OPI Infinite Shine Tickle My France-y #ISLF16 is a long lasting neutral nail polish with mauve undertones. 

It’s easy on the eyes and it really does last longer than traditional formulas of OPI. Infinite Shine is the longwear formula that OPI makes, it’s OPI’s equivalent to essie’s gel couture. While you can get this shade in the traditional formula OPI makes, where Infinite Shine differs from its competitors’ longwear lines is that it is a three-step process rather than a two-step process. 

essie gel couture requires a color coat and top coat to get the long-lasting effects. 

OPI’s Infinite Shine offers a base coat too - which is amazing because it allows you to avoid staining your nails if you love darker shades and incorporate a treatment into your routine.

In Infinite Shine, the base coat is called a primer and labeled as Infinite Shine 1 Primer, the color coat is Infinite Shine 2 (pictured in this post), and the top coat is Infinite Shine 3, where the numbers mark which step it is in the routine.

A​​ll Infinite Shine shades have a silver lid so you can identify them from the standard formula, which has black lids. 

Infinite Shine shades tend to be a higher price point than the standard formula and for the price, they really do last longer.

Infinite Shine is a reliable manicure you can count on.

To get the longest wear out of your investment in this line, use all three steps. 

You can get the base and top as a bundle to save money, and start building your collection with colors you can tolerate for more than a week - because it stays on that long. OPI Infinite Shine Tickle My France-y is a perfect neutral, for a subtle manicure to begin your journey into this line.

Now to answer some questions about this line:

Is OPI Infinite Shine better than regular OPI?

All nail polish is good in the view of the writers here.

But seriously - OPI Infinite Shine is not necessarily better but Infinite Shine does last longer than the standard OPI formula, called Nail Lacquer. It also costs more.

If you want to do your nails less frequently, this is a great line for you. 

If you like a fresh manicure more frequently so how long it lasts is less critical, go with the Nail Lacquer.

Does OPI Infinite Shine ruin your nails?

Not at all. It wears like regular nail polish. Some of the Infinite Shine 1 Primers (the base coat) even include nail improving ingredients.

Does OPI Infinite Shine need light?

While Infinite Shine does offer a weartime similar to gel manicures, you do not need a light to apply it. You apply it just like the regular lacquer.

Can OPI infinite shine be removed with regular nail polish remover?

Yes! You can remove OPI Infinite Shine with any acetone-based nail polish remover. No soaking or special techniques required.

What is the difference between OPI Infinite Shine and Infinite Shine 2?

OPI Infinite Shine is the name of the overall longwear line offered by OPI, Infinite Shine 2 is the name of the color coat, the middle step in the three-step process of applying this line. 

For best results, apply one coat of Infinite Shine 1 Primer (base coat), two coats of Infinite Shine 2 (color coat), and one coat of Infinite Shine 3 (top coat), in that order to achieve the long lasting benefits of this line.

All in all Tickle My France-y Infinite Shine is a great investment. 

It’s a neutral shade you can wear any time, and subtle enough that it’s easy on the eyes for wearing over a week. Whether you are new to Infinite Shine or this color, it’s a quality shade and formula.
