OPI

OPI Gel Polish and Nail Lacquer for Salons

OPI runs on shade names and seasonal collections rather than numbers, and it is the brand clients ask for at the desk by name. This hub holds every OPI product we stock, more than 1,600 of them, covering both the cured gel side and classic air-dry nail lacquer. If you only want the gel, OPI gel is the filtered view.

The two systems do different jobs on a service menu. The gel is soak-off: cured under a lamp coat by coat, removed with a buff and an acetone soak, and priced as a service. The lacquer air-dries, needs no lamp, and is the bottle you can also sell across the counter. Techs generally keep one brand of base, color and top together through a single service rather than mixing systems, and OPI prints its own cure timing, which is worth following instead of guessing. Lamps are at nail lamps.

For buying, OPI splits into two jobs. Keep the perennial nudes, reds and French shades deep, because those turn over every week. Buy the seasonal collection shades in ones and twos first, and let your clients tell you which ones deserve a case. Cross-shop gel and lacquer, trios, or the full nail color hub, and check promotions before a restock. Free shipping over $150 in the 48 contiguous states, and orders leave in 1 to 2 business days.
