OPI Intelli Gel & Lacquer Duo - F030 Bubblegum Goth

F030 Bubblegum Goth gives you a warm orange and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Orange is a warm-toned shade that lifts tanned and olive skin.

What you get in the bottle

• Self-correcting application: OPI built Intelli-Gel around a responsive gel network that settles itself after every stroke, so a slightly heavy hand does not end in a flooded sidewall.
• Thirty-second cure: each layer of OPI F030 Bubblegum Goth sets in 30 seconds under the OPI Star Light lamp, which takes real minutes out of a full set.
• Wear a client notices: about three weeks of glass-like shine before the colour needs a fill.
• Made for sensitive clients: no HEMA, no TPO, and no animal-derived ingredients in the formula.

Specifications

Application steps

1. Shape and clean the plate: file to shape, ease the cuticle back, buff off the shine and wipe the nail.
2. pH step: a single coat of OPI Bond-Aid readies the plate for adhesion.
3. Super Base: one very thin coat, capped at the free edge, cured for 30 seconds.
4. First colour coat: lay OPI F030 Bubblegum Goth on thin and let the brush settle the edge, cure 30 seconds.
5. Second colour coat: this is the coat that brings the shade to its full depth, cure 30 seconds.
6. Top coat: finish with Super Gloss for maximum shine or the No Wipe top coat when chrome or art is going over it, cure 30 seconds.
7. Last check: cuticle oil, then run a finger down each sidewall before the client stands up.

Where this shade gets booked

• Summer and vacation sets: orange is a warm-toned shade that lifts tanned and olive skin.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a white tip or a gold foil accent.
• Toes, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.

Which option should you add to the bag

On this page you are choosing between OPI F030 Bubblegum Goth in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Intelli Gel Only is the Intelli-Gel bottle on its own. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Dipping Powder is the matching dip powder for a dip service in the same shade. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The OPI F030 Bubblegum Goth bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.

How to take it off

OPI F030 Bubblegum Goth is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.

OPI F030 Bubblegum Goth is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the whole gel and lacquer category and OPI Intelli-Gel combo sets.
