D55 Heart and Con-soul 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 is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
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 D55 Heart and Con-soul 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.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between OPI D55 Heart and Con-soul 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. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The OPI D55 Heart and Con-soul bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. OPI D55 Heart and Con-soul 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 D55 Heart and Con-soul is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and OPI Intelli-Gel combo sets.
