Infinite Shine Gel Effects Primer Base Coat Reviews

A base coat is very important for several reasons. It prevents the nails from staining and it also provides a smooth base for the nail polish to adhere to. The base coat was clear and easy to put it on. It had a normal sized brush that painted the nail easily and provided a nice shine. All I needed was one coat and it dried pretty quickly. Thankfully it didn't peel or chip. I've had some base coats that peeled within one day of using!

How it worked with nail polish: I found that it helped make my nail polish look smooth and it seemed to have extended my manicure but it's hard to tell as I had used the top coat as well. When it came time to removing the nail polish, there wasn't really any stains on my nails. Overall I was pleased with the outcome.

The packaging is very simple and elegant and brush and the consistency of the base coat are perfect. It makes the nail polish apply more evenly and I believe that it also help prolong the wear of the nail polish. Dries very fast. A great start to the three step lacquer system.

I'm a total lover of nail polish, but also the lasting longevity of a gel manicure. I found that this base coat did an excellent job of helping my OPI Infinite Shine mani last way longer than a regular manicure!

I applied a thin coat to my nail, followed by two coats of colour and the top coat. The base coat glided across my nail and dried - no joke - in a matter of seconds! There was no waiting around for it to dry. This made the whole DIY mani process SO much quicker. The colour applied super smooth over the top.

I felt that the real test of this primer was the longevity of the manicure, and I wasn't let down! After about five days, I was starting to notice some chips, but they were pretty tiny. Taking off my nail polish was easy. My regular nail polish remover easily whisked it away without any stubbornness, and I was pleased to see that the colour didn't stain my nails at all.

Overall, I'd recommend this base coat to anyone wanting a long-lasting manicure.

I wanted to say thank you to the BH team for telling me trail the O.P.I Infinite Shine 3 step Manicure. I have always been a fan of OPI product and was very excited to get this trail.

I think that the OPI base coat was great and it does what it's meant to. I applied two layers and found that it didn't peel up like some other base coats do.

I found that it go the nail polish to hold longer then normal although not as long as I expected. It was very easy to apply and dried very quickly which made my at home manicure very easy and convenient.

The bottles also had a new sleek look which was a nice bonus as well.

I found that the base coat helped in keeping your nails stain free after applying the colour and top coat.

I found the price of $22.95 for the primer, pretty good value for money as it's 15ml which is a great size and lasts a really long time.

its simple as easy as 1,2,3 ! apply the premier to your clean nails just as you apply your normal nail polish.
its doesnt have a strong or annoying smell. it protects your nail and prepare it for step 2.

it doesnt take long to dry. wait for the premier to dry and apply the laquer.
pleas check my review for Step 2 and 3

This used in conjunction with the gel effects lacquer and top coat provides a great home manicure without the fuss of a uv lamp.

I used it under a bright red shade, and it did allow. Y nails to become quite stained. It took a few days for the red to wear away completely. The whole manicure is very easy to remove though, which is a welcome change from traditional salon gel manicures.

Used in conjunction with the gel effects lacquer and top coat it gave me a chip free manicure that lasted 2 days. Twice as long as my usual at home manicure.

First of all, l would like to thank OPI and BH for including me into Infinite Shine Gel Effects Lacquer System trial team.

I'm a huge lover of OPI products, so I knew I would fall in love with Infinite Shine Gel Effects Lacquer System.

The OPI Infinite Shine Gel Effects Lacquer System consists of three bottles that are numbered: the base coat (1), the coloured nail polish (2) and the top coat (3), so the three step process is pretty easy and self explanatory.

The base coat is easy to apply and dries very quickly, leaving the base well primed for the second step, which is to apply the actual colour.

I'm not usually the one to use the base coat, normally, but this one in combination with the nail polish and the top coat really made a huge difference - my nail polish lasted for almost two weeks!

The price of the base coat is quite reasonable, as only one coat is needed, so price per application is minimal.

Overall, the OPI Infinite Shine Gel Effects Lacquer System base coat, along with steps 2 and 3 is absolutely incredible and I loved my smooth, shiny nails with no chips in sight for almost two weeks! Definitely my new HG!

Being a newbie to the whole DIY Gel Manicure I was excited and a little scared I have to say to be chosen to trial the new O.P.I Infinite Shine 3 step Manicure.

Upon arrival I made sure I read the instructions a couple of times as I have never applied or had a Gel Manicure before this trial. After prepping my nails and making sure they were clean, filed and ready to go I got down to business and was set to have my very first Gel Manicure.

The first step in the system is the Primer which is designed to help the polish adhere to your nails as well as preventing staining when the product is removed. Now what I loved about this was it was easy to apply, didn't take a long time to dry and wasn't at all overpowering in it's smell which is quite common with traditional Gel Manicures.

Now I also noticed that The patented OPI bottles get a makeover in the Infinite Shine line, with a chrome cap. The brush is the same OPI Pro-Wide version with its flat, wide shape and flexible bristles which was easy to use, however for me personally I do prefer a thinner brush when I apply polish but this wasn't an issue.

Now you apply one coat of the primer and allow to dry before preceding to the next step in the system. For me it took approx. 2 minutes for this to fully dry which isn't a long time and by the time you finish applying this to all your nails the first hand is already dry. I also noticed this actually smoothed out my nails and was a great first step to getting the perfect Gel Manicure.

I also loved that this helped in keeping your nails stain free while prepping them for the colour and top coat. I would recommend this for not only a gel manicure but for normal polish as well because it helps the polish adhere while keeping your nails stain free and helping in the easy removal of the manicure once it's time to start all over.

The cost of this is $22.95 for the primer, however you will get many manicures out of this so for me I think this is real value for money as it's 15ml which is a great size.

I tried out the Infinite Shine Gel Effects Primer Base Coat. To prep your nails, it's essential to use a base coat as it really makes your nail application go on smoothly and so much easier.

How the primer works is that helps prep your nails before painting on a new colour. It also helps to avoid staining and yellowing of the nails which is crucial. Just how you would use a primer for your face make-up, it makes perfect sense to prime your nails so that you get a better and more vibrant nail application.

I used the Primer as a Step 1 and it was very easy to use. I just used 1 coat to prime my nails which is all you need. There's no particular harsh smell to the Primer which is excellent because it makes my nail application process much easier.

By using the Primer, my nail polish stayed on longer and there was less chipping. One thing to also note is that it dries so quick that it took me literally less than 5 minutes to get gel-like nails with the ultimate shine to them.
