FAQs
What makes OPI GelColor Intelli-Gel™ different from regular GelColor?
The Intelli-Gel™ System features a high-viscosity, self-correcting formula with a specialized Intelli-Brush™. This combination allows for a more controlled, flood-proof application that adapts to your movements, reducing errors and ensuring a smoother finish.
Is this product suitable for clients with allergies?
OPI GelColor Dulce de Leche is formulated to be Vegan and HEMA-Free. However, it is important to note that allergic reactions to other acrylate compounds may still occur. Always perform a patch test if you or your client have a history of sensitivities.
How many coats are needed for full coverage?
Due to its supercharged pigment, richer, fuller color coverage is typically achieved in just 2 coats.
What is the expected wear time for OPI GelColor Dulce de Leche?
This gel polish is designed to deliver up to 3 weeks of professional wear, resisting chips and wear.
How do I achieve a perfect, cuticle-hugging application?
Use the rounded edge of the Intelli-Brush™ to get close to the cuticle. Apply gentle pressure, and the formula will thin for a smooth application. Release pressure, and the formula reforms to self-correct, minimizing the need for rework.
Can I use this with non-OPI base or top coats?
While it may work, it is highly recommended to use OPI GelColor Base Coat and Top Coat to ensure compatibility and achieve the intended 3 weeks of wear and performance.
How should I store OPI GelColor Dulce de Leche?
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the product from drying out or curing prematurely.
Troubleshooting
Product is too thick to apply smoothly.
Ensure the product has not been over-cured in the bottle by light exposure. Apply gentle pressure with the Intelli-Brush™ to thin the formula for application. If the product is excessively thick, it may be nearing the end of its usable life.
Gel polish is streaky after application.
Ensure an even coat is applied. The self-correcting technology should minimize streaking, but applying thin, even coats is key. Make sure the brush is not overloaded and is properly controlled.
Gel polish is not curing properly.
Verify that the UV/LED lamp is functioning correctly and that the curing time is adequate for the specific lamp and product. Ensure the coats applied are not too thick, as this can prevent proper curing.
Skin irritation or redness occurs after application.
Discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. While HEMA-free, other acrylate sensitivities may occur. Ensure no product has come into contact with the skin during application.
Wear time is less than 3 weeks.
Ensure proper nail preparation, base coat application, and top coat sealing. Adherence to correct curing times for all layers is crucial for longevity.
