3-Step System

We all know that when it comes to nail colour, a full 3 step system provides essential layers of prep that dramatically extend the life of any manicure. Many freelance techs and salons will often use a mix of brands or products to achieve a final look but did you know that mixing brands can come with serious risks and even leave you out of pocket financially?

OPI GelColor Gel Nail Polish

Like many brands, OPI GelColor products are reviewed and tested before launch to ensure full product efficacy and compliance when used as a 3 step system and cured with a matching lamp. When using a mix of brands, you cannot guarantee similar results and clients can often be left with nails that are unevenly cured, chipped and peeling or in some cases, suffering from an allergic reaction!

Watch the demo by @danibaileynailartist and find out why a nail professional should have the matching UV/LED lamp to the brand of gel polish being used by Dani Bailey.

Allergic reactions are not only extremely serious for the client and your reputation but can also leave you out of pocket financially.

Using a single gel polish brand guarantees coverage by your warranty/insurance provider, however using or mixing multiple brands can void your liability insurance given you are not using the product as the manufacturer recommended and may leave you to manage any claim costs personally. Should an allergic reaction arise, using mixed brands can also make it difficult to determine where the issue came from.
