I59 Less is Norse gives you a navy blue and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters. It is carried in the fall 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 I59 Less is Norse 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.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between OPI I59 Less is Norse 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 I59 Less is Norse 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 I59 Less is Norse 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 I59 Less is Norse is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and OPI in bulk.
