How long does it take for OPI Gelcolor to cure?

The curing times for Gelcolor gel polish is highly dependent on the type of lamp that you are using. For LED Lamps, Gelcolor will take 20-30 seconds to cure. However, with a UV Lamp, it will take 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 the 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 it to rough up the nail beds

Step 4. Remove the oils and dust on your nail by 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 UV Lamp and cure for 1 minute. The top coat will remain tacky/sticky, but this is normal of any soak off gel polish.

Step 7. (Roll the Gelcolor bottle in your hands to mix the contents) Apply a thin even layer of Gelcolor Color coat to your nail. Don't forget to cap the nail edges to create a seal. Make sure you remove any Gelcolor from the skin prior to curing.

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

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 UV Lamp and cure for 2 minute.

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 froget to cap the nail edges to create a seal.

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

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.

Altar ego is a very beautiful sheer pink.

Altar ego is a very beautiful sheer pink.Don't Touch My Tutu was my favorite untill i tried this.It is absolutely gorgeous,and has a great shimmery look.It goes on without any streaking.Two coats are lovely,but three is even better.You must try this one!!!!

Comparison of some soft shades; 2 are iridescent.

Comparison of some soft shades; 2 are iridescent. I have reviewed all of them on MUA:Full Size ImageFull Size ImageLovely, flattering, yet trendy AND conservative, iridescent soft shade. Perfect for anytime and occasion. Hard to not just stare at all the time. Gives the illusion of a tan in winter, too!It is a very, very light pink, with a natural base, lighter than Bubble Bath, and has this amazing blue-violet/lilac iridescent flash. Sooooooo awesome, and pretty in all lighting, especially at night. There is a very slight shimmer, too. It is so sophisticated and edgy all at the same time. Application is nice, too. I like 2 light coats, so there is a little visible nail line (VNL). Does not streak on me or get gloopy over time, either (like some soft shades can). On my second bottle, will purchase repeatedly. My go to pink. I also have Otherwise Engaged, which is a very light pink, but with a quiet pink iridescence....the net effect gives you a iridescent ballet pink. It is my version of Bubble Bath (which I have and think is too boring); and it's much more subtle then Alter Ego. Both are nice, but I prefer Alter Ego because it has a youthful flair, and that flash is so lovely and unexpected, and it's little more flattering, too.Beauty Brands keeps both in stock, if you want to check them out. If you are like me, and feel pinks are hard to wear with your skintone, Alter Ego may be the one for you.

what a gorgeous colour! works great as a top coat over other nail polish colours as well.

what a gorgeous colour! works great as a top coat over other nail polish colours as well. to describe the colour, it's like a semi sheer pink opal. works great on it's own or, personally, i like it layers over french manicures for a nice pearly finish.

I absolutely love this polish! It's a sheer, opalescent pink with purple flash.

I absolutely love this polish! It's a sheer, opalescent pink with purple flash. Beautiful over other pinky neutrals and by itself as well. I will by this again and again. It's definitely a staple.

An absolutely stunning shade of very sheer, irridescent pink that enhances the beauty of the polishes I top with it.I haven't yet tried it by itself, but it is worth every penny for its amplifying effects on my other nail looks.Lately I have been wearing it over OPI's Done out in Deco and over OPI's Bubblebath, with very pretty results. Highly recommended staple.
