OPI Trip to the Brite Side Collection - TRIO: GelColor, Nail Lacquer, and Powder Perfection Dip - Paintin' On Sunshine
OPI GelColor, Nail Lacquer & Powder Perfection Trio - Paintin’ On Sunshine!. This professional trio delivers the bright, shimmering yellow shade “Paintin’ On Sunshine!” across three service formats, giving salon and spa technicians complete flexibility for any client request. Whether performing a traditional manicure, a long-wear gel service, or a dipping powder enhancement, this coordinated system ensures consistent color matching from base to finish. The set streamlines backbar inventory while offering the signature OPI coverage and wear that professionals trust.
Quick Take
This coordinated color system allows technicians to offer the same vibrant yellow finish across multiple service menus. It eliminates the guesswork of matching shades between different product types and ensures seamless color consistency.
- Three distinct formulas in one matching shade: GelColor, Nail Lacquer, and Powder Perfection
- “Paintin’ On Sunshine!” delivers a bright yellow with a subtle shimmer effect
- Professional-only sizing for efficient backbar use and service versatility
- Supports gel, traditional polish, and dipping powder applications from a single shade
- Ideal for salons offering tiered service menus with varying price points
What’s Included
This bundled set provides three separate OPI products in the exact same shade, designed for professional use. Each component is packaged individually, allowing you to replace or reorder specific items as needed.
- OPI GelColor (0.5 fl oz) – Paintin’ On Sunshine! – LED/UV-curable gel polish for long-wear services
- OPI Nail Lacquer (0.5 fl oz) – Paintin’ On Sunshine! – Traditional polish for classic manicures and pedicures
- OPI Powder Perfection (1.5 oz) – Paintin’ On Sunshine! – Color dipping powder for powder-perfect services
Why Pros Choose This Kit
Managing multiple product lines becomes significantly easier when all three formats share an identical color profile. Instead of hunting through drawers to match a gel polish to a traditional lacquer or dipping powder, technicians can reach for one cohesive set. This approach supports faster service turnaround, simplifies inventory tracking, and reduces the risk of color mismatches on multi-service clients.
For salon owners and educators, this trio also serves as an excellent training tool. New staff members can learn how each formula applies, cures, or dries while mastering a single shade before moving to more complex color families. Established technicians appreciate the ability to offer a “try all three” experience to clients who want to test different wear lengths or maintenance routines.
Best For
This trio fits seamlessly into high-volume salons and specialized nail bars that prioritize both efficiency and color accuracy. The versatility of having three formats in one shade allows for broad client coverage.

- Mobile nail artists who need to pack light without sacrificing color options

How to Use This Kit in Services
Each product in this trio follows its own standard application protocol as established by OPI. The following steps outline a general professional workflow for integrating all three formats into a single service menu.
- Prepare the natural nail with a gentle buff, clean with alcohol or prep solution, and push back cuticles.
- Select the appropriate product based on client preference and service menu: GelColor for UV/LED curing, Nail Lacquer for air-dry polish, or Powder Perfection for dipping application.
- For GelColor: Apply a thin layer of OPI GelColor Base Coat, cure, then apply two thin coats of GelColor, curing each layer. Finish with GelColor Top Coat and cure.
- For Nail Lacquer: Apply OPI Nail Lacquer Base Coat, let dry, then apply two coats of Paintin’ On Sunshine! polish, allowing each to dry. Finish with OPI Top Coat.
- For Powder Perfection: Apply OPI Bond Aid, then base coat. Dip into the Powder Perfection jar, tap off excess, and repeat for desired opacity. Apply activator and finish with top coat.
- After each service, cleanse any sticky residue (for gel) with a lint-free wipe and alcohol or a dedicated cleanser.
- Apply cuticle oil and hand cream to finish, emphasizing hydration without disturbing the manicure.
- Sanitize all tools and work surfaces between clients according to standard salon infection control protocols.

Pro Tips
These operational pointers help technicians get the most out of this coordinated system while protecting their investment.
- Store the dipping powder in a cool, dry place away from open bottles of liquid products to prevent contamination from vapor.
- When transitioning between gel and powder services, use separate sets of brushes and applicators to avoid cross-contamination of formulas.
- Educate clients on the maintenance difference between the three formats—gel lasts 2-3 weeks, lacquer 5-7 days, and powder 3-4 weeks—so they can choose confidently.
- Keep the Powder Perfection jar tightly closed immediately after each dip; exposure to air can cause the powder to clump over time.
