OPI Misc/General FAQ

Why should I use cuticle oil, and how often?
Cuticle oils like Nail and Cuticle Oil To Go keep nails flexible, resistant to breakage, and hydrated. Apply daily to condition the nail bed and improve the longevity of your polish.

How do OPI nail cleansers help before applying polish or gel?
Cleansers like OPI N.A.S. 99 Nail Cleansing Solution or Expert Touch Lacquer Remover remove residue oils, and moisture to promote adhesion. Proper preparation helps your polish or GelColor to bond stronger and last longer.

Can I mix and match OPI prep and care products with other brands?
For prep and care, you can mix from your favorite brands. However, OPI recommends you use OPI products together for the best possible results.

What OPI essentials should everyone have for at-home manicures?
Cleanser, Remover, a good quality file, and cuticle oil are definite must-haves for long term nail health care and lasting color. These OPI essentials help you prep and protect, and will be your go-tos for maintaining your professional results at home.

Can I use any LED or UV lamp with OPI products?
It may be possible to use some 3rd party lamps, but to get the absolute best results, we recommend using the OPI Star Light Gel Lamp, which cure layers for OPI GelColor and OPI GELevate in 30 seconds. Make sure to always follow the recommended timing for base, color, & top coats to prevent under-curing and wrinkling.
