What you get
- 1 x OPI S037 Hands In The Clouds Intelli-Gel gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
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.
- Finish: Fine shimmer that catches the light as the hand moves.
