S041 Keep It Surreal gives you a fine glitter and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Glitter needs a thicker top coat to sit flat, and it takes longer to soak off. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- A brush that fixes your line: pressure on the Intelli-Brush thins the gel, releasing it lets the formula pull itself back into an even edge.
- Speed on the clock: 30 seconds per layer under the Star Light lamp adds up over a full set of ten.
- Shine that lasts the set: OPI S041 Keep It Surreal reads glass-like once cured, and holds it for roughly three weeks.
- Formula disclosure: vegan, with no HEMA and no TPO, which is the first question sensitive clients ask.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between OPI S041 Keep It Surreal 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. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Dipping Powder is the matching dip powder for a dip service in the same shade. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so OPI S041 Keep It Surreal covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. OPI S041 Keep It Surreal 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 S041 Keep It Surreal is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and OPI in bulk.
