Havin' a Candy 'Ol Time GelColor 0.5 oz / Good Enough to Treat Holiday 2025 Collection by OPI

Dial in rich, runway depth with OPI GelColor – Havin’ a Candy ’Ol Time (0.5 oz) from the Good Enough to Treat Holiday 2025 Collection. This crème de la dark blue lays down in thin, self-leveling layers for crisp cuticle lines and a glassy, chip-resistant finish that holds its shine between visits. Engineered for professional speed and predictability, it cures fast under LED while maintaining that saturated OPI payoff clients book for.

Built for efficiency behind the chair, Havin’ a Candy ’Ol Time performs beautifully as a full-set statement or the inky anchor for French variations and minimalist nail art. The controlled viscosity supports precise placement without flooding, and the crème base keeps coverage even and streak-free.

Why Pros Love It

This shade delivers a polished, modern navy that reads bold yet wearable across skin tones. The GelColor system supports streamlined services, reliable cures, and long-lasting gloss, reducing touch-ups and keeping schedules on time.

1. Thin coats, high impact: smooth, even opacity in 2 slim layers for faster services.
2. Fast LED performance: optimized for 30-second LED cures per layer (follow your lamp’s guidance).
3. Durable wear: chip-resistant, high-gloss finish that resists dulling between appointments.
4. Clean leveling: self-leveling formula minimizes brush marks and cuticle cleanup.

Shade & Finish

Havin’ a Candy ’Ol Time is a deep, candy-coated navy crème—inky, saturated, and chic without skewing black. Pair it with velvet matte for cashmere softness or amplify with a high-gloss top for mirror shine. It integrates seamlessly with chrome accents and negative-space designs for elevated seasonal sets.

1. Tone: richly pigmented dark blue crème (cool-leaning).
2. Opacity: full coverage in 2 coats.
3. Finish: high-gloss crème; soften with velvet matte or heighten with gloss top.

Pro Application Protocol

For best performance, work within the OPI GelColor system. Keep layers thin and even, fully cap the free edge, and follow manufacturer lamp specs for each cure step.

1. Prep: cleanse, shape, refine cuticles, and remove surface oils.
2. Apply OPI GelColor Base Coat; cure under LED (per lamp specs, typically 30 seconds).
3. Apply 1–2 thin coats of Havin’ a Candy ’Ol Time, curing after each coat.
4. Finish with OPI GelColor Top Coat; cure, then cleanse if required to remove the inhibition layer.

Removal

Protect nail integrity by letting acetone do the work—avoid aggressive filing that can thin the nail plate. Proper removal keeps clients comfortable and speeds rebooks.

1. Gently break the top-coat seal with a fine file.
2. Wrap with acetone for approximately 10–15 minutes.
3. Lift softened product with an orangewood stick; rewrap briefly if needed and finish with light buffing.

Compatibility & Notes

Formulated for use with OPI GelColor base and top coats and a professional LED lamp. Store away from heat and light; roll or shake well before use to ensure even pigment dispersion.

1. System use only: not intended to mix with traditional lacquer systems.
2. Professional use: for licensed salon, spa & med pros.
3. Bottle size: 0.5 oz (15 mL).
