-
Weeks of Chip-Free Wear: Engineered for ultimate longevity, both formulas resist chipping, scratching, and fading, keeping manicures looking freshly done for up to 3 weeks.
-
Time-Saving Salon Efficiency: The OPI GelColor cures in just 30 seconds under a professional LED lamp, while the Power Perfection system air-dries rapidly without requiring any UV/LED light, optimizing client throughput.
-
Superior Nail Protection: The dipping powder formula acts as a lightweight yet incredibly strong protective barrier, reinforcing weak or brittle natural nails against breaking and peeling.
-
Easy, Non-Damaging Removal: Both the gel and powder formulas are designed for a clean, hassle-free soak-off process, preserving the health of the natural nail bed.
-
Signature Pro-Wide Brush: The gel bottle features OPI's patented Pro-Wide brush, allowing for smooth, streak-free, and precise application in fewer strokes.

How to Use:
Option 1: For the OPI GelColor System
-
Prep the natural nails by shaping, gently pushing back cuticles, and buffing. Cleanse thoroughly to remove oils.
-
Apply one thin coat of OPI GelColor Base Coat and cure for 30 seconds under an LED light.
-
Shake the I'm Not Really A Waitress GelColor bottle well. Apply a thin, even coat, cap the free edge, and cure for 30 seconds. Repeat for a second coat.
-
Apply one coat of OPI GelColor Top Coat to seal the color, and cure for 30 seconds.
-
Wipe away any tacky gel residue with a lint-free wipe soaked in gel cleanser, then apply cuticle oil.
Option 2: For the OPI Powder Perfection (Dip) System
-
Sanitize and prep the nails. Apply one even coat of Powder Perfection Base Coat to a single nail.
-
Immediately dip the nail into the I'm Not Really A Waitress Color Powder at a 45-degree angle. Tap off the excess dust. Repeat on all fingers and brush away loose powder.
-
Apply a second layer of Base Coat and dip into the color powder again for full opacity.
-
Apply a third layer of Base Coat and dip into the Clear Color Set Powder to shield the metallic shimmer during buffing.
-
Apply a generous coat of Powder Perfection Activator and allow it to air-dry completely to harden the nail.
-
Shape, file, and contour the nails. Apply a second coat of Activator, wait 2 minutes, then finish with two thin layers of Powder Perfection Top Coat for a high-gloss finish.
