OPI’s GelColor salon service is pretty strong, and with that, the brand enlisting the help of professional athletes to promote the collection. Gabrielle Douglas, Danica Patrick, Serena Williams and Misty May-Treanor will be in GelColor ads breaking in select December magazines, according to reports.

OPI’s executive vice president and artistic director Suzi Weiss-Fischmann was inspired after spotting athletes during the London Olympics wearing patriotic nail designs, said the reports.
