Why Pros Choose It
Professional nail technicians value having the exact same shade available in both GelColor and Nail Lacquer.

The duo setup also supports efficient backbar organization and reduces inventory complexity across multiple service menus.
OPI’s GelColor formulation is known for its high viscosity and reliable cure response, while the matching Nail Lacquer offers the same pigmentation and shimmer intensity for clients who prefer a traditional polish finish. Together, they provide the flexibility to offer a complete color-matched service suite without compromise.
