OPI Nail Lacquer Big Apple Red is a luscious, classic red nail polish that speaks to confidence. First released in the OPI New York City Collection, this legendary shade is inspired by the Big Apple itself: bold, classic and full of city energy, flattering on everyone and easy to wear all year. It comes in the original OPI Nail Lacquer formula, the top choice if you like to update your manicure every week.

Key Benefits

  • Classic true red: a confident, versatile red for every season.
  • Glossy shine: a smooth, glossy finish with brilliant shine.
  • Pro-Wide brush: the wide OPI brush lays down the color evenly for a flawless application.
  • Color that stays true: the shade keeps its tone during wear and resists smudging.
  • Dries quickly: less waiting between your manicure and the rest of your day.

Key Ingredients

Nitrocellulose, a film former, builds the color layer with a copolymer resin in a base of ethyl acetate and butyl acetate. Red lake pigments, with a touch of titanium dioxide, give Big Apple Red its rich, glossy red tone.

For longer wear, OPI recommends its three-step system: Natural Nail Base Coat, two coats of color, then OPI Top Coat. Discover the full OPI range of nail lacquers and nail care.

How to Use

Prep clean, dry nails and apply one coat of OPI Natural Nail Base Coat. Shake OPI Nail Lacquer Big Apple Red to mix the pigment and help avoid streaks, then apply two thin coats to each nail, brushing a little color along the free edge to cap the nail. Finish with OPI Top Coat, also along the free edge. For a manicure that feels dry in minutes, add one drop of OPI Drip Dry to each nail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What color is OPI Nail Lacquer Big Apple Red?

Big Apple Red is a luscious, classic red. OPI first released it as part of its New York City Collection and describes it as a legendary shade inspired by the Big Apple: confident, bold and versatile enough to wear all year round, with a glossy finish.

How many coats of OPI Nail Lacquer Big Apple Red should I apply?

Two thin coats, as OPI recommends for its nail lacquer. Start with one coat of Natural Nail Base Coat, apply two thin coats of Big Apple Red while brushing a little color along the free edge of each nail, then finish with OPI Top Coat along the free edge too.

Do I need a base coat with OPI Nail Lacquer Big Apple Red?

OPI recommends one. A base coat helps the color adhere better and wear longer, and it helps protect the natural nail from staining, which matters with a deep red. OPI's wear claim is based on its three-step system: base coat, two coats of color, then top coat.

Is OPI Nail Lacquer Big Apple Red the same as nail polish?

Basically, yes. OPI explains that nail lacquer is a form of nail polish, slightly thicker and more durable than traditional polish. Big Apple Red comes in the original OPI Nail Lacquer formula, which dries quickly and resists smudging.

How can I make OPI Nail Lacquer Big Apple Red dry faster?

Add one drop of OPI Drip Dry Lacquer Drying Drops to each nail after the top coat, as OPI suggests, for a manicure that feels dry to the touch in minutes. Thin coats also set faster than one thick layer, so take your time between coats.
