For a professional and long lasting manicure and pedicure. OPI does not guarantee identical colors across all product types (Gel, Lacquer, Infinite Shine, and Dip). While they share the same name, the tones may be different between these product variants.

OPI Gelcolor soak off gel polish (released in October 2011) applies just like traditional nail polish, but gives you a super shiny finish that lasts up to two weeks. Simply apply the gel like regular nail polish and cure it under a UV or LED lamp for the specified period of time.

Why choose OPI Gelcolor?

OPI Gelcolor is produced by the largest manufacturer of nail products in the world. OPI's Gelcolor lasts for 2 weeks and is made specifically to fight the normal wear and tear from daily activities. Their formula does not damage the natural nails and helps keep your nails strong and healthy.

How long does it take for OPI Gelcolor to cure?

The curing times for Gelcolor gel polish depend on the type of lamp used. With an LED Lamp, Gelcolor takes 20–30 seconds to cure. With a UV Lamp, it takes 2–3 minutes to cure. Check out the latest LED lamp for faster curing!

How do I use OPI Gelcolor polish?

The Gelcolor application process is very similar to other soak-off gel polishes. This is how you do it:

Preparation

Step 1. Prepare the nail by using an orangewood stick to push the cuticles back for a clean application of gel.

Step 2. Shape your nails to your style with a natural nail filer (150 grit or higher).

Step 3. Prepare the natural nail by gently removing the shine using a buffer—lightly buff to rough up the nail beds.

Step 4. Remove oils and dust from your nail using nail cleanser.

OPI Gelcolor Application

Step 5. Roll the Gelcolor bottle in your hands to mix the contents. Apply a thin, even layer of Gelcolor Base Coat onto your nail.

Step 6. Place your hand in an LED Lamp and cure for 10 seconds or a UV Lamp and cure for 1 minute. The top coat will remain tacky/sticky, but this is normal for soak-off gel polish.

Step 7. Roll the Gelcolor bottle in your hands to mix. Apply a thin, even layer of Gelcolor Color Coat to your nail. Don’t forget to cap the nail edges to create a seal. Remove any Gelcolor from the skin prior to curing.

Step 8. Place your hand in an LED Lamp and cure for 20 seconds or a UV Lamp and cure for 2 minutes.

Step 9. Apply a second coat of Gelcolor Color to the nail.

Step 10. Place your hand in an LED Lamp and cure for 20 seconds or a UV Lamp and cure for 2 minutes.

Step 11. Apply a thin, even layer of Gelcolor Top Coat onto your nail. The top coat creates a high shine while protecting the gel layers below it from damage. Don’t forget to cap the nail edges to create a seal.

Step 12. Place your hand in an LED Lamp and cure for 20 seconds or a UV Lamp and cure for 2 minutes.

Step 13. Use a liberal amount of alcohol (99%) or gel cleanser with a lint-free pad to remove the tacky/sticky residue from your nail.
