What is OPI GELevate Builder Gel?

OPI GELevate 4-In-1 Builder Gel is a HEMA-free, TPO-free, vegan builder gel powered by OPI Intelli-Builder Technology. Soak-off removal, 21-day wear, complete cure in 30 seconds. Available in 7 shades (BIB 000 Clear plus 6 nudes) at DTK.

Is OPI Builder Gel HEMA-free?

Yes. OPI GELevate 4-In-1 Builder Gel is HEMA-free, TPO-free, and vegan. The formula complies with FDA standards of approved ingredients. Safe for sensitive skin clients and daily-use home studio techs.

What can OPI GELevate Builder be used for?

Four use cases (the '4-In-1' name): overlays, apex sculpting, tip adhesion for soft-gel extensions, and base for fills. One bottle replaces four separate products in the home studio overlay workflow.

Does DTK carry OPI soft gel tips?

DTK Nail Supply does not carry OPI-branded soft gel tips. For tip-extension services, DTK carries the LAVIS Soft Gel Tips catalog (Coffin, Square, Stiletto, Almond, Oval, Ballerina, Toe shapes) plus LAVIS Soft Gel Tip Adhesive and Focus UV Lamp for Soft Gel.

How does OPI GELevate compare to Lavis Builder Gel?

OPI GELevate and Lavis Builder Gel (BIAB) are both HEMA-free + TPO-free overlay systems. Lavis sits at approximately half the price point with comparable 28-day retention. Strong margin play for home studios running builder gel as an upsell without dropping wear quality.
