Opi Sheer Enchantment Nail Polish
From LoveToKnow Skincare
OPI Sheer Enchantment nail polish may be discontinued, but it's certainly not forgotten. In fact, the polish has a huge following and is coveted by many.
Description of OPI Sheer Enchantment Nail Polish
Some call it glittering silk in a bottle. Others describe it as sheer heaven. OPI describes it as "pink taffeta swirled in clouds.” No matter how it is described, this glittery coat is adored by all who try it. This polish is clear and has iridescent pink sparkles in it. It is part of the discontinued Sheer Romance Bridal Collection by OPI. This collection was introduced in 2003. The Sheer Romance Bridal Collection consisted of the following nail polish shades in addition to Sheer Enchantment:
- Rosy Future
- Altar Ego
- Cloud 9
- Honeymoon Sweet
- Kiss the Bride
The polish works great as a topcoat and once applied will leave your nails smooth and protected. As with all OPI nail polishes, this is a high-quality product that is long lasting.
How to Wear
This clear, iridescent glittery top coat can be worn as color alone or over another nail polish. It is also perfect to use for the base of a French manicure. Instead of basic pink with white tips, use Sheer Enchantment to give your manicure an unexpected glittery twist.
If you wear it on its own, it is a pale, almost invisible shade. Once the sunlight hits it, the pink glitter shows and gives off a nice, subtle surprise. If it is used over a light shade of polish, it will add depth. Used over dark shades, it will create a new dimension of color. The best part of this color is that you can use it to create a signature color all of your own.
Application Tips
The perfect manicure can be done at home as well as professionally at a salon. If you do one yourself and want to use Sheer Enchantment, then follow these steps for great results:
- Remove all polish from your nails.
- File nails to desired length and shape. You can use lotion to soften your hands as well.
- Wash off any residue left from filing and make sure that no lotion remains on your nails.
- Apply a basecoat, such as OPI Natural Nail Base Coat.
- Apply two coats of color.
- Be sure to allow polish to dry between coats.
- Apply a topcoat, such as Sheer Enchantment, to keep your manicure lasting long and to protect your color.
- To dry, use a fast drying spray or nail drops.
Where to Find
Bottles can still be found on eBay or at Forever XXII. You may even luck out and find a bottle at a local nail salon or beauty supply store’s clearance bin.
Final Thoughts
OPI Sheer Enchantment nail polish is extremely versatile. It is perfect for proms, weddings or any romantic event you choose. If you are lucky enough to already own it, good for you. If you happen to stumble across it in a bin, grab hold of this polish and don’t let go!
