F013 Supernova Pearl reads as neutral nude on the nail and dries to a glossy finish. Nude shades read differently on each skin tone, so swatch on the client before the full set. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- A formula techs already know: GelColor has run in salons since 2011, which means no relearning the application on a busy day.
- Gel and lacquer that agree: both bottles are mixed to the same shade so the take-home matches the set.
- Three weeks between fills: with proper prep and a capped free edge the colour holds for about three weeks.
- No animal-derived ingredients: the formula is vegan across the OPI range.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between OPI F013 Supernova Pearl 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. Gel Polish Only is the gel bottle on its own, for salons that only run gel services. Nail Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The OPI F013 Supernova Pearl bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. OPI F013 Supernova Pearl 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 F013 Supernova Pearl is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and OPI Intelli-Gel combo sets.
