Gel nail polish is the ideal solution if you love gel nails but don't have time to paint your nails regularly. The color stays on the nails better and longer than regular nail polish. This is due to the combination of regular nail polish and UV gel. This means you need UV light to dry the polish. But nowadays we also have gel nail polish without a lamp that air dries. Super convenient because you don't need to buy an LED/UV lamp for this. The nail polish brand OPI offers both gel variants, namely the OPI Infinite Shine and the OPI GelColor.
OPI Infinite Shine
OPI Infinite Shine uses a mix of traditional polish and gel polishing technologies, which must be cured in natural ambient light. This means you don't need an LED/UV lamp to apply this gel nail polish! However, it is useful to use the OPI Infinite Shine Base and Top Coat. These provide a long-lasting effect and, moreover, the base coat protects your nails. The OPI gel polish can stay on the nail for up to 10 days. Ready to get rid of it sooner? The nail polish is very easy to remove with a regular nail polish remover.
OPI GelColor
OPI GelColor nail polish is a long-lasting gel nail polish with an intense shine. The gel can stay on the nail for up to 2 weeks, although this depends on the condition of your own nail. To apply the gel nail polish, you need the GelColor Basecoat & Top Coat from OPI and an LED/UV lamp. The base coat ensures that the nail is protected from the colored gel polish and, moreover, the nail polish will also stay on better and longer. The top coat provides a protective layer over the colored polish, this ensures that the color can stay on for up to 2 weeks.
