OPI GelColor Passion


OPI GelColor Passion

Over the weekend, one of my best friends got married, and I was lucky enough to be one of her bridesmaids. The day before the wedding we all got manicures and pedicures. I knew that if I had a regular manicure, with my luck there'd be a chip the next day and I didn't want to have to worry about fixing my nails on the big day, so I got an OPI GelColor manicure. I ended up with Passion, which is a pale (almost peachy looking with my skin) pink. I took this photo this morning and they're still looking absolutely perfect, even though they were banged around all weekend! 

It's meant to last at least 2 weeks (3 weeks if you don't mind it growing out from your cuticles) but I'm not sure if I can last that long with the same nude manicure! I've read that you can paint regular nail polish over it and remove it, so long as you use non-acetone remover. Has anyone used regular nail polish over a gel manicure? Any tips? I'm thinking of stamping over it when I get bored.

  3. I've got a clear gel manicure and I've painted and removed polish several times and it's still shiny underneath so it's fine!

  4. The OPI GelColor polish is a soak off gel as opposed to the OPI Axxium gel that is often used for clear gel overlays which is a file off system. I think that you can varnish over the OPI Axxium but am pretty sure that polish over a soak off system will just go gloopy and horrible. I have never tried it myself though so I would love to know whether you had any success.

    The manicure looks amazing by the way. I am about to start using OPI GelColor and I can't wait for my first delivery to arrive!

    I would love it if you would also take a look at my nail blog www.wonderlustnails.blogspot.com
