MI12 Complimentary Wine 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. 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 MI12 Complimentary 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.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between OPI MI12 Complimentary 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. 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. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the OPI MI12 Complimentary Wine 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 MI12 Complimentary Wine 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 MI12 Complimentary Wine is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the winter gel lacquer line-up and the OPI lacquer range.
