Nail Artist Spotlight:
Leonobi Galvez
Introducing Leonobi Galvez aka @Luxurianailbar the genius behind our new #OPIPeru nail art looks. Inspired by the textiles and patterns from traditional Peruvian clothing and accessories, these will add a new dimension to your nails. Watch the video below to see the inspiration.
- Apply 1 coat of OPI Infinite Shine ProStay Primer.
- Section off the nail by diagonally applying 2 strips of zig zag stencils to the top and bottom part of the nail. Press firmly when applying around the sidewalls to prevent lacquer from flooding underneath the stencil.
- Apply 2 coats of OPI Infinite Shine My Solar Clock is Ticking to the first section, closest to the cuticle area. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second one.
- Apply 2 coats of OPI Infinite Shine Alpaca My Bags to the second section, in the center of the nail. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second one.
- Apply 2 coats of OPI Infinite Shine Yes My Condor Can-do! to the last section of the nail. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second one.
- While the second coat is still wet, carefully remove both stencils.
- If necessary, use a small clean up brush dipped in Expert Touch Lacquer Remover to clean around the cuticle area.
- Allow to dry, then apply 1 coat of OPI Infinite Shine ProStay Gloss.

Color for Change
One of the highlights during our travels was meeting with artisans from the Peruvian highlands. Here we learned so much about the country's iconic handmade fashion and textiles. Meeting these women we shared our love of color through nail lacquer, painting their nails and sharing a happy moment as a form of connection. Proof that color is a universal language.
