The scratches are still barely visible and my weirdly placed chip-scratch is maybe microscopically bigger but really no discernible differences between yesterday and today. And she capped the free edge too. A concept similar to CND VINYLUX, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel and Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy, it claims to deliver gel-like shine and 10-day wear with the ease of removal you get from regular nail polish. But to me, this amount of wear is too much. She used base, two colour coats, and top. The colors are lovely. My dominant right thumb day 3: there's wear and possibly a couple puny chips at the free edge there - it's almost invisible to the eyeball but it shows up very well in a photo. Thats not good. Thats it. And I am 62 years old, so that is saying something! We don't use our hands for normal things. RCM is my go to. I HATE misleading claimes. Well she also works somewhere else and at that place, there's no rotating glass-washing machine so it's hands in water for waaaaay too much time than any hands deserve. Did you notice that too? Glad I found your page. OPI is my favorite polish by far and I was super excited at the prospect of getting this polish and it lasting more than a day or two. I really, really did. I have used Delore Naturals which is a blend of vegetable oils. I was thoroughly impressed with the opi product campaign. amanda's opi withstands the test of thyme day 1. I didnt have an issue with the polish being shiny. Im curious to hear how the protein base works with the system. Gelish continued to disappoint in pigment, coverage and wear. Maybe for some girls with just the right nail surfaces, they work, but not most of us. 10/10. Kinda neat, huh?
Then fell in love with RCM after I broke it off with Gelish and was hugely let down by CND. It's up to you to let me know if I'm right. Thanks! There are combinations of regular polish and Infinite Shine that need to be checked out and I'm on it. I love the base coat and polishwhich I have found to be very shiny. Applied it Thursday (2/4). Actually its just the Withstands the test of Thyme that is the really bad one. Oh, hello totally red stained side walls and cuticles.
They're abused. We use Vinylux top coat over IS with awesome results. With regular stuff I never even get to 3 days when I'm on vacation but I can see Infinite Shine goin' for a full 7. Pass.
OPI has entered the gel hybrid game with OPI Infinite Shine. Ok, so I finally received my IS system from Amazon. I have a couple of colors in that one, and more colors from the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel line because I always seem to have a coupon for it. A lot. I say nope - polish should stick and be flexible enough to bend with your nail instead of chip - that is if you use your hands for normal things. Thanks for the feedback on IS. Coverage was horrible. manigeek likes it! Guys, even the name gel hybrid drives me crazy. I saw these at my local beauty supply place last week and was like WHOA what is this? Ive only tried the Sally Hansen ones so far, but it was a HUGE let down. And her right.
Ive worn these OPI Infinite Shine colors a few times now and, Ill say, Im glad I gave it a few tries. Top coat can be UV dried but CND and others had that 10 years ago already.

They dont have gel in them and just because their top coat contains an ingredient that its sensitive to light- it doesnt make it gel. Yesterday I put in a full 8 hour shift behind the bar - lotsa scrapin' up against things and sliding my nails along the bar. I havent experienced any bubbling but I can see why you wouldnt want to use it on clients if that was happening.
I have used the CND Vinylux and the Revlon Water = death to polish. Nice swatches!! Seriously. I can't wait to try more of this line. OPI Infinite Shine officially launches in March 2015 at salons nationwide but its already online at LoxaBeauty.com and coming soon to ULTA.com. I dont get it, seems like just a way to charge more for polish that is not different than regular opi . I am unimpressed. If I didn't use my right for evil, I'm betting I could go maybe 7 days with this stuff. If I paint on some regular OPI and go to work, after one 8 hour shift my right hand nails look exactly like this and off the polish comes. You'll let me know how it goes for you, won't you? I havent worn IS long enough to know if it is drying. Ooops. I think its necessary to make sure it is mixed well. You would love the blog, Chickettes.com.

The bottle of top coat is ruined due to thisIll stick to Seche Vite for the top coat. The lady tried to get me interested in the lightless gel, even saying I could use them for vacation, but I told her I just am not interested. By the way, Michelle, have you heard of or tried CGs new Ever Glaze yet???? Yep, surprised. Still shiny though! Im definitely one for traditional polish. Lifelong nail biter (I am 60!) The formula will prevent color from smudging while drying to a smooth, high gloss, protected shine. Oh. I probably wont but the nrw OPI gels because of cost and having to use the system , more expense.
Ugh. What a trooper she is, right?
Tomorrow she promises to send more pictures! I love getting my nails done professionally, but it doesn't always make sense to do so given how much time I spend at home. The high gloss protection give nails a beautiful shining finish. Hi Kirsten! I also think that just like the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel, the magic is actually in the top coat. What do you think of Infinite Shine? I can get about 5-6 days wear from regular polish so Id like to see how I do with this. Thank you HSN for sponsoring this post. I know lots of you are getting tired of waiting patiently for reviews to roll out so what have I decided to do for you? Yeah - for me, this stuff lasted FOUR times longer than regular polish. And this girl knows how to apply polish. I just love the look of having color on my nails even when it is just for me. But its just the way it is, any nail polish wears great over a gel manicure! To me, this is totally unacceptable. Barely visible if youre looking at it with your eyeballs but with a photo, it shows remarkably well. Thanks for the tip.

Its most like Dior Gris Montaigne, just a bitlighter. For more swatches of some of the other Infinite Shine launch shades, here's a nice linky to our OPI Infinite Shine Swatch post! Im done with that product. From arms length, the wear is actually pretty minor and there are no significant chips like the ones Amanda shows on Day 2 (she's been in more water than me though). I feel like I've wasted my money. The brush is the same OPI Pro-Wide versionwith its flat, wide shape and flexible bristles. The fact that it didnt dull or stain my nails makes it a winner over the others inmy book. But its really hard to apply. This is supposed to last longer than regular OPI polish - but in my experience, it doesn't. Hope it works! The results of that shift are actually a little surprising. The lighting in bars is notoriously not good so again, excuse the crummy photos. I hastily applied it, so tip wear appeared after a couple days thoughthe shine factor didnt disappoint. I'm also hoping for a few more pictures from Amanda to see howher day 3worked out. infinite shine 2 and it does not stay on..I thought is was a gel but it is not.i paid a lot for the product I do not think I will use it again. Yep, I do. I am in Ohio and have had the Infinite Shine for several months. Were done with this shade. I love the entire Infinite Shine collection. I recommend this magnificent professional brand and absolute quality. And I agree, the gel hybrids need to stop with the unrealistic claims. If you click this image to make it bigger, you'll see the touch of wear on my thumbnail and on my index finger. Already has for me.

It has progressed a little more and is enough wear 'n tear for me to NEED to remove this polish. Colour me amazed. Amandas non-dominant left hand after four days. I'm pretty sure I'm right though. Left index wear again see? It's amazing to see the massive differences between our dominant and non-dominant hands isn't it? Lots of wear and lots of chips.

I tried the o.p.i. Nice review! Oh. This is best for someone who doesnt get great wear out of traditional polish but is leery of wearingUV gel polish. Nail polish generally chips pretty quickly on me even with base and top coats. Nancy, to heal your nails oil is the trick. Other components present is less than 1% concentration. They have now cut that supply almost in half to accommodate this type of polish that all the brands are bringing out. But I do have a question, do you think it is possible to wear the infinite shine base and topcoat with a normal OPI lacquer instead of the infinite shine lacquers? Its surface damage from wearing and old and inflexible polish too long. Step 2: Apply two thin, even coats of your favorite shade. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have no issue with the polishes, but once I put on the Top Coat, my lovely glossy finish becomes dull and almost matte. I have never had nicer nails in my life!

OPI Infinite Shine Steel Waters Run Deep is an elephant grey creme. Step 1: Apply a thin layer of PRIMER to protect your nails. By this evening I had two chipped nails. Im sorry to hear that Shannon. And the shine was still there! Ive decided to do a review as Im wearing the stuff and you can just look at the day by day pictures as I take them. I do use a basecoat . The polish seems to wear the same as without it. I leave a manicure on for a week or so, and then I take the polish off and really clean the nail bed and soak my nail with oil intensively for a day before re-doing nail polish. The polish DOES NOT wear like a gel polish (but without the light). I dont get significantly better wear with the extended wear polishes. And after all that work, it only lasted me for 4 days before the first chip. Lotsa water, lotsa chemicals, losta use. If you follow me on Instagram or SnapChat, you know I cant get enough of the new Burts Bees 100% Natural Lipstick in Magenta Rush (been wearing it non-stop), [], I dont know about you guys, but these hints of warm weather weve been gettinghas me ready for spring to arrive, so Im stocking up on new accessories for when that first 70 degree day hits. I know the pictures are fuzzy but its wicked hard to focus my phone on such a puny little area sorry!

Ingredients: Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose Propyl Acetate, Tosylamide/Formaldehyde Resin, Isopropyl Alcohol, Trimethyl Pentanyl Diisobutyrate, Triphenyl Phosphate, Ethyl Tosylamide, Camphor, Stearalkonium Bentonite. Its my favourite. These polishes are just longer wearing polishes. The colors are beautiful but also have not gotten the fully advertised wear out of it. Its polish.
Hoping it works. It looks good! That NEVER happens for me. This part is really important to note: I gotta tell you that this wear you see on day 4 with OPI Infinite Shine is the wear I normally get on day 1 with any other regular polish/top coat combo. It has yellow undertones so it leans warm but not so much that cooler skin tones cant wear it. But mostly, it just looks like wear and not chips. My dominant right day 3: it's almost too much for me to handle. Introducing OPI's Infinite Shine ProStay Gloss Top Coat with exclusive ProStay technology, for one more full day of polished perfection. And it's far less than I thought it'd be after 2 shifts at work. Its an eye opener! Trying OPi IS primer and top coat with RNG OPI colors. I like the gel polishes because when I dont have the time to do my gels, it doesnt take as long and the finished finish is the same AND I still get a great selection of colors. The close-up shots really show the wear but with a light shade like this, if I was maybe someone else, I could still handle wearing this for another day. Though, differentiating itself from the others, OPI Infinite Shine is a 3-Step system. The extended-wear systems dont seem to have solved the puzzle of how to provide all the benefits without the problems, yet. That black thing on my ring fingernail is just lint. You know I capped the free edges real good, right? Im always testing new products so I dont wear one brand repeatedly. L.A. I mean its not terrible but if you know me, you know I think any chips or wear is pretty much intolerable. I think it is arriving this week.

If I'd been able to stick my nails out into the sunshine for 5 minutes immediately after polishing, I think it would have set up much better and lasted wear-free much better too. It was only 3 days - booooo. You'll have to hang out to see what we're up to. Most disappointing of all is how the "GLOSS top coat" actually dulls the shine of the polish and actually looks like a matte finish. And here's my right thumb: it shows marginally more tip wear than it did yesterday but again, after working another 8 hours on top, I'd expected it to be much, much, much worse. I first bought the base and the top plus 1 light pink colour back in spring.
You just get used to the soak-offs. I've tried other 'long lasting' top & bottom claims, but this one is the real deal! And my left thumb: really not much movement on that wear either.
HOWEVERI used it with one of my regular formula OPI colors (did the whole thing: base coat, color, to coat) and it lasted me 1 actual full week before I saw even a hint of a chip.
