I43 Black Cherry Chutney 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 is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
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 I43 Black Cherry Chutney 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.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between OPI I43 Black Cherry Chutney 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. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so OPI I43 Black Cherry Chutney covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
How to take it off
OPI I43 Black Cherry Chutney 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 I43 Black Cherry Chutney is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and OPI in bulk.
