OPI Nail Lacquer Madam President — Opaque Dark Red Crème, Chip-Resistant High-Shine Finish

This nail polish is part of OPI's Washington DC Collection and comes in the brand’s signature classic lacquer formula. Madam President offers a richly pigmented, crème finish designed to deliver smooth, even coverage with a professional-looking high shine. The formula is free of animal-derived ingredients and pairs with OPI’s recommended three-step system for extended wear.

What finish and shade can I expect from Madam President?

Madam President is an opaque dark red with a crème (cream) finish, providing a bold, uniform color without shimmer or glitter. The shade reads deep and sophisticated on most skin tones and layers evenly for full coverage in one to two coats.

• Opaque dark red crème pigment
• High-shine salon finish
• Even coverage without streaking
• One to two coats for full opacity

How long will the color last and resist chips?

When used with OPI’s three-step system (base coat, lacquer, top coat), this lacquer provides chip-resistant wear—commonly lasting several days of normal wear. The formula is engineered for long-lasting adhesion and surface durability, and the pro-wide brush helps avoid uneven application that can lead to premature chipping.

• Chip-resistant formula with multi-day wear when layered properly
• Pro-wide brush for smooth, even strokes
• Fast-drying properties for quicker wear time
• Best results with OPI base and top coats

How do I apply Madam President for salon-quality results at home?

Start with clean, dry nails and apply a thin base coat to protect nails and improve adhesion. Apply two thin layers of Madam President, allowing brief drying time between coats, then finish with a glossy top coat to enhance shine and longevity.

• Prep nails: file, buff, and remove oils
• Apply thin base coat, then two thin lacquer coats
• Seal with a top coat for extra gloss and durability
• Allow adequate drying between layers to avoid smudging
