Application:

1. Start with clean, filed, and prepped nails. It's recommended to use an OPI base coat as the foundation.

2. Apply the first coat of the Infinite Shine polish, using light, even strokes across the nail. Avoid applying it too thickly.

3. Allow the first coat to fully dry, which takes about 2-3 minutes, then apply a second coat.

4. Finish with an OPI top coat to enhance the color and longevity.

Durability:

1. The Infinite Shine polish claims to last 2-3 weeks without chipping or peeling. In actual use, most users report 1-2 weeks of excellent wear.

2. Compared to regular nail polish, the Infinite Shine line has superior resistance to scratches and wear. The color can maintain its vibrant appearance even with heavy hand use.

3. Using the base coat and top coat in conjunction can further extend the wear time. Some users have reported being able to go 3-4 weeks without needing a touchup.

4. When it's time to remove the polish, an OPI-specific nail polish remover can be used without damaging the nails.

Overall, the OPI Infinite Shine - ISLF001 - Sugarplum Fairy polish demonstrates excellent longevity and durability, meeting the needs of long-wearing manicures. Proper application steps and complementary products can optimize the results.

1. Nail Prep:

• Start with clean, filed, and dehydrated nails. Use an OPI nail dehydrator to ensure the polish adheres properly.
• Apply an OPI base coat before the color - this helps the Infinite Shine formula last longer.

2. Application Technique:

• Apply the first coat of Infinite Shine in thin, even strokes across the nail. Avoid globbing on too much product.
• Let the first coat dry completely, which takes 2-3 minutes, before applying the second coat.
• The second coat should cover the nail evenly and provide full opacity.

3. Capping the Tip:

• When applying the second coat, make sure to "cap" the free edge of the nail by painting slightly over the tip.
• This seals in the color and helps prevent chipping or peeling from the edges.

4. Top Coat:

• Finish with an OPI top coat, like the Infinite Shine top coat, to add shine and further extend the wear time.
• Apply the top coat in thin, even strokes to avoid getting too much product.

5. Drying Time:

• Allow each coat to fully dry between applications, around 2-3 minutes per coat.
• This ensures proper layering and prevents the color from becoming streaky or uneven.

6. Removal:

• When it's time to remove the Infinite Shine polish, use an OPI-specific nail polish remover.
• This will lift the color easily without damaging the nails.

Following these tips will help you achieve salon-quality results with the OPI Infinite Shine formula and maximize its long-wearing benefits.
