Frequently Asked Questions
What color is Lincoln Park After Dark (W42)?+
Lincoln Park After Dark is OPI's famous near-black deep aubergine — a dark purple-plum that reads almost black but shows its purple depth in the light. The grown-up dark mani that isn't full goth.
Is Lincoln Park After Dark black or purple?+
Both — it's a very deep aubergine (purple-plum) that looks near-black indoors and reveals a rich purple tone in sunlight. Vampy and editorial without being a flat black.
How many coats does it need and how long does OPI Intelli-Gel last?+
Two thin coats give full opacity; cure each 30 seconds under LED (2 minutes UV). With proper prep, base, and top coat it wears 2-3 weeks chip-free and soaks off cleanly.
Is OPI Intelli-Gel HEMA-free?+
Yes. OPI Intelli-Gel is HEMA-free, vegan, and cruelty-free, with a smart self-leveling formula that resists streaks — a safer choice for HEMA-sensitive clients.
