OPI F043 Route Beer Float - Brown, Orange - Intelli-Gel Combo - Super Base Coat, Super Gloss Top Coat

If a client wants soft brown shimmer, write down OPI F043 Route Beer Float. It comes from a ready Intelli-Gel set: color, base and top in one order. OPI's own note on the shade: A shimmery brown shade classic with vintage fizz. It belongs to the OPI's Most Requested collection.

What you get

• 1 x OPI F043 Route Beer Float Intelli-Gel gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
• 1 x OPI Super Base Base Coat, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
• 1 x OPI Super Gloss Top Coat, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)

Why techs stock it

• Stays put: Intelli-Gel thins under the brush and self-corrects once pressure releases, so strokes level out instead of running into the cuticle.
• Controlled pick-up: the Intelli-Brush has a rounded edge for the cuticle line and releases gel gradually.
• Up to 3 weeks of wear: base, two color coats and top each cure in 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light.
• HEMA-free, TPO-free and vegan: made without added HEMA and with no animal-derived ingredients.
• One order, whole service: base, color and top from the same system.

How to apply

1. Prep: push back cuticles, shape, buff the surface and clean with N.A.S. 99.
2. Mix: shake the bottle vigorously for 5 seconds before opening so the pigment is even.
3. Balance: one coat of Bond-Aid pH Balancing Agent.
4. Base: paint the free edge first, then a thin layer of Super Base Base Coat. Cure 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light.
5. Color: edge first, then a thin coat of OPI F043 Route Beer Float. Cure 30 seconds and repeat for a second coat.
6. Top: edge first, then a thin layer of Super Gloss Top Coat. Cure 30 seconds.
7. Finish: wipe the tacky layer with N.A.S. 99 and an Expert Touch wipe, then apply cuticle oil.

Who it suits

• Reach for it on cozy fall sets and neutral-loving clients.
• Clients also pick it for rich pedicures with a polished finish.
• Anyone who asks for soft brown shimmer by look, or for F043 by code.

Which option to choose

The combo suits a first Intelli-Gel order, since nothing else in the system is needed beyond prep and a lamp. Same shade, other formats: Route Beer Float Intelli-Gel, Route Beer Float gel and lacquer duo, Route Beer Float dipping powder.

Storing it

Store Route Beer Float upright, out of direct sun, and keep the lid tight between clients. Screen color can differ a little from the bottle, so check a swatch when an exact match matters.
