F022 Metallic Rewind is a warm gold with a high-shine finish. Gold flake catches light unevenly on a thick coat, so build it in thin layers. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What this shade does on the nail
- 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.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between OPI F022 Metallic Rewind 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 F022 Metallic Rewind 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 F022 Metallic Rewind 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 F022 Metallic Rewind is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the OPI lacquer range.
