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.

How to apply the gel

2. Mix: shake the bottle vigorously for 5 seconds before opening so the pigment is even.

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 F83 Polly Want A Lacquer. 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.
