Is OPI Gel Polish LED or UV? Can you use OPI gel colour with a UV light? Whether you have a UV or LED lamp, OPI GELCOLOR can be cured under both. However, an LED lamp will cure the formula much quicker than a UV lamp, and as it doesn't use UV light, it's much kinder to the skin.

OPI is a leader in nail polish brands. It's more expensive than other brands because of the quality of the polish. I like OPI polishes however, my go to brand of nail polishes is Zoya. You get what you pay for and I believe OPI is one of the best nail polishes that's comapred to China Glaze and Essie.

In 2010, OPI was acquired by Coty, Inc.

It's no surprise that OPI's world-famous nail lacquer came out on top in our tests. The brand claims its super-strong and chip-resistant polish will stay in place for up to 11 days, so no gel lamps needed.
