OPI Intelli 3-in-1 Matching Set - S072 Big Apple Energy (OPI Spring 2026)

OPI S072 Big Apple Energy, a bright scarlet shimmer, comes from the matching Intelli-Gel, Nail Lacquer and Powder Perfection trio. OPI's own note on the shade: "Big Apple Red®" strutted down Fifth Avenue so this shimmery red could own the spotlight. It belongs to the OPI Spring 2026 collection.

What you get

• 1 x OPI S072 Big Apple Energy Intelli-Gel gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
• 1 x OPI S072 Big Apple Energy nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
• 1 x OPI S072 Big Apple Energy Powder Perfection dipping powder, 1.5 oz jar

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.

How to apply the gel

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 S072 Big Apple Energy. 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.
