✦ Classic OPI Color for a Polished Manicure
OPI Nail Lacquer in Strawberry Margarita NLM23 is a classic liquid nail polish in a bright strawberry pink crème shade. The glossy finish gives nails a clean, vibrant look, while the standard 15 mL / 0.5 fl. oz. OPI bottle makes it a staple choice for personal polish collections and salon color walls alike.
Made in the USA and designed with OPI’s Pro-Wide brush, this lacquer applies in smooth, even strokes. For best wear, use it as part of OPI’s 3-step system with Natural Nail Base Coat, two thin coats of lacquer, and OPI Top Coat.
✦ Why It Belongs in Your Nail Lineup

✦ Up to 7 Days of Wear OPI states the lacquer can wear up to 7 days when used with its base coat, lacquer, and top coat system.
✦ True-Color Look The formula is designed so the shade remains true during wear, keeping the manicure looking vibrant.
