Description

This bright, shiny red gel nail polish is ready to conquer the world, with bright lights and vibrant nails perfect for the big city, making you feel like you're on Easy Street.

Introducing the OPI GelColor Intelli-Gel System, OPI’s Smartest Gel Yet.

 

Formulated with a responsive gel molecule network, this product adapts to your movements effortlessly. The high viscosity ensures the formula remains in place for precise application. With the Intelli-Brush™, gentle pressure causes the formula to thin, delivering a smooth, flood-proof finish. Once pressure is released, the formula resets, self-correcting with every stroke.  OPI Intelli-Gel Technology™ ensures less rework and touch-ups, making application smoother and more controlled. HEMA-free and vegan, formulated with smart ingredients that deliver brilliant results.

Say Goodbye to Streaking, Flooding & Rework.  Say Hello to Genius In A Bottle. 

Experience the next level of nail care with the OPI GelColor Intelli-Gel Technology, where every stroke self-corrects right before your eyes.

Step-by-Step Applications Instructions:

 

Step 1: Shake the bottles for one minute to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. GelColor can be applied directly over the tacky layer of gel or on top of a finished sculpting gel or acrylic enhancement that has been filed with a 180-grit file.

 

Step 2: Start by applying a thin layer of Super Base Base Coat. Begin by capping the free edge to seal it, then cover the nail surface, leaving a small margin around the nail’s perimeter. Cure under an OPI Star Light Gel Lamp for 30 seconds.

 

Step 3: Next, apply a thin coat of color, starting by capping the free edge to seal it. Apply the color to the nail surface, leaving a small margin around the edges, and cure for 30 seconds.

 

Step 4: Repeat with a second thin coat of color, again capping the free edge first. Cover the nail surface, leaving a small margin around the perimeter, and cure for another 30 seconds.

 

Step 5: Follow up with a thin layer of Super Gloss Top Coat. Cap the free edge to seal it, then apply the top coat to the nail surface, leaving a small margin around the edges. Cure for 30 seconds.

 

Step 6: Use a nail wipe soaked in Cleansing Solution to remove any gel residue and cleanse the nails.

 

Step 7: Finish by applying a drop of Cuticle Oil to the base of each nail and gently massaging it in.

Its not for all skin types as they say

Its not for all skin types as they say, as the funny bunny once you start applying the top coat the brush gets stained, it won’t matter what kind of top I used the brush keeps getting stained

About OPI GelColor Intelli-Gel

OPI Intelli-Gel is OPI’s next-generation gel system designed for faster curing, improved durability, and ultra-smooth application. This advanced formula delivers high-gloss color that stays vibrant for up to three weeks, resisting chips, dullness, and lifting. Intelli-Gel cures quickly under an LED lamp and is engineered for both professional use and at-home gel lovers who want salon results without the hassle.

OPI GelColor Intelli-Gel FAQ

What is OPI Intelli-Gel, and how is it different from regular OPI GelColor?
OPI Intelli-Gel is an upgraded gel system offering smoother application, faster curing, and enhanced wear. While both are long-lasting gel polishes cured under LED/UV light, Intelli-Gel uses a modernized formula designed for improved adhesion, shine retention, and durability.

How long does an Intelli-Gel manicure last?
With proper prep and curing, Intelli-Gel can last up to 3 weeks without chipping or losing its shine. Its updated formula is engineered to maintain color and resist everyday wear.

Can I use Intelli-Gel at home?
Yes! While the system is salon-grade, anyone with a UV/LED lamp (like the OPI Star Light Gel Lamp) and standard gel application tools can use Intelli-Gel at home. Beyond Polish carries the base, top, and essentials needed to complete the system.

Do I need a UV or LED lamp for OPI Intelli-Gel?
Absolutely. Intelli-Gel must be cured under a UV or LED lamp for the formula to harden, adhere, and deliver its high-gloss finish properly.

What nail prep is required for Intelli-Gel to last properly?
Start by pushing back cuticles and removing dead skin. Shape the nail, lightly buff the surface, and cleanse thoroughly. Use OPI Bond Aid to improve adhesion before applying your base coat.

How do I remove Intelli-Gel safely?
Gently file the top layer, then soak nails in pure acetone using wraps or OPI Expert Touch Removal Wraps. Avoid peeling or scraping to protect the natural nail underneath.

How many coats do I need when applying Intelli-Gel?
Apply two thin coats of Intelli-Gel color, followed by the Intelli-Gel Top Coat. Thin, even layers help the polish cure correctly and deliver long-lasting, chip-resistant wear.

Can I mix Intelli-Gel with regular OPI GelColor or other systems?
Mixing systems is not recommended. For the best results, stick to the Intelli-Gel, Color, Base and Top Coat together. You can, however, mix Intelli-Gel colors to create custom shades!

What are the most popular Intelli-Gel shades?
Customer favorites include Bubble Bath, Funny Bunny, Love is in the Bare,  and Big Apple Red — classic, versatile shades that look great with the Intelli-Gel high-gloss finish.

What are the special features of OPI Intelli-Gel?
Intelli-Gel offers fast LED curing, ultra-smooth application, improved adhesion, and up to 21 days of high-shine wear. The lightweight feel and soak-off removal make it an easy upgrade for anyone who loves long-lasting gel manicures.
