Which brand of gel polish is best?

For salons, OPI GelColor and CND Shellac lead for shade range and wear; DND and LDS offer value. OPI GelColor delivers 2-3 weeks under a 48W+ LED lamp across 200+ shades. HEMA-sensitive clients should choose HEMA-free gels like OPI Intelli-Gel or Lavis. DTK stocks all of them.

Does OPI gel polish need a UV light?

Yes. OPI GelColor is a soak-off gel that cures under a UV/LED lamp — 30 seconds per coat under the OPI Studio LED, or 60 seconds under any 48W+ lamp. If you want no lamp, OPI Infinite Shine and Nail Lacquer are air-dry. DTK Nail Supply stocks both lamps and polish.

Why can't you buy OPI gel polish easily?

OPI GelColor is sold mainly through professional channels, not drugstores, because it requires LED curing and pro application. DTK Nail Supply offers wholesale pricing on OPI GelColor — create a free B2B account at dtknailsupply.com to access the full range.

How do I apply OPI GelColor correctly?

Prep the nail (push back cuticle, lightly buff, cleanse). Apply ProBase Coat and cure 30s. Apply 2 thin coats of GelColor, curing 30s each. Finish with ProStay Top Coat and cure 30s. Wipe the inhibition layer with alcohol if present.

How do I remove OPI GelColor?

File off the shine, wrap each nail with cotton soaked in pure acetone plus foil, and leave 10-15 minutes. Push off the softened gel with a cuticle pusher, then buff lightly. Apply OPI Nail Envy to support the recovering nail bed.

What are OPI GelColor's most popular shades?

Top sellers at DTK: Bubble Bath (sheer pink), Funny Bunny (white), Princesses Rule (pearl pink), Big Apple Red (classic red), Lincoln Park After Dark (deep purple-black), Cajun Shrimp (coral), and Strawberry Margarita (warm pink).
