Gelcolour promises up to 3 weeks of full coverage thanks to their chip-resistant formula. This saves a lot of time between manicures, so busy nail technicians will benefit the most with Gelcolor manicures. This is a rapid curing time compared to standard gel brands which normally take up to 2 minutes to cure after every polish application. Gelcolor gel polishes stands out from other brands as its ability to fully cure under LED light in just 30 seconds is a great advantage. I used to go for el cheapo polishes because I didn't want to spend big bucks on a color since it's really difficult to pan off a polish so I would only splurge on nail treatments, base and top coats.Gelcolor is OPI’s strongest nail formula which provides full colour coverage, longevity and an incredible scratch-resistant high shine finish with every manicure. Then I started buying some second hand beauty products and discovered what a quality polish is like. ![]() It's like your manicure lasting longer, the polish is easier to work with, it's less streaky and needs fewer coats. I currently have five colors in my collection and more on the way: I used to not thing twice about higher end brands but now when I see second hand Opi polish I don't scroll past it, I look up swatches online. Tickle My France-y - A cream finish nude mauve. I was thrilled when I saw swatches of this online this was very close to the sort of nude I was looking for. Chic From Ears to Tail - A cream finish cool toned light candy pink. This one was a tad streaky but it was easy to even out. I Lilly Love You - A clear pink with loads of mostly pink and gold iridescent glitter. I think compared to some other glitter polishes this one is packed with glitter. I use this one over a dark polish and it looks amazing. I'm not a big fan of glitter but if I'm doing a dark color manicure. I'll paint this over the nail I want to be a feature nail. Louvre Me Louvre Me Not - A stunning warm red toned purple with a shimmery finish. I love this shade I'm not big on shimmer at the moment but I was sucked in by this color. It's warm toned which suits my skintone but I think it would be gorgeous on any skin color. Russian Navy - A really dark blackish navy blue with a bit of purple shimmer. This is a really good back ground color for galaxy nails. I bought this because I wanted a really dark color and I had worn black before didn't think it suited me so I use this as an alternative. Looks great on short nails or my toenails. I have found that some color apply a tad more streaky than others but two coats is enough for good opacity. And even the second hand polish shades that have gotten a bit of use still have a good consistency in comparison to that ones I have that haven't been used at all. I want more but adding brand new colors to my collection is expensive. I cook and wash dishes but I get about 3-4 days before I get chipping. The only reason why I haven't given this more smooches is because I have discovered another brand which lasts much longer on my nails than OPI - Zoya. I have been using OPI nails polishes for as long as I can remember.ĭespite that I think my OPI collection of polishes will only increase. The brand has one of the best varieties of shades and finishes making them appeal to must nail polish lovers. ![]()
