OPI Infinite Shine Improved Formula I'm the Bossa Nova Now

OPI Infinite Shine Improved Formula I'm the Bossa Nova Now is a soft nude-pink creme nail polish, and the quietest shade in this Infinite Shine drop. OPI sets it directly against its own long-running neutral Don't Bossa Nova Me Around, saying that shade has met its match here - so this is the challenger to that classic rather than a reissue of it. The colour reads as a nude first, with a soft pink lean to it, which is how OPI describes the shade. It is opaque, not sheer, which is the useful part - two thin coats give an even, finished nude with none of the streaking a sheer nude can leave behind. The creme finish is flat, and glossy once topped. If you keep one neutral in rotation for work, interviews and weddings, this is built for that job.

Benefits

• An opaque soft nude creme rather than a sheer, so two thin coats cover evenly without the streaking sheer nudes can leave
• OPI describes the colour as a soft nude-pink, and its catalogue lists it as a soft nude and neutral creme
• Up to 11 days of gel-like wear and shine as part of the 3-step system
• Chip, scratch and stain resistant wear without booking a gel service
• Brushes on exactly like the nail polish you already know - no new technique to learn
• Vegan formula, with no animal-derived ingredients or by-products

How to Use

1. Start on a clean nail - trim and file to shape, buff the surface, then remove any dust or oil so the base coat can grip.
2. Start with 1 thin coat of OPI Infinite Shine Gel-like Base Coat, cap the free edge, and wait 1 to 2 minutes before colour.
3. Apply 2 thin coats of Infinite Shine I'm the Bossa Nova Now, capping the free edge on each coat, and leave 1 to 2 minutes between them.
4. Finish with 1 coat of OPI Infinite Shine Gel-like Top Coat, capping the free edge once more, then let nails dry.
5. A cleaner result comes from capping the free edge first, then starting each stroke at the centre of the nail and pulling outwards. Touch dry takes about 5 minutes, fully dry about 20.
6. Take it off with ordinary nail polish remover - there is no lamp, no cure and no soak-off involved.
