For Opening Ceremony’s preview, Naomi Yasuda created three unique, dramatic nail art designs. Utilizing OPI Nail Lacquers, she created two striped ombré looks in contrasting color schemes: one blue-green and one pink-red with black accents. She also created a daring scorpion design with a matte finish, using the pinky-peach shade from the red ombré nail look, OPI Nail Lacquer in Shh…It’s Top Secret, against a dark background color.


Get these looks:
Ombré Nail:
1. Apply one coat of OPI Natural Nail Base Coat.
2. Apply two coats of OPI Nail Lacquer in I Am What I Amethyst.
3. On a rectangular make-up sponge, paint lines using OPI Nail Lacquer in I Am What I Amethyst, First Lady of Nails and Russian Navy.
4. Stamp the sponge onto the nail softly. Repeat stamping a few times to achieve a perfect soft color fading so the colors end up mixing together, then repeat steps 2,3,4 but on a piece of wax paper. Once this is dry, finish with OPI Brilliant High-Shine Top Coat.
5. After wax paper is dry, gently remove the nail polish from the wax paper and cut it into small strips.
6. Add three strips to each nail with the center strip flipped. Then, seal the look with OPI Matte Top Coat.
