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.

Specifications

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 S046 Reality Check Ya Out. 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.

The set suits salons that offer all three services. Same shade, other formats: Reality Check Ya Out Intelli-Gel, Reality Check Ya Out nail lacquer, Reality Check Ya Out gel and lacquer duo.

Storing it

Keep Reality Check Ya Out 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.
