If a client wants dark red crème, write down OPI W64 We the Female. It comes from the matching Intelli-Gel and Nail Lacquer pair. OPI's own note on the shade: You're hereby authorized to wear this empowering garnet gel shade.
What you get
- 1 x OPI W64 We the Female Intelli-Gel gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured in a lamp
- 1 x OPI W64 We the Female 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.

Storing it
Keep We the Female 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What color is OPI W64 We the Female?+
OPI W64 We the Female is a dark red crème. OPI describes it this way: You're hereby authorized to wear this empowering garnet gel shade.
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 We the Female HEMA-free?+
Yes. OPI Intelli-Gel shades are formulated without added HEMA, and the formula is TPO-free and vegan. Other acrylates are still in the formula, so check the ingredient list if a client has a known sensitivity.
Which top coat do I need?+
Super Gloss Top Coat gives the highest shine and needs an IPA wipe after curing. Super Gloss No Wipe Top Coat skips the wipe, which suits chrome powder and nail art, and is slightly less glossy.
Do the gel and the lacquer share a code?+
Yes. Both bottles carry shade code W64, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure can be booked in the same color.
