What you get
- 1 x OPI F046 Lincoln Park at Midnight Intelli-Gel gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured in a lamp
- 1 x OPI F046 Lincoln Park at Midnight nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
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 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 Lincoln Park at Midnight HEMA-free?+
