E82 My Vampire is Buff gives you a greige and a flat opaque cream in one bottle. Beige hides regrowth better than a bright colour, which stretches the fill cycle. It sits in the summer 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 E82 My Vampire is Buff 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 E82 My Vampire is Buff 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. Dip Powder & Lacquer is the dip powder with the matching lacquer. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The OPI E82 My Vampire is Buff bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for OPI E82 My Vampire is Buff as much as any shade on the wall. Make sure the shine is fully off the plate, the cuticle is pushed back and the surface is dehydrated before the base goes on. Keep every layer thin and cap the free edge on the base, both colour coats and the top. A thick colour coat is the most common cause of a set that peels at the stress point in week two.
OPI E82 My Vampire is Buff is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the summer gel lacquer line-up and OPI Intelli-Gel combo sets.
