OPI gel color soaks off gel polish (released in October of 2011) and applies just like traditional nail polish, but gives you a super shiny finish. OPI gel color is produced by the largest manufacturer of nail products in the world. OPI color will last for 2 weeks and is made specifically to fight the normal wear and tear from daily activities. Their formula does not damage the natural nails and will help keep your nails strong and healthy. The curing times for gel color gel polish are highly dependent on the type of lamp that you are using. For LED lamps, the gel color will take 20-30 seconds to cure. However, with a UV lamp, it will take 2 – 3 minutes to cure. Check out the latest LED lamp for faster curing. The gel color application process is very similar to the other soak-off gel polishes.
