Why techs stock it
- Self-correcting formula: the gel thins under brush pressure, then resets when you lift, so it stays where you place it with no chasing or flooding.
- Intelli-Brush: the rounded brush hugs the cuticle and feeds product slowly for controlled coverage.
- 30-second cure: each coat cures in 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light, with up to 3 weeks of wear as a full system.
- Formula: HEMA-free, TPO-free and vegan, with no animal-derived ingredients.
- Finish: Sheer finish that lets the natural nail show through.
