OPI Intelli Gel & Lacquer Duo - Hps06 Ginger Snapped

HPS06 Ginger Snapped gives you a warm orange and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Orange is a warm-toned shade that lifts tanned and olive skin.

What you get in the bottle

• Viscosity that behaves: the gel is thick enough to stay exactly where you place it, so you are not chasing it back off the skin.
• Colour in two passes: the pigment load in OPI HPS06 Ginger Snapped is high enough that two thin coats reach the shade on the cap.
• Three-week service: a properly prepped Intelli-Gel set runs about three weeks before regrowth shows.
• Vegan, HEMA-free, TPO-free: worth flagging to any client who has reacted to gel in the past.
• 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.

Specifications

Application steps

1. Shape and clean the plate: file to shape, ease the cuticle back, buff off the shine and wipe the nail.
2. pH step: a single coat of OPI Bond-Aid readies the plate for adhesion.
3. Super Base: one very thin coat, capped at the free edge, cured for 30 seconds.
4. First colour coat: lay OPI HPS06 Ginger Snapped on thin and let the brush settle the edge, cure 30 seconds.
5. Second colour coat: this is the coat that brings the shade to its full depth, cure 30 seconds.
6. Top coat: finish with Super Gloss for maximum shine or the No Wipe top coat when chrome or art is going over it, cure 30 seconds.
7. Last check: cuticle oil, then run a finger down each sidewall before the client stands up.

Where this shade gets booked

• Summer and vacation sets: orange is a warm-toned shade that lifts tanned and olive skin.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a white tip or a gold foil accent.
• Toes, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.

Which option should you add to the bag

On this page you are choosing between OPI HPS06 Ginger Snapped 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. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The OPI HPS06 Ginger Snapped bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.

Storing the bottle

Keep OPI HPS06 Ginger Snapped upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.

OPI HPS06 Ginger Snapped is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the whole gel and lacquer category and OPI Intelli-Gel combo sets.
