About OPI GelColor My Solar Clock Is Ticking

Make every manicure feel warm and vibrant with OPI GelColor My Solar Clock Is Ticking. OPI describes this shade as a warm terracotta-red crème gel polish inspired by the feeling of summer. Its rich, sun-warmed color can complement a variety of nail styles, from simple, single-color manicures to creative seasonal nail art.

The GelColor formula is intended for professional gel manicure services. Unlike ordinary nail lacquer, gel polish requires curing under a compatible lamp. When applied with the recommended system products and cured according to the manufacturer’s directions, it delivers an intense color appearance and glossy finish. OPI describes the GelColor system as offering up to three weeks of wear, although actual results vary with nail condition, preparation, application, curing, and aftercare.

Key Features and Benefits

Warm terracotta-red color: My Solar Clock Is Ticking is a burnt, warm red shade with a crème finish. It offers an alternative to classic bright red, making it suitable for customers who prefer earthy, sun-inspired color.

Professional gel polish system: OPI GelColor is designed for professional nail services and use with compatible system products and curing equipment.

Glossy finish: The GelColor system is formulated to provide shine and rich-looking color when applied and finished according to OPI’s instructions.

Long-wear performance: OPI states that GelColor can provide up to three weeks of wear. Individual results depend on nail preparation, application technique, curing, lifestyle, and nail condition.

Controlled application: OPI’s Intelli-Brush is designed to help control product pickup and flow for an even application around the nail area. Use thin, controlled coats and avoid contact with the skin.

Soak-off removal: OPI describes the current GelColor system as soak-off. Follow the product’s official removal instructions and avoid peeling or forcibly scraping the coating.

How to Apply OPI GelColor

For professional use, follow the current OPI instructions for the specific GelColor formula and compatible lamp. A general gel manicure sequence includes:

1. Prepare the nails: Shape the nails, prepare the cuticles, and clean the nail plate according to professional practice and OPI’s instructions.
2. Apply the recommended base coat: Use the compatible GelColor base product and avoid touching the surrounding skin.
3. Apply the color: Shake or mix the bottle as directed. Brush on a thin, even coat of OPI GelColor My Solar Clock Is Ticking, keeping the product away from the cuticle and sidewalls.
4. Cure the layer: Cure under the compatible lamp for the time specified by OPI. OPI’s product information specifies 30 seconds in its Star Light lamp; confirm the current instructions for your exact system.
5. Apply additional color if needed: Use another thin coat for the desired coverage, curing each layer as directed.
6. Apply the compatible top coat: Seal the color using the recommended GelColor top coat and complete its curing and finishing steps according to the product directions.
7. Finish the service: Complete the manicure as instructed, and apply cuticle care if appropriate.

Do not substitute an incompatible lamp or assume that all lamps require the same curing time. Keep uncured gel away from skin and follow the manufacturer’s safety directions. If irritation, redness, itching, or swelling occurs, discontinue use and seek appropriate medical advice.
