A Vibrant Shimmery Pink Inspired by Bora Bora

Not So Bora-Bora-ing Pink brings tropical inspiration to a manicure with its bright, shimmery pink appearance. The shade is designed for people who want a cheerful, expressive color with a reflective finish. Its pink tone can complement casual outfits, vacation looks, party styling, and special-event manicures.

Unlike a flat pink crème polish, the shimmer adds visual dimension and catches the light as the nails move. This makes the shade suitable for clients who enjoy a little extra radiance while keeping the overall manicure centered on pink. Wear it as a full-color set or use it as an accent in a coordinated nail-art design.

Application Guide

For a professional-looking manicure, prepare the nails carefully and follow the latest OPI GelColor instructions. Use compatible system products and the specified curing lamp and timing.

1. Prepare the natural nails: Push back cuticles, shape the nails, gently prepare the nail surface, and remove dust and residue using the recommended nail cleanser.
2. Mix the product: Shake the bottles as directed by OPI to distribute pigments evenly.
3. Apply the recommended preparation product: Use the compatible pH-balancing agent or nail-preparation product according to its instructions.
4. Apply base coat: Apply a thin, even layer of the recommended GelColor base coat, taking care to avoid the surrounding skin. Cure according to the current manufacturer instructions.
5. Apply the pink gel color: Apply a thin coat of Not So Bora-Bora-ing Pink, carefully covering the nail without flooding the cuticle or sidewalls. Cure using the specified lamp and timing.
6. Apply a second coat if needed: Add another thin layer for the desired color coverage and cure as directed.
7. Apply top coat: Finish with a compatible OPI GelColor top coat, following its application and curing instructions.
8. Complete the manicure: If required by the top coat, remove the tacky layer using the recommended cleanser and wipe. Finish with suitable nail and cuticle care.

OPI’s current product instructions specify 30-second curing in the OPI Star Light for the listed GelColor system. Always follow the instructions supplied with the actual product and compatible lamp, since curing requirements may differ between systems.

Safety note: Avoid skin contact with uncured gel products. Follow the product label and manufacturer’s safety instructions. Discontinue use if irritation or an allergic reaction occurs and seek appropriate medical advice. Do not peel or forcibly scrape off gel polish.
