W55 Suzi gives you a deep green and a light-catching metallic in one bottle. Green swings cool or warm depending on the base, so check it against the client's skin.
What you get in the bottle
- Viscosity that behaves: the gel is thick enough to stay exactly where you place it, so you are not chasing it back off the skin.
- Colour in two passes: the pigment load in OPI W55 Suzi is high enough that two thin coats reach the shade on the cap.
- Three-week service: a properly prepped Intelli-Gel set runs about three weeks before regrowth shows.
- Vegan, HEMA-free, TPO-free: worth flagging to any client who has reacted to gel in the past.
- Light-catching finish: the metallic particles need a thin, even coat to lie flat, so resist loading the brush.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between OPI W55 Suzi 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. Intelli-Gel + Base Top Gel is the Intelli-Gel bottle bundled with the Super Base and top coat. Dipping Powder is the matching dip powder for a dip service in the same shade. Dip Powder & Lacquer is the dip powder with the matching lacquer. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of OPI W55 Suzi, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. OPI W55 Suzi is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.
OPI W55 Suzi is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the whole gel and lacquer category and OPI Intelli-Gel combo sets.
