Book F020 Liquid Fire for bright red work. The finish is wet-look gloss, and red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one thick one. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Salon-standard formula: OPI GelColor has been the soak-off standard in salons since 2011, so techs already know how it behaves.
- Matched pair: the gel and the air-dry lacquer are mixed to the same shade, so a client can leave with the bottle.
- Three weeks of wear: a full OPI gel service holds its colour for about three weeks before a fill.
- Vegan formula: OPI formulas carry no animal-derived ingredients.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between OPI F020 Liquid Fire 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. Dipping Powder is the matching dip powder for a dip service in the same shade. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the OPI F020 Liquid Fire duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
How to take it off
OPI F020 Liquid Fire 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 F020 Liquid Fire is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the OPI lacquer range.
