Nuances Of Neutral Opi Infinite Shine

Hey guys! I'm just going to jump right in, today I'm sharing my swatches of the Opi Infinite Shine Nuances Of Neutral collection!

Oooh ahh 6 neutral shades of awesome! If you're a nude, neutral, natural kinda polish lover this post is going to be right up your alley! Let's get onto the swatches!

Staying Neutral On This One

A whisper of pink so sweet it makes choosing sides impossible. 3 thin coats + top coat.

No Strings Attached

This elusive nude refuses to let anyone pin it down. 2 coats + top coat.

Can't Stop Myself

Everything's peachy when you give yourself the go ahead. 3 thin coats + top coat.

Don't Ever Stop

This sun-drenched salmon will keep you on your toes. 3 thin coats + top coat.

Hurry Up & Wait

There's no time like the present to let this luminous tan linger. 2 coats + top coat.

No Stopping Zone

Give your undertones a workout in dusky rose that goes a long way. 2 coats + top coat.

The Opi infinite shine 3 step system offers a high shine longer lasting manicure. I've never given this line a wear test because I switch manicures too often but they get me every time because the formulas are more often than not really nice.

My faves from this collection are Don't Ever Stop, No Strings Attached, No Stopping Zone and Hurry Up & Wait. I love a good neutral, if you do too you might want to pick up a few or more of these neutral shades. The formulas are buttery smooth but also a bit on the thin side so don't load your brushes too heavily or you may have flooding.

The infinite shine line is $12.50 USD/$16.95 CAN
These shades will also be available in two trio packs, featuring primer, one Gel lacquer (Staying Neutral On This One or Don't Ever Stop) and Gloss for $29.95 USD/$39.99 CAN as well as a duo pack of primer and gloss for $19.95 USD/$26.95 CAN

Opi is available at professional salons, Beauty Brands, beautybrands.com, Chatters, Dillard’s, Regis, ULTA Beauty and ulta.com.

Nail Prep & Clean by Vibrant Vinyls

Hello lovelies! It's time for another nail care review! This one is going to be on the Nail Prep & Clean from Vibrant Vinyls.

A clean oil free nail plate is just part of the whole routine to making your mani last longer. I know a lot of us that are super active in the nail community don't wear our manicures very long at all. Peel off base coats are really popular because of this. The faster we can switch our manicures the better! BUT there's always someone who loves to wear a manicure for longer than a day. This is also great for anyone who uses gel nail polish.

Nail prep & clean is great for removing dust and debris from the nail after cuticle removal or after the nails have been gently buffed. It will also dehydrate your nail plate. Removing the oil from your nail plate will allow your base coat to adhere better to your nail. This along with thin coats of color, wrapping your tips, avoiding polish on the sidewalls or flooding of the cuticle & of course a good top coat, should give you a manicure that will last 5+ days. I've seen a lot of success doing this on my girls. My youngest can keep a mani on for 11+ days. It also depends on body chemistry. Because some may only get 5 days of wear, like my oldest.

I tested this out for myself and here's Cindy! I know, every time I give her a shout out here she's always a hot mess. No, I haven't learned how to properly handle her yet. But I'm trying I swear! Lol. The whole point is.....

Here's my manicure after 7 days! I have some growth showing and tip wear on my pointer mostly. Other than that it was holding up great. I got a chip in it around day 9. And I got cotton stuck to a couple during a swatch-a-thon, so I removed it later that day. Not a bad run by any means if you ask me! This mani was prepped and cleaned, base coated, 2 thin coats of color, and top coat.

If this sounds like something you'd like to try here's all the info on vibrant vinyls that you need to know!

Madam Glam Soak Off Gel Swatches pt.1

*Press Sample

Hello friends and fellow polish lovers!

A while back I had the honor of swatching 40 Madam Glam soak off gel polishes! 40!! I know I could hardly believe it myself. I took a few days and dedicated them to nothing but soak off gel swatching!

I will be sharing all of these swatches over time, so if you like gel polish get ready because I have some awesome colors to share! Let's get into the first 5!

Cute Alert

Absolutely perfect for spring, summer... Psh anytime!!!! This is one flawless polish and I'm a huge fan.

Fresh Water

Another anytime ready color. It's so fresh and clean feeling. I'm digging these shades for spring especially.

Barbie Girl

Super bright and so fun! I think the name is spot on for this one.

Bang Bang

This is a unique shade for me. I wasn't sure at first, but I definitely like it and it's telling me it needs some fall nail art later this year....hmm.

Back To Cali

Another favorite... One im from Cali, born and raised. And two we all know I'm addicted to neutral shades! Lol who am I kidding. I love everything!

All five of these are awesome. Madam glam has some of the best formulas ever. These 5 went on so smoothly and were opaque in two coats. I added a coat of mg top coat as well. Each coat cures for 30 seconds and can be worn up to 21 days. My currently wear time high to beat is 16 days. I haven't worn a mani that long again.... Yet. I did get a 12 day wear out of one of these shades. One minor chip but really it was just time for a change. These continue to be some of my favorites, stay tuned for another peek at 5 more colors coming soon!

Madam Glam soak off gel retails for $19 a bottle. She also offers a VIP sub box that contains 3 soak off gels for $29 a month.
