L87 Malaga Wine gives you a blue-based red and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one thick one. It sits in the winter gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Self-correcting application: OPI built Intelli-Gel around a responsive gel network that settles itself after every stroke, so a slightly heavy hand does not end in a flooded sidewall.
- Thirty-second cure: each layer of OPI L87 Malaga Wine sets in 30 seconds under the OPI Star Light lamp, which takes real minutes out of a full set.
- Wear a client notices: about three weeks of glass-like shine before the colour needs a fill.
- Made for sensitive clients: no HEMA, no TPO, and no animal-derived ingredients in the formula.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between OPI L87 Malaga Wine 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. Dipping Powder is the matching dip powder for a dip service in the same shade. Dip Powder & Lacquer is the dip powder with the matching lacquer. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. If you already stock base and top coat, the plain OPI L87 Malaga Wine duo is the sensible reorder. The bundled options exist for a new station or a second room that has nothing in it yet.
How to take it off
OPI L87 Malaga Wine 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 L87 Malaga Wine is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the winter gel lacquer line-up and OPI dip and lacquer pairs.
