Powder Perfection Application & Removal

Using OPI Powder Perfection has three steps: Prep, Application, Removal. Follow the OPI Powder Perfection application & removal Step by Steps for best results and damage-free removal.

Step 1:

After the nails are properly prepped, separately pour a small amount of OPI Powder Perfection Colour Powder shade of choice and OPI Powder Perfection Clear Colour Set Powder into small, plastic cups.

Step 2:

Apply one coat of OPI Powder Perfection Base Coat to a single nail making sure to cover the entire surface of the nail.

Step 3:

Immediately dip the same nail at a 45-degree angle into OPI Powder Perfection Colour Powder. Tap off excess powder. Repeat on the other four nails of the same hand. Complete one nail at a time in order to prevent the OPI Powder Perfection Base Coat from drying too quickly.

Step 4:

Once complete with the entire hand (all 5 fingers), tap off excess powder. When dry to the touch, use a sanitised cosmetic brush to wipe off any remaining loose powder. Apply a second layer of OPI Powder Perfection Base Coat and Colour Powder. Wipe any remaining loose powder.

Step 5:

Apply one coat of OPI Powder Perfection Base Coat to each nail.

Step 6:

Before the Base Coat dries, dip each nail at a 45-degree angle into OPI Powder Perfection Clear Colour Set Powder. Tap off excess powder.

Step 7:

When dry to the touch, use a sanitised cosmetic brush to wipe off any remaining loose powder.

Step 8:

Apply one coat of OPI Powder Perfection Activator to all five nails, making sure to cover the entire surface of the nail. Allow to dry completely (around 4 minutes). While the OPI Powder Perfection Activator dries, complete Steps 2 through 8 on the other hand.

Step 9:

Go back to the first hand that you started working on and make sure the OPI Powder Perfection Activator is completely dry. Contour the surface if needed by gently filing with the EDGE 180 File. Buff with the FLEX 100/180 Buffer.

Step 10:

Smooth the surface if needed with a FLEX 220/280 Buffer. Use a light hand when filing and buffing to avoid filing through the OPI Powder Perfection Colour Powder layers. Use a cosmetic brush to remove excess powder and filing dust.

Step 11:

Apply one coat of OPI Powder Perfection Activator on all five nails of the same hand, making sure to cover the entire surface of each nail. Allow to dry completely (around 4 minutes). Repeat steps 9-10 on the other hand.

Step 12:

Apply one coat of OPI Powder Perfection Top Coat to each nail and allow at least 2 minutes to dry. Repeat this application on the other hand.

Step 13:

Apply a second coat of OPI Powder Perfection Top Coat to each nail. Allow 1- 2 minutes to dry. Repeat this application on the other hand. Dispose of any leftover OPI Powder Perfection Colour Powder and Clear Colour Set Powder.
