The product story
ProStay Primer has a specific role in your manicure: preparing a foundation for Infinite Shine colour. It complements the colour application and helps you create your chosen nail look in a clear, step-by-step routine. It works alongside nail preparation, colour application and the finishing step, giving each stage a clear place in your routine.
Every step matters when creating a nail coating. Base coat goes on before colour to prepare the foundation, while top coat goes on afterwards as the final layer. Choosing products designed for the same polish system brings these steps together in a coordinated manicure routine.
Its purpose and finish determine how it fits into your manicure routine. It creates a foundation for Infinite Shine colour as the first layer of the three-step system. The 15 ml bottle sits alongside your other manicure products, ready to use when preparing nails for colour or completing your chosen manicure.

About OPI
OPI is an American nail colour and care brand with roots in Los Angeles and professional nail services. George Schaeffer and co-founder Suzi Weiss-Fischmann helped develop the business from a dental materials supplier into a nail product manufacturer. Its experience with acrylic nail systems was later complemented by nail colour and care products.
OPI offers different ranges for salon services and home manicures. When choosing a coating, distinguish between traditional nail polish, long-wear polish with a gel-like finish and professional gel polish. Their application, drying or curing, and removal methods differ.
What is OPI known for?
OPI is recognised for its varied colour palette, collections and distinctive shade names. Neutrals, pinks, reds and darker colours, alongside different shimmer effects, provide options for everyday manicures and special occasions. Your choice depends on both the colour and the type of coating you prefer.
Individual ranges feature technologies developed for different purposes. Reformulated Infinite Shine uses Pre-Cured Gel Technology, while the new generation of Nail Envy strengtheners features Tri-Flex Technology. These properties apply to specific formulas, so check the individual product description before purchasing.
