Benefits 🌟

Using a cohesive system like the OPI base and top coat offers several advantages for your nail routine. The primary benefit is the significant reduction in service time, thanks to the 30-second cure time per layer. This efficiency does not compromise quality; instead, it supports a finish that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. The formula is designed to be cost-effective, allowing for a high-end salon experience at a fraction of the usual time and effort.

Always perform a patch test before full application to ensure compatibility with your skin.

How to Use

To achieve the best results, follow these simple steps:

Prepare the natural nail by cleaning and shaping as desired.
Apply a thin, even layer of the OPI base coat, ensuring you cap the free edge.
Cure under an appropriate LED lamp according to the specific timing instructions.
Apply your chosen OPI Gelcolor shade in thin layers, curing between each coat.
Finish with the OPI top coat, ensuring full coverage to seal the colour.
Cure for the final time to lock in the shine.
