A polished espresso-inspired manicure with OPI’s signature glossy lacquer finish.
✦ Classic OPI Lacquer Color
OPI NLLA04 Espresso Your Inner Self is OPI’s original Nail Lacquer formula in a 15 mL / 0.5 fl oz bottle. This retail lacquer delivers a smooth, glossy salon finish and applies with OPI’s Pro-Wide brush, designed to help cover the nail more evenly with controlled strokes.
Made for a classic at-home or salon manicure, this shade is part of OPI’s lacquer system rather than the UV/LED-cured GelColor formula. Use it with OPI Natural Nail Base Coat and OPI Top Coat for the brand’s recommended 3-step routine and up to 7 days of wear.
