working range of nudes and sheers, a few true reds, and whatever seasonal colors your menu leans on.
