Introduction to OPI Gel Nail Polish
OPI Gel Nail Polish is a type of nail polish that uses a gel-based formula rather than a traditional liquid formula. This type of nail polish is cured under a UV lamp, which allows it to dry and harden more quickly than traditional nail polish. OPI Gel Nail Polish is known for its long-lasting wear and chip-resistant formula, making it a popular choice for those who want a professional-looking manicure that lasts for weeks.
Advantages of using OPI Nail Polish
One of the main advantages of using OPI Gel Nail Polish is its long-lasting wear. This nail polish can last for up to two weeks without chipping or peeling, which is much longer than traditional nail polish. OPI Gel Nail Polish is also known for its shine and glossy finish, which gives your nails a polished and professional look.
Another advantage of using OPI Gel Nail Polish is that it dries quickly under a UV lamp. This means that you don’t have to wait for hours for your nails to dry, and you can get back to your daily activities without worrying about smudging your nails.
Finally, OPI Gel Nail Polish comes in a wide range of colors and shades, making it easy to find the perfect color to match your style and preferences.
What makes this nail polish unique?
OPI Gel Nail Polish is unique for several reasons. First, it is made with a gel-based formula that is cured under a UV lamp, which allows it to dry and harden quickly. This formula also makes the nail polish more durable and long-lasting than traditional nail polish.
Second, OPI Gel Nail Polish is known for its high gloss finish, which gives your nails a professional and polished look. This finish also helps to protect your nails from chipping and peeling, which can be caused by daily wear and tear.
A manicure at Toners?
Before getting an OPI Gel manicure, it is important to properly prepare your nails. We will remove any old nail polish with nail polish remover. Then, trim and shape your nails using a nail file. Push back your cuticles using a cuticle pusher and remove any excess cuticle with a cuticle cutter.
This is followed by buffing your nails using a nail buffer to remove any ridges or bumps and helps the nail polish adhere better to your nails. Finally, we clean your nails with a nail cleanser to remove any oils or residue.
Application technique
We start by applying a base coat to your nails. This will help the nail polish adhere better to your nails and prevent chipping. Then, apply two coats of OPI Gel Nail Polish, waiting for each coat to dry under a UV lamp before applying the next coat.
Finally, a topcoat is applied for protection, and to give them a glossy finish. The topcoat is cured under a UV lamp for a final time.
Tips for a long-lasting OPI Gel manicure
- Avoid exposing your nails to hot water or harsh chemicals, as these can cause the nail polish to chip or peel.
- Apply lotion to your hands and nails regularly to keep them moisturised. This will help to prevent your nails from becoming brittle or weak, which can cause the nail polish to chip or peel.
- Avoid using your nails as tools, such as opening cans or packages, as this can cause the nail polish to chip or peel. Finally, try to avoid exposing your nails to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause the nail polish to fade or discolor.
