The New OPI GelColor Stay Strong Base Coat
As an entirely new addition to the OPI GelColor lineup, this gel base coat nail polish is a great product for clients with weaker nails to enjoy gel nail polish manicures. The added durability comes from a formula with a higher gel to solvent ratio, this means a thicker viscosity and a brush we’ve specifically designed for thin and precise applications. Plus, it's infused with calcium and vitamin complex, which leaves nails feeling stronger during gel nail polish wear. With up to 60% more strength to the natural nail overall! Because of its serious staying power, it’s ideal for clients who visit salons every 2-3 weeks.
Redesigned with Pros in Mind:
Let’s start with the base-ics. Each bottle in the new GelColor system line up (base and topcoat) has been redesigned specifically with nail pros in mind. Everything from the texturized bottle caps for better grip, to the color coding and product names in clear sight, these product innovations make for quick identification when reaching into your manicure table drawers and a smooth application for every gel nail polish manicure.
Now you might be asking yourself -- Stay Strong vs Stay Classic, what's the difference?
OPI Pro Tips for Application:
When applying OPI GelColor Stay Classic base coat, OPI GelColor polishes, and OPI GelColor Stay Shiny topcoat as you normally would, make sure to shake each bottle vigorously for 1 minute to thoroughly mix, and focus on thin, even coats to apply. Cure each coat in an OPI LED Light for 30 seconds.
After applying and curing OPI GelColor Stay Shiny top coat, be sure to remove the inhibition layer with N.A.S 99 and a lint-free wipe. Finish with a few drops of OPI ProSpa Cuticle Oil.
OPI Pro Tips for Removal
For faster removal, be sure to file the free edge as well as the topcoat then soak off the product for safe and effective removal.
When using OPI GelColor Stay Classic base coat, the average removal time with OPI Expert Touch Removal Wraps and N.A.S. 99 is 15 minutes, and for OPI GelColor Stay Strong, allow for 3 extra minutes of soak-off time due to the added durability.
