Known for their commitment to color, OPI declared its commitment to professionals today when the brand introduced OPI GelColor Artist Series made specifically for pro-use only. GelColor Artist Series is a collection of 24 pod gels designed for nail art.
The launch event was held at the Lab Art, a street-art gallery in Los Angeles. In keeping with this artsy venue, everything was colorful and inspired, reflecting the possibilities offered by these two dozen new shades of soak-off gel. Artist Series will be available for purchase in July.
