How to read an OPI shade code: the letters and numbers after GC or NL identify the shade, so GC T65 and NL T65 are the same colour, Put It In Neutral, in gel and in lacquer. Most shades on this page are stocked in both, and each product page links to its match.

Questions salons ask
Is the gel shade the same colour as the lacquer? OPI releases most shades in both lines under the same name and code, which lets a salon offer one colour as a gel manicure or a regular polish.
Do I need an OPI lamp for GelColor? OPI states its 30-second cure time for its own Star Light LED lamp. Other lamps can have a different output, so check the cure before working on a client.
Where can I buy OPI in Canada? M1 sells OPI at wholesale prices to salons and nail technicians. Order online for shipping across Canada, or pick up at our Markham store, which serves Toronto and the GTA.
