How to Wear OPI Bare My Soul for a Modern Nude Manicure

Quick Answer

OPI Bare My Soul is a sheer pink polish that delivers a modern nude manicure in just a few coats. For a true nude look, apply it alone or pair with a white tip for a fresh French manicure.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

1. Prep Your Nails: Remove old polish, file nails to your desired shape, and push back cuticles. Clean nails help the polish adhere evenly. Skipping prep can cause uneven application or chipping.
2. Apply a Base Coat: Use a clear base coat to protect your nails and create a smooth surface. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to dry. Base coat prevents staining and extends manicure life.
3. Apply the First Coat of Bare My Soul: Apply a thin, even coat of OPI Bare My Soul. Start from the cuticle and brush toward the tip. Let it dry for 2 minutes. Thick coats may streak or take longer to dry.
4. Apply a Second Coat (Optional): For a slightly more opaque nude, apply a second thin coat. If you prefer a sheer look, one coat is enough. Two coats give a soft pink hue; one coat keeps it transparent.
5. Add a Top Coat: Seal the color with a clear top coat for shine and durability. This also helps the manicure last longer. Top coat prevents chipping and adds a glossy finish.
6. For a French Manicure: Add White Tips: After the base coat, apply a white polish like Alpine Snow NLL00 to the tips. Let it dry, then apply Bare My Soul over the entire nail. Let the white tip dry completely before adding the pink to avoid smudging.
