Good morning, readers! I promised a wear test on the OPI Infinite Shine system back in my swatch post and I finally got a chance to try it out. I was really excited for up to 10 days with the same manicure so I set aside some free time in my blog schedule and bought 2 colors from Ulta that I knew I wouldn’t mind wearing for that long without changing. Keep reading below to find out my results!
For a refresher, here is my info on the Infinite Shine system:
Infinite Shine is applied via a three-step system; first, apply Infinite Shine Primer (Step 1) to prevent staining and increase lacquer durability. Next, select one of 30 shades (Step 2) and paint two thin, even coats for richly-pigmented, vivid color. Finally, finish with Infinite Shine Gloss (Step 3), which features a state-of-the-art gel polymer formula that cures in natural light. Product can be removed easily with Expert Touch Nail Lacquer Remover; no soaking is required.
On my thumb, index, and pinky nails, I am wearing two coats of OPI Grapely Admired using the 3 step system. My middle and ring fingers have two coats of OPI Withstands the Test of Thyme using the system as well. After application, I hung out in the sun for a while to help with the curing in natural light.
The top photo and the one below were taken right after they were applied:
Fast forward to about 24 hours after application:
Sadly, I had wear on my index and 2 chips on my pink nail. In that 24 hours I’m sure I did my normal routine of bathing kids, washing my hands, rinsing dishes, showering, etc. Nothing too crazy, but I am a stay at home mom so there are a good amount of things I do on a daily basis that involve water.
Fast forward again to about 48 hours after application:
The pinky chips have gotten a little worse and the index now has a big chip. Not shown are my other chips on the opposite hand and thumbs, but they are there.
