A softly luminous pearl-white lacquer with a refined satin shimmer.
✦ Pearl Satin Color for Polished Nails
OPI Kyoto Pearl is a traditional Nail Lacquer in a shimmery white satin shade, known for its pearly, iridescent look. The finish feels clean, luminous, and elegant, making it a beautiful choice for classic manicures, soft bridal-inspired nails, or a refined everyday polish.
Presented in OPI’s 15 mL / 0.5 fl. oz. lacquer bottle, this polish features the brand’s Pro-Wide brush for broader, more even application. For best wear, OPI recommends using it as part of the 3-step system with base coat, two thin coats of color, and top coat.
✦ Why It Belongs in Your Nail Wardrobe

✦ Up to 7 Days of Wear OPI states the lacquer can wear up to 7 days when used with its recommended 3-step system.
✦ Smooth Glossy Result The manufacturer describes the finish as smooth and glossy, with a quickly drying lacquer feel.
