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.
- No lamp needed: the lacquer air-dries, with up to 7 days of wear on the OPI 3-step system.

Storing it
Keep Less is Norse capped and away from the lamp and from windows. Wipe the neck before closing so the cap does not stick. Screen color can differ a little from the bottle, so check a swatch when an exact match matters.
