OPI Infinite Shine 7th & Flower - 15ml

My best advice for this or really any color product you have not bought before is do not rely on online swatches only if at all possible. I did some window shopping online looking for a new spring shade. Online it looked very muted and light, similar to some shades I already have. I had decided on a different shade based on online swatches, but selected this one when I got to the store. It's a nice shade, not to bright, and not too muted, I would say it's more of a salmon or light coral than peach. It's a good shade for spring and summer. It applies evenly and does not streak, weak time is average A lovely Spring/Summer shade, but I'd wear it year-round. I hope Essie keeps making this one. It's a keeper

This is one of my absolute favorite OPI shades. Perfect for any season: spring, summer, fall or winter (I wore this over the Christmas period). No shimmer in here, no glitter and plenty of staying power. I also don't require a top coat as it's very glossy on its own. 2 coats of this and I'm good to go. Love the large brush which makes for easy application, however the only thing to be aware of is that under certain artificial lighting (i.e my office workplace) it can morph into an orange-pink shade, which for me is far from a problem as A) I find it looks equally good like that, in its own unique way, and B) keeps my office co-workers guessing - when they catch me outside on my lunch break... "How did she have one shade on inside and then stepped out in another!?"

Difinitelt worth investing. This bubble bath color is so nice and luxurious. I have an eye on this when i was getting my nails done at the shop. It dries in a decent amount of time and it lasts for 2 weeks. It is chip resistance. I dont have to worry about it getting chipped. The consistency is light so make sure to tell the technician to coat at least 2 times. So after trying it the first time, i fell in love and decided to buy 1 my own. They are not at all expensive. I think i bought my when it was on sale for 3$. I have been using it for 8 months now and i go to paint my nails every other week, which is not bad. I get compliments everywhere i go. This color is such a beautiful compliment to my skin tone. I am absolutely in love. I would recommend buying this.

Just can't seem to figure this out

This has been my signature color for DECADES. I reached a point where artificial nails were no longer an option and have been searching for a good long-wearing polish since. I keep coming back to OPI because the colors are second-to-none - but this just doesn't apply well for me. The brush is longer and thinner than some of the others out there, which makes it hard to get a smooth, easy coat - there's either too much on the brush and my nails/cuticles are absolutely flooded, or there isn't enough and I'm left with goopy streaks from re-dipping. I've made three attempts at polishing this week - the first time the polish never felt dry enough to apply top coat, so I just removed it; the second time I waited until the next morning to apply top coat and it never really ... MoreThis has been my signature color for DECADES.

I've made three attempts at polishing this week - the first time the polish never felt dry enough to apply top coat, so I just removed it; the second time I waited until the next morning to apply top coat and it never really seemed to dry - it felt tacky and everything I touched left indentations in the top coat. Each time I've made a concerted effort to go lighter on the polish - and most recently, I couldn't really get an even application because layers were setting so fast I had to re-dip my brush. Ugh. I've been doing this long enough to say that I don't think it should be this difficult - but I'm disappointed that this isn't as easier to use.

Long lasting colour

This is a great little trio, using the nail polish alongside the base and top coats. The colour has plenty pigmentation and the application is super easy, it drys pretty quickly. I managed to wear it almost 2 weeks without topping up. Even then, it was only a few little chips I had to redo. Rather than re-doing my whole nails again I was able to fill in the chips without it being noticable. The shine from it was great too, and it didn't seem to fade. It's great to have a gel polish look without having to use a nail dryer. I can't wait to purchase more shades from this range.

Lovely colour but doesn’t last long

This product claimed that it would last for up to 11 days but I’m afraid that wasn’t the case at all. My first attempt only lasted overnight before it had started chipping and peeling away from my nails. I tried again, making sure not to bake or wash up while it was on. It lasted 2 days before the first chips happened and I had lost colour from almost a whole nail by the third day. It peels very easily once chipped. It was easy to apply however and didn’t take too long to dry. For my second attempt I painted 2 layers one day and 2 the next to ensure maximum drying time and this worked better. The product is very shiny which is pleasing to touch and look at and I loved the colour.

[Rewarded Review] Do not recommend

Received this in a set of three for a free product promotion in exchange for reviews. The base, color coat and top coat. I was excited for this since I've use OPI for years. Excitement was not it. The base coat dried my nails out terribly, the color was very sheer and the top coat smeared the color coat. There was ample drying time between layers so that wasn't the smear issue. Fast forward to the end of day one and half of it had peeled off. No chores or anything that day, just peeled straight off. By day two every piece was gone and the one nail I did not put a base coat on was stained blue from the polish. Terrible wear, terrible to put on. Very disappointed with OPI on this line.

[Rewarded Review] Gorgeous Shade of Blue!

I typically only use gel polish that is cured, but I gave the OPI Infinite Shine in Do You Sea What I Sea? a chance and I was pleasantly surprised! The color first of all is the most gorgeous gemstone blue with really fine glitter throughout the polish. It is very pigmented and only takes a couple thin coats for full coverage. I found that it dries fairly quickly when applying thin coats, but not so much if you apply too much product or don't let it fully dry in between coats. I have been wearing this polish for 5 days so far and have no chipping. I frequently do art projects, puzzles, and cooking so polish usually always chips after a day or so, but so far this OPI polish still looks fresh. Great polish overall, the only downside is that it seemed a little chunky ... MoreI typically only use gel polish that is cured, but I gave the OPI Infinite Shine in Do You Sea What I Sea? a chance and I was pleasantly surprised!

[Rewarded Review] Long lasting and pretty

I received OPI Infinite Shine Base Coat, Top Coat and Laquer in the shade Faux-ever Yours in exchange for my honest review.OPI Infinite Shine Top Coat definitely stepped up my manicure. It looked great before, but I had a few places that needed smoothing out, which it did very well. I've honestly never had a manicure (that I've done myself) look this good. The viscosity of the formula isn't too thick and the applicator brush handled it well. The brush is soft and large enough to spread the top coat over my entire nail in one stroke. It was dry to the touch in about five minutes, but I'd wait a little longer before doing anything. The end result is a lovely manicure with a pretty glass shine that looks strong and actually is strong.

I wash them at least twenty times a day, as well as do dishes, gardening, bathe my dogs and wash paint off brushes and scrub paint off my hands daily, etc. Even with all that water torture I managed four days before any chipping occurred. It was more like feathering at the tips, not really chipping, which imo is pretty impressive. One more plus, its super easy to take off. I used a little acetone on a cotton ball and it wiped right off. I will definitely be using again.
