HPS11 Havin' A Candy Ol' Time gives you a plum purple and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Purple carries both red and blue pigment, so it shifts under salon light and daylight.
What you get in the bottle
- A brush that fixes your line: pressure on the Intelli-Brush thins the gel, releasing it lets the formula pull itself back into an even edge.
- Speed on the clock: 30 seconds per layer under the Star Light lamp adds up over a full set of ten.
- Shine that lasts the set: OPI HPS11 Havin' A Candy Ol' Time reads glass-like once cured, and holds it for roughly three weeks.
- Formula disclosure: vegan, with no HEMA and no TPO, which is the first question sensitive clients ask.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between OPI HPS11 Havin' A Candy Ol' Time 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. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the OPI HPS11 Havin' A Candy Ol' Time duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. OPI HPS11 Havin' A Candy Ol' Time 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.
OPI HPS11 Havin' A Candy Ol' Time is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the whole gel and lacquer category and the OPI lacquer range.
