OPI Nail Lacquer I'm Not Really a Waitress is a vivacious chianti red nail polish, a pink so deep that it reads almost red. Its pearly, opalescent coverage catches the light with a fine shimmer, for a rich, glamorous manicure. Made with Nail Lacquer, OPI's original nail polish formula, it gives a smooth, glossy finish with brilliant shine, and the color stays true as you wear it.

Key Benefits

  • Deep chianti red: a pink so deep it is almost red, with a pearly glow.
  • Opalescent coverage: a fine shimmer that brings light and depth to the nails.
  • Glossy finish: a smooth result with brilliant shine.
  • True color: the shade stays the same from the first day to the last.
  • Longer wear: up to seven days when used with OPI base coat and top coat.

Key Ingredients

Nitrocellulose forms the glossy film of the lacquer. Mica and iron oxides create the pearly, opalescent effect, while red lakes give the deep chianti red color.

Pair it with OPI Natural Nail Base Coat and OPI Top Coat for the full three-step system. Discover the full OPI range of nail polish and nail care.

OPI describes I'm Not Really a Waitress as a vivacious chianti red, a pink so deep that it is almost red. It has pearly, opalescent coverage with a fine shimmer, which gives the nails a rich, glowing look rather than a flat cream red.

How do I apply OPI I'm Not Really a Waitress?

How long does OPI I'm Not Really a Waitress last?

OPI states up to seven days of wear when I'm Not Really a Waitress is used with its three-step system: Natural Nail Base Coat, two coats of color and OPI Top Coat. Capping the free edge of the nail with both color and top coat helps the manicure last.

Is OPI I'm Not Really a Waitress a pearl finish?

Yes. OPI gives I'm Not Really a Waitress a pearly, opalescent coverage. The shimmer is fine and catches the light, and the finish stays smooth and glossy with brilliant shine once the top coat is applied. The color remains true during wear.

How do I make OPI I'm Not Really a Waitress dry faster?

After the top coat, add one drop of OPI Drip Dry Lacquer Drying Drops to each nail. OPI says the manicure is then dry to the touch in minutes. Applying thin coats of I'm Not Really a Waitress, rather than thick ones, also helps each layer set evenly.
