DIAMOND strength

Diamond Gel is the latest launch from leading global salon brand OPI. This new multitasking, three-in-one hard gel system features the ideal viscosity to allow for building, overlaying and sculpting, while delivering strength, durability and brilliant high-shine. Unlike heavy acrylics, Diamond Gel provides a natural, weightless feel with a smooth, glass-like shine.

This simplified, odourless system with multi-tasking products reduces ex tensive inventor y and provides clients with the perfect foundation for nail colour services that need an ex tra boost.

The new Diamond Gel system is available in five iconic OPI shades, including Bubble Bath, Put it in Neutral and Funny Bunny, as well as a clear gel for creating transparent extensions, a base for nail art, or for encapsulating glitter or embellishments.

The mix of iconic shades make it possible to colour match to any skin tone or act as a base for any of the OPI Gel Color, Infinite Shine, Nail Lacquer, or Nature strong systems.

How to use Diamond Gel

OPI Diamond Gel should be cured using an OPI Gel Lamp such as the Star Light. The OPI Star Light Gel Lamp provides uniform light output and mirrored interior for even curing across all five fingers and toes and was ergonomically designed and tested in collaboration with nail pros around the world.

OPI Diamond Gel is a file-off system that requires infills bet ween two and four weeks of wea r. OPI training is advisable and can be booked via OPI’s trade website.

To celebrate the launch, OPI has created an exclusive Diamond Gel bundle featuring three iconic hard gel hues, Clear Hard Gel, Base Gel and Gloss Top Sealer, a marketing material package as well as one free day of OPI education.

Exclusively available through an OPI salon rep from March 1, or from trade.opiuk.com from March 15. RRP: £279. 48 (a saving of 15%).
