Up to 7 days of wear. Vegan.** A 75% or more natural origin formula.** Helps nails look instantly healthier. Wear it under color or on its own to let natural nails shine through. *No animal-derived ingredients or by-products. **The percentage of natural origin for each OPI Nature Strong formula is calculated using ISO 16128-1. These guidelines outline the Technical Definitions and Criteria for calculating natural origin percentages. They are issued by ISO (International Standards Organization) who provides guidelines for the industry. The calculation takes into account the natural ingredient content as well as the derived natural ingredient content. Derived natural ingredients are cosmetic ingredients of greater than 50% natural origin, by molecular weight, by renewable carbon content, or by any other relevant methods, obtained through defined chemical and/or biological processes with the intention of chemical modification. Example: Bio-sourced butyl acetate is obtained by fermentation of sugar cane or cassava to create butanol which is then esterified by acetic acid to produce 100% bio-based butyl acetate. The butyl acetate is 100% bio-sourced and 100% natural origin.
1. Start with clean, prepped nails for proper adhesion. 2. Shake bottle well to mix formula evenly. 3. Start by painting the edge of your nail, then sweep a thin layer across the full nail. Let dry for 1-2 min before applying Nature Strong Lacquer.

Base Coat Nail Polish FAQs
Start with properly prepped nails and apply one thin, even layer. This gives your color something solid to stick to and helps prevent chipping, because nobody's out here trying to chip a fresh mani on day one.
True nail primer creates a cross-linking adhesion and is typically part of professional systems like acrylics, where the product actually bonds to the nail for extra sticking power. Base coat works differently: it preps and protects rather than bonding at that level.
Base coat builds the foundation for your color. Top coat seals it in and gives you that final finish. High-shine or
matte
, your call.
Ideally, yes. They work as a team to keep your shade true to color and help it last.
OPI Top Coat
or
Infinite Shine Gel-like Top Coat
are both solid places to start.
Let it dry completely first. A thin, even layer usually doesn't take long, but it varies depending on your system. Some may require curing, so check the product page for exact timing.
Reach for a strengthening formula, like
Nail Envy® Nail Strengthener
,
Start to Finish 3-in-1 Treatment
, or
Natural Nail Strengthener
.
No. Gel polish needs a gel-specific base coat that gets cured after application. Don't mix and match here.
Yes. It creates a protective layer between your natural nail and your color, keeping discoloration at bay.
