OPI GelColor is a professional 3-step soak-off gel polish system — ProBase Coat, Color, ProStay Top Coat — delivering chip-resistant high-shine wear for 2–3 weeks. Cured under UV/LED lamp, available in 200+ shades.
Prep nail (push back cuticle, lightly buff, cleanse). Apply ProBase Coat and cure 30s. Apply 2 thin coats of GelColor (cure 30s each). Finish with ProStay Top Coat (cure 30s). Wipe inhibition layer with alcohol if present.
