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.

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.
- Prep: cleanse, shape, refine cuticles, and remove surface oils.
- Apply OPI GelColor Base Coat; cure under LED (per lamp specs, typically 30 seconds).
- Apply 1–2 thin coats of Havin’ a Candy ’Ol Time, curing after each coat.
- 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.
- Gently break the top-coat seal with a fine file.
- Wrap with acetone for approximately 10–15 minutes.
- Lift softened product with an orangewood stick; rewrap briefly if needed and finish with light buffing.
