I53 Icelanded a Bottle of OPI gives you a warm brown and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Brown reads richer on deeper skin tones and softer on fair ones. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Fewer do-overs: the Intelli-Brush thins the formula under gentle pressure and resets when you lift off, so the gel stays where you put it instead of flooding the cuticle.
- Two coats, full colour: Intelli-Gel reaches its true payoff in two coats and cures in 30 seconds under the OPI Star Light lamp.
- Three weeks of wear: a full OPI I53 Icelanded a Bottle of OPI service holds a glass-like shine for about three weeks before a fill.
- HEMA-free and TPO-free: the formula is vegan and leaves out HEMA and TPO, which matters for clients with a history of gel sensitivity.
- 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.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between OPI I53 Icelanded a Bottle of OPI 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. Intelli-Gel Only is the Intelli-Gel bottle on its own. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Intelli-Gel + Base Top Gel is the Intelli-Gel bottle bundled with the Super Base and top coat. Dipping Powder is the matching dip powder for a dip service in the same shade. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so OPI I53 Icelanded a Bottle of OPI covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
How to take it off
OPI I53 Icelanded a Bottle of OPI 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 I53 Icelanded a Bottle of OPI is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and OPI in bulk.
