Pampered and Polished (New Nicole by OPI Nail Treatments!)

Nicole by OPI announces four new Top Coats & Treatments for 2014 – essentials for a perfect at-home manicure. Developed and inspired by OPI’s in-salon favorites, the line includes Oil to Go; 3-in-1 Base, Top Coat & Strengthener; Quick Dry Top Coat; and Matte Top Coat.

Packaged in a leak-proof tube, Oil to Go keeps cuticles soft and smooth on the go. 3-in-1 Base, Top Coat & Strengthener encompasses nail care must-haves in one convenient bottle. Matte Top Coat can be layered over any Nicole by OPI hue to instantly transform shiny finishes to matte. Quick Dry Top Coat reduces drying time and adds shine and protection.

“I recommend using Oil to Go daily for healthy nails,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “Top Coats are important for maintaining perfectly painted fingers and toes. Nicole fans can achieve high quality results without breaking the bank!”

You need need need a top coat to achieve great at-home manicure results!  Readers, you know I’m always checking out the latest from OPI and Nicole by OPI and because of this, I always keep an OPI top coat on hand for new product releases!  I joke that, with so many OPI lacquers in my beauty closet, the OPI Top Coat products are the one bottle that I have actually run out of and have to continually purchase more of.  With the generosity of OPI, I won’t have to buy a new lacquer for – oh say about thirty years.

Back to the Nail Treatments.  While a Top Coat is an essential, don’t disregard a good quality base coat.  While I don’t always use a base coat, I definitely to when using a darker lacquer on my nails (it helps avoid staining!)  If you paint your kid’s nails, the Quick Dry Top Coat is a must to have as well.  Basically, they’re all awesome and essential to your OPI collection at home.  Don’t forget the Oil To Go to keep your cuticles from looking like they’ve been shredded.  It’s winter in Canada, you know the look I’m talking about!

Nicole by OPI formulas are long-lasting, fast-drying, and salon-quality. These treatments are available starting January 2014 for $10.99 each at select Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart Canada, Jean Coutu, Loblaws and London Drug.
