OPI Trip to the Brite Side Collection - TRIO: GelColor, Nail Lacquer, and Powder Perfection Dip - A Wave of Happiness
OPI Catch a Wave of Happiness GelColor, Nail Lacquer & Powder Perfection. Offer clients a fully integrated manicure and pedicure system with this matching trio from OPI. This professional set delivers the same vivid cobalt blue shade, Catch a Wave of Happiness, across three distinct service formats: GelColor, Nail Lacquer, and Powder Perfection. For salons and spas, this coordination streamlines inventory, supports mixed-service menus, and ensures consistent color translation from soak-off gel to traditional lacquer to dip powder.
Quick Take
Designed for efficiency and menu flexibility, this OPI trio allows technicians to reach for the perfect formula based on each client’s wear preferences and service duration. Whether offering a quick-dry traditional polish or a long-wear powder or gel service, the shaded consistency simplifies backbar organization and client consultations.
- Three‑formula matching system: GelColor, Nail Lacquer, and Powder Perfection
- Single vibrant cobalt blue shade helps simplify service menus
- Ideal for salons offering both gel and powder services in one station
- Supports multi‑service workflows: pedicures, bridal parties, and express services
- Professional‑grade formulas designed for salon application and removal
- Reduces shade confusion and streamlines product ordering for backbar
Why Pros Choose It
Professional nail technicians value the ability to offer the exact same color across all three service tiers without carrying separate shade ranges. This matching trio eliminates the guesswork when a client prefers a gel nail but wants a lacquer pedicure or a powder overlay for added strength.
OPI’s GelColor cures under LED light for a chip‑resistant, mirror‑finish wear of up to three weeks. Nail Lacquer delivers the classic, easy‑to‑remove formula that skilled techs can layer for custom opacity. Powder Perfection offers a lightweight, durable acrylic‑alternative finish that dries instantly and requires no light curing.
Key Benefits
Each formula in this trio is engineered for the speed, durability, and ease of use that professional nail services demand. From fast‑drying lacquer to high‑performance gel and powder, the system adapts to your salon’s most popular service types.
- GelColor – Soak‑off gel polish that cures in 30 seconds under OPI LED Light, delivering high‑gloss shine and minimal shrinkage

- Shade consistency – Same vibrant cobalt blue across all three products for seamless service transitions
- Professional durability – Each formula resists chipping, fading, and peeling in a salon environment

How to Use
Follow standard professional application protocols for each formula. For best results, ensure nails are prepped and dehydrated before any service. Use the appropriate OPI base coat and top coat for each system.
- For GelColor: Prep nail plate, apply OPI Bond Aid, then one thin coat of GelColor Base Coat. Cure 30 seconds under LED light. Apply two thin coats of GelColor, curing each 30 seconds. Seal with GelColor Top Coat and cure 30 seconds. Wipe tacky layer with 99% isopropyl alcohol.
- For Nail Lacquer: Apply OPI Base Coat, allow to dry. Apply two thin coats of Nail Lacquer, allowing each to dry approximately 60‑90 seconds. Apply OPI Top Coat and allow to dry thoroughly.
- For Powder Perfection: Apply OPI Bond to clean, dry nails. Dip into Powder Perfection jar, tap off excess, and repeat for desired opacity. Apply OPI Activator and allow to dry. Finish with OPI Top Coat for Powder Perfection.
- Always finish with OPI Cuticle Oil to condition the cuticles and enhance service presentation.

Pro Tips
Use the trio to offer bundled services such as “Same Shade Mani‑Pedi” or “Express Fix‑Up” where you layer Nail Lacquer over a Powder Perfection base for added depth. Store GelColor and Nail Lacquer bottles upright in a cool, dark area to maintain pigment stability. For Powder Perfection, keep the jar tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
