The World's #1 Professional Nail Brand — Used in Salons for 40+ Years

OPI has been the professional nail industry's gold standard since 1981. What started as a dental supply company transformed into the world's most recognized professional nail brand, with over 200 shades, four formula systems, and a global presence in the most prestigious salons. OPI is the brand behind legendary shade names — from "I'm Not Really a Waitress" to "Bubble Bath" — that have become cultural touchstones in the beauty world.

OPI's four core systems meet every client preference: Nail Lacquer for classic painted nails, GelColor for 3-week wear with no chipping, Infinite Shine for gel-like results without UV light, and Nature Strong for those seeking a plant-based formula. All are supported by a comprehensive ProSpa nail and hand care collection that keeps nails and cuticles salon-ready between appointments.

At ProHair.ca, we carry the full OPI professional lineup — nail lacquers, gel systems, treatments, and ProSpa care — so salons and beauty professionals can offer their clients the undeniable quality and colour range that OPI is famous for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between OPI Nail Lacquer and GelColor?
Nail Lacquer is a traditional polish that air-dries and typically lasts 5–7 days. GelColor is a gel formula that cures under LED light and lasts up to 3 weeks without chipping. GelColor requires a lamp and gel remover; Nail Lacquer is removed with regular acetone or non-acetone remover.
Do I need a UV lamp for OPI products?
Only for GelColor. Nail Lacquer and Infinite Shine air-dry without any lamp. Infinite Shine delivers a gel-like look with standard air-drying, making it the most accessible option for home users.
Is OPI vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes — OPI products are vegan and cruelty-free. The Nature Strong line goes further, using up to 75% plant-based ingredients for clients specifically seeking natural formulas.
How do I remove OPI GelColor?
Apply acetone-soaked cotton to each nail, wrap in foil for 10–15 minutes, then gently push off the gel. Never peel or forcibly remove gel as this damages the nail plate. OPI's professional acetone is formulated to remove gel cleanly.
What OPI shade is best for a neutral look?
The most popular OPI neutrals include "Bubble Bath" (sheer pink), "Put It in Neutral" (warm taupe), and "Tiramisu for Two" (creamy beige). All are available in both Nail Lacquer and Infinite Shine systems.
Can I use OPI on acrylic or gel nails?
Yes — OPI GelColor is specifically designed for application over natural nails, gel overlays, and acrylic enhancements. Nail Lacquer can also be applied over enhancements for a traditional polish service.
How do I prevent OPI nail polish from chipping?
Start with a clean, dry nail and apply OPI Base Coat first. Apply two thin coats of color, then finish with OPI Top Coat. Wrap the tip of each nail with each coat. For extended wear, use Infinite Shine or upgrade to GelColor.
