S029 Lookin' Cute-icle is a butter yellow with a high-shine finish. Yellow pigment is naturally sheer, so plan on a third coat for full coverage. 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.

Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. OPI S029 Lookin' Cute-icle 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.
