Pear-Adise Cove lays down as a sage green, finishing with a glossy finish. Green swings cool or warm depending on the base, so check it against the client's skin. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
Why techs keep reordering this one
- 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 N86 Pear-Adise Cove 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. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of OPI N86 Pear-Adise Cove, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
How to take it off
OPI N86 Pear-Adise Cove 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 N86 Pear-Adise Cove is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and OPI Intelli-Gel combo sets.
