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.
- Up to 7 days of wear: the lacquer air-dries and lasts when used with OPI base and top.

Frequently Asked Questions
What color is OPI HPS04 Spread the Cherry?+
OPI HPS04 Spread the Cherry is a brown shade. It carries OPI code HPS04, so you can reorder the same shade by number.
How long do I cure each coat?+
Each coat of base, color and top cures in 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light. Keep coats thin and cap the free edge so the gel cures all the way through.
Is Spread the Cherry HEMA-free?+
Yes. OPI Intelli-Gel shades are formulated without added HEMA, and the formula is TPO-free and vegan. Other acrylates are still in the formula, so check the ingredient list if a client has a known sensitivity.
Which top coat do I need?+
Super Gloss Top Coat gives the highest shine and needs an IPA wipe after curing. Super Gloss No Wipe Top Coat skips the wipe, which suits chrome powder and nail art, and is slightly less glossy.
Do the gel and the lacquer share a code?+
Yes. Both bottles carry shade code HPS04, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure can be booked in the same color.
