People are opting for DIY manicures to save money, enjoy the convenience of doing their nails at home, and have more creative control over their nail designs, and OPI is supporting them with its first-ever gel, GELement, for DIY consumers.
GELement formulas are vegan, meaning they exclude animal-derived ingredients and by-products, and the system includes a protective Base Coat and a No-Wipe Top Coat for a high-shine, scratch-resistant finish. When it comes to color, there are options for everyone in the GELement lineup, ranging from neutrals, crèmes, and dark hues for those with a flair for the dramatic. To make it easy for fans to bring their favorite shades into their DIY routine, OPI introduced 10 sister shades to fan-favorite hues, and bold, updated versions of bestsellers like Bubble Bath and Cajun Shrimp.
To help consumers perfect their technique, OPI introduced GELiversity on YouTube to share tips for properly prepping nails, and applying and removing gels.
