OPI: What’s been your favourite thing about our new customisable OPI Your Way collection? 

Chantelle: Effortless glamour! I adore chrome nails but it can be an extra step in the salon and I know a lot of techs can find it a troublesome technique to master. With these incredible new shades, you can get a high shine, chrome-like finish in one simple step! And there are so many colour combinations you can choose from making these an investment you will use all year round and in years to come!

OPI: What’s your top Spring nail prediction?

Chantelle: It can't be Spring without flowers or lilacs! I adore a plain lilac nail or a lilac French tip, but chrome/glazed looks will still be a hit through 2024 so I am excited to see something like Sickeningly Sweet topped with Glazed'N'Amused or Suga Cookie. With florals, you can go as intricate or simple as you like but there is no denying that a flower adds a touch of spring to any manicure.

Shop Product Suga Cookie available to purchase in Nail Lacquer, GelColor gel nail polish (pro only).

OPI: Where do you get your nail art inspiration from? 

Chantelle: Everywhere! If I am ever in a 'creative funk' ironically I step away from social media, look at fashion, and go mooching around my local town centre in the shops to look for upcoming colour combinations or patterns, sometimes stepping away can be the best thing for your creativity and you come back ready to go!

OPI: What are your top Spring nail picks from our OPI Your Way collection? What are some custom combos you’d think would work nicely too?

Chantelle: I created a reel using Glazed n Amused over a French manicure and I didn't want to take it off... classic, timeless and elegant! I also love Buttafly, I think some people overlook lemon nail shades and they seriously should give it a try, again a beautiful way to give your French a spring twist, but also gorgeous as a full-coverage nail and works on so many nail shapes and lengths.
