A polished manicure is the perfect accent to any outfit.
The confidence that comes from a clean, lacquered and glossy finish to your nails, makes every handshake feel like a million dollar deal.
Statement nails are one of the hottest beauty trends coming into the party season. Bright, bold colours for sunny days and muted, nude tones for breezy, balmy nights, the OPI Infinite Shine Collection will be sure to have a colour to match your personality and mood du jour.
Infinite Shine is the latest development for OPI which promises to achieve a salon quality, glossy manicure that lasts longer than a normal manicure and doesn’t damage your nails and can be applied at home.
With eighteen shades available, like Unrepentantly Red and In Pursuit Of Purple the Hi-def gel shine can be applied at home in three easy steps – prime, lacquer and gloss – with no light required. Best of all, it removes like regular nail polish, so there is no soaking, wrapping, scraping or filing necessary. Much quicker and easier than removing a salon gel manicure and importantly less damage to the nail.
We gathered together a trial team of nail polish lovers to put Infinite Shine to the test.
100% agreed that the three step application process was simple and easy to apply with the Base Coat Primer, Lacquer and Top Coat Gloss drying quickly and setting well without the need for fans or light.
When choosing a nail polish, our testers looked for:
“Easy application, Good consistency – i.e. Not too thick or thin, Great shine” Marie, G.
“Not time consuming, good range of colours, non chip and non fading colour, easy to remove.” Claire, F.
“I look for a trusted brand that is going to give me a gorgeous, glossy colour without compromising on the health of my nails.” Alicia, F.
Good coverage is also very important to our testers. They were particularly impressed with the Nude colours in the range.
“I found the gel polish gave great coverage, two coats of a nude colour can sometimes not be enough but OPI was fabulous to use and looked amazing!”Jade, O.
“It was very smooth, only one coat was enough.” Sonia, C.
“The coverage was good and had a high shine.” Michelle, N.
“It had a smooth and shiny finish; I also found that it lasted longer than your average polish, when being done at home. I loved the ease of putting the polish on and how it dried relatively fast.” Cassandra, L.
“The coverage was excellent and feels weightless on your nails. I really like that you only need a thin coat of polish for a glossy, vibrant colour. The texture is perfect, it goes go smoothly and isn’t thick like some other gel polishes.” Alicia, F.
So does Infinite Shine remove like regular nail polish, without soaking, wrapping, scraping or filing?
“Removing it was a breeze. Just using my regular nail polish remover, a couple of swipes with a cotton ball soaked in remover and my old polish was gone! Simple, quick, easy and no damage or staining to my nails.” Claire, F.
“Very easy to take off and left my nails completely intact.” Nicola, W.
Our readers put OPI Infinite Shine through the paces of daily life, everything from gardening to the commercial kitchen.
“The OPI Infinite Shine polish lasted over 5 days on my nails which is longer than other non UV gel polishes.” Kate, R.
“There was no chipping or peeling and the colour didn’t fade or lose any of its gloss or shine. I even did a bit of gardening, it survived even that!” Claire, F.
“My nails were chip free for five days which is great considering I work in hospitality.” Gabriella, I.
“The durability has been amazing! The shine has been long lasting as well, the manicure still looks fresh and not dull at all.” Anthe, P.
The final verdict?
“A friend who has her nails done professionally on a regular basis assumed that mine had also been done in a salon. She loved the nude neutral shade as did I.” Marie, G.
“My husband told me that my hands looked sexy! Didn’t expect that from him! My sister saw my nails the other day and told me how shiny they were.” Gabriella, I.
“My sister commented on how lovely my nails looked and she loved the colour too. I have a feeling she will want to borrow this and try it out for herself :)” Claire, F.
“Friends and family commented how nice my nails looked.” Courtney, B.
“This nail polish is definitely better value for money and less time consuming than getting a manicure at a salon and, when applied correctly, gives a salon appearance.” Megan, D.
“Everyone noticed how glossy my nails looked and loved the bright shade!” Vanessa, W.
