OPI GelColor - Stay Shiny Top Coat 0.5 oz - #GC003

Q: Why should I use cuticle oil, and how often?

Cuticle oils like OPI Nail and Cuticle Oil To Go help keep nails flexible, hydrated, and resistant to breakage. Apply daily to condition the nail bed and enhance the longevity of your polish or gel manicures.

Q: How do OPI nail cleansers help before applying polish or gel?

OPI cleansers such as N.A.S. 99 Nail Cleansing Solution or Expert Touch Lacquer Remover eliminate oils, residue, and moisture from the nail plate. This ensures stronger adhesion, helping your polish or GelColor last longer without lifting.

Q: Can I mix and match OPI prep and care products with other brands?

You can mix and match prep and care products from different brands. However, OPI recommends using their system together to ensure the best performance, adhesion, and wear results.

Q: What OPI essentials should everyone have for at-home manicures?

A cleanser, remover, high-quality file, and cuticle oil are must-haves for maintaining nail health and achieving long-lasting color. These OPI essentials help prep, protect, and support professional-quality manicure results at home.

Q: Can I use any LED or UV lamp with OPI products?

While some third-party lamps may work, OPI recommends using the OPI Star Light Gel Lamp for optimal results. It cures OPI GelColor and OPI GELevate layers in 30 seconds when the correct timing is followed to prevent under-curing or wrinkling.

Description

OPI GelColor Stay Shiny Top Coat seals gel polish with a luminous, glass-like finish that lasts up to three weeks. This professional-grade top coat protects color from chipping and dulling while enhancing depth and shine. The formula applies smooth and even, capping easily for a flawless edge seal.

Designed for the OPI GelColor system, Stay Shiny works seamlessly over any GelColor shade. It cures quickly under LED or UV light and leaves a tacky layer that wipes away clean, revealing full mirror shine. The result is salon-quality durability with a polished, glossy surface that stays brilliant from application to removal.

How to Apply

Apply one thin coat over cured GelColor and cap the free edge.
Cure under LED lamp for 30 seconds or UV lamp for 2 to 3 minutes.
Wipe away tacky residue with gel cleanser or alcohol.

Awesome

My nails look awesome

pretty

pretty color!

Actually shiny top coat

There are a lot of top coats from other brands that promise high shine but end up being only moderately shiny, I am happy to say this one is a GENUINE shiny top coat.

Shinny but no quick dry

Goes on good vary shinny, but doesn't dry fast stays sticky for a few minutes. Could work better for the price I paid for it.

We're sorry you're having problems with the OPI GelColor - Stay Shiny Top Coat 0.5 oz - #GC003. The most common reason for problems is that most top coat formulas require you to wipe the top coat with a non-acetone solution AFTER it has fully cured. You can use alcohol or the solution recommended for the specific product you are using. If you don't wipe the top coat after it has been under the LED light, it will remain tacky. Another solution is to use a 'no wipe' gel top coat formula.

Hope it helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Great experience with Beyond Polish!!! I have nothing but great things to say!!! Excellent!!!
