What are gel nails?” is a common question we hear from the uninitiated. Here’s the lowdown on OPI GelColor:

OPI’s gel nail polish is officially called “GelColor Soak-off Gel Lacquer” and in short, a gel manicure is a coat of colored gel that looks deceptively similar to nail polish. It's a thin brush-on formula, designed for high performance and a glossier finish regular nail polish. When it comes to the question of "How long do gel nails last?" In fact, an OPI GelColor manicure lasts for up to 3 weeks.

Simple enough, right? But what makes a gel manicure different than a typical manicure—or rather, what makes an OPI GelColor manicure different than one created with another of OPI’s lacquers?
