If a client wants dark black crème, write down OPI T02 Black Onyx. It comes from a ready Intelli-Gel set: color, base and top in one order. OPI's own note on the shade: Basic black shade - and basically fabulous.
What you get
- 1 x OPI T02 Black Onyx Intelli-Gel gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
- 1 x OPI Super Base Base Coat, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
- 1 x OPI Super Gloss Top Coat, 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.
- Nothing to match: all three bottles belong to the Intelli-Gel system.

Which option to choose
The combo suits a first Intelli-Gel order, since nothing else in the system is needed beyond prep and a lamp. Same shade, other formats: Black Onyx 3-in-1 set, Black Onyx nail lacquer, Black Onyx dipping powder.
Storing it
Store Black Onyx upright, out of direct sun, and keep the lid tight between clients. Screen color can differ a little from the bottle, so check a swatch when an exact match matters.
More to pair with Black Onyx: OPI Intelli-Gel combos, Bond-Aid pH Balancing Agent and OPI Star Light lamp.
