Chrome Clawz lays down as a cool gray, finishing with a glossy finish. Gray is a neutral that works year round and does not fight a client's outfit. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What this shade does on the nail
- Salon-standard formula: OPI GelColor has been the soak-off standard in salons since 2011, so techs already know how it behaves.
- Matched pair: the gel and the air-dry lacquer are mixed to the same shade, so a client can leave with the bottle.
- Three weeks of wear: a full OPI gel service holds its colour for about three weeks before a fill.
- Vegan formula: OPI formulas carry no animal-derived ingredients.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between OPI F024 Chrome Clawz in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Gel Polish Only is the gel bottle on its own, for salons that only run gel services. Nail Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Dipping Powder is the matching dip powder for a dip service in the same shade. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so OPI F024 Chrome Clawz covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
Storing the bottle
Keep OPI F024 Chrome Clawz upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.
OPI F024 Chrome Clawz is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and OPI in bulk.
