Why Choose OPI GelColor – Turn On the Northern Lights?

OPI GelColor – Turn On the Northern Lights is a shimmer shade associated with OPI’s Iceland Collection. Swatch reviews describe its color as a deep indigo or purple-blue, with pink and magenta shimmer that becomes more noticeable as the light changes.

This combination gives the shade a dynamic appearance rather than the flat look of a solid crème polish. Depending on the lighting and viewing angle, the color may appear more navy, violet, or purple.

Key highlights include:

• Deep purple-blue color: A dramatic shade for clients who enjoy darker, expressive manicures.
• Shimmer finish: Reflective particles add dimension and visual interest.
• Iceland Collection inspiration: A distinctive color from OPI’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection.
• Versatile styling: Suitable for evening manicures, seasonal nail looks, and creative nail art.
• Professional gel polish: A product option for nail technicians using the compatible OPI GelColor application system.

Discover Deep Purple Shimmer Gel Polish

Purple gel polish is a versatile choice for clients who want something more distinctive than a classic red, pink, or nude manicure. Dark purple-blue shades can look elegant and understated in low lighting while revealing more colorful shimmer under brighter light.

OPI GelColor – Turn On the Northern Lights offers this contrast through its deep base color and luminous finish. It can be worn across the full nail for a dramatic manicure or incorporated into nail art as an accent shade.

For a coordinated design, consider pairing it with silver details, cool-toned neutrals, or complementary purple shades. Nail technicians can also experiment with minimalist accent nails, geometric patterns, and seasonal designs, depending on the client’s preferences.

Please remember that screen settings, lighting, application technique, and the number of coats can affect how the shade appears. Viewing a real swatch is helpful when choosing an exact color for a client.

OPI GelColor I57 and the Iceland Collection

OPI’s Iceland Collection draws inspiration from Iceland’s dramatic landscapes and contrasting natural colors. Turn On the Northern Lights! is associated with shade code GC I57 and is identified as a shimmer shade in collection references.

The color captures the appeal of a dark, atmospheric manicure with a more playful reflective effect. It is a useful option for customers who enjoy purple nail polish but want additional depth compared with a straightforward crème finish.

For salons maintaining a varied OPI GelColor collection, this shade can complement lighter neutrals, warm pinks, earthy browns, and other dark seasonal colors. Its multidimensional shimmer also makes it worth considering for clients looking for a statement manicure without using large glitter particles.

Create Salon Manicures with a Luminous Finish

A dark shimmer shade can work across several nail styles. Wear OPI GelColor – Turn On the Northern Lights as a complete manicure for a bold, coordinated look, or use it selectively to create contrast.

Nail design ideas include:

• Evening manicure: Pair the deep purple-blue shade with a glossy finish for a sophisticated look.
• Winter-inspired nails: Combine it with silver accents or cool-toned nail art.
• Purple accent nails: Use it alongside a complementary neutral or lighter purple.
• Minimalist nail art: Add fine lines or small decorative details for a restrained design.
• Statement manicure: Apply the shade across all nails to showcase its shimmer and color depth.

These are styling suggestions rather than manufacturer claims. The final result depends on the products, technique, and design selected by the nail professional.
