Glitter is beautiful. Glitter is annoying. I love/hate you, Glitter. OPI Glitter Off Natural Nail Base Coat is one of the latest releases by OPI and it promises to allow you to push that glitter right off of your nail.
Here’s how it goes. You paint on a thin coat and let it dry completely. At first it looks like you’re putting glue on your nails (and kinda smells that way). Once it’s completely dry it’ll be sheer. If you do too thick of a coat it’ll take forever to reach that clear point, so wait you must.
Next apply the desired glitter polish. For this test I’m using OPI Chasing Rainbows. I painted three coats of Chasing Rainbows and waited for it to dry. Gently I pushed at the polish and…..
…it came right off! Sign me up for at least 1,000 bottles. As you can see below there are still a few glitter remnants, but removal is nothing like what it used to be with glitter. Awesome!
Have you tried OPI Glitter Off?
Glitter Off will be available March 2014, at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, jcp Salons, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, ULTA and ulta.com for $9.00 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail.
i tried to buy this at ulta a couple of days ago and they told me it was a promotional item, not permanent item, and sold out a long time ago. was the sales girl mistaken?
I’ll try and find that out for you. I hope it wasn’t promotional!
Hi! My contact said that it IS Limited Edition but will be available through October. HTH!
How long did you wear the glitter before pushing it off? I found that after a few days, Glitter Off isn’t as easy to remove.

For that picture it was an hour, I wore some China Glaze glitter for a few days and it still came off easier, just in more of a sheet.
All the tests and reviews of Glitter Off I’ve seen are so quick — apply, let dry, peel — what about actually trying to wear the polish overnight or for a night out? Does it peel off in the middle of dinner or when you wash your hands? I made my own glue peel-off base coat and could never get more than 10 hours of wear time.
It’ll set after a while but I found that I was still able to peel it off but in more of a sheet. It still worked fine for me. Still much easier than dealing with the foil method!
