OPI Infinite Shine in Can't Tame a Wild Thing

OPI Infinite Shine in Can't Tame a Wild Thing
used entire IS system: primer, 2 coats of color, gloss topcoat
from the OPI Breakfast At Tiffany's Collection for Holiday 2016

I have been re-testing out the Infinite System system with a new shade from the Breakfast At Tiffany's collection, and while I love love love this poppy red, I still don't love love love the system. The topcoat just isn't very thick, so you don't get the gel-like finish I prefer. Now, I do feel like I get pretty good wear from this system, but not enough to justify the higher base/top price.

INTRODUCING COLOR THERAPY FROM SALLY HANSEN THE ADVANCED NEW NAIL POLISH THAT COMBINES COLOR AND CARE 


Finally, gorgeous “Color That Cares While You Wear.” The first Sally Hansen nail polish that uniquely blends saturated color and nourishing argan oil in 38 stunning shades created in partnership with Global Color Ambassador, Madeline Poole.

Sally Hansen continues to lead in innovation by introducing its new Color Therapy products:  a nail polish, top coat, and nail & cuticle oil, inspired by women’s desire to wear beautiful color while simultaneously caring for their nails. Sally Hansen’s Color Therapy nail polish contains a patented micro-delivery system that delivers an argan oil-enriched formula, resulting in intensive nourishment and instant moisture for healthier-looking nails. The Color Therapy nail polish needs no base coat so the oil complex can directly contact the bare nail. 9 out of 10 women experienced a noticeable improvement in their natural nails after wearing the Color Therapy nail polish. Vibrant tones, available in three magnificent palettes, glide on for a radiant, shiny finish with up to 10 days of fade-proof, chip-resistant wear. The Color Therapy nail polish provides the ultimate color that cares while you wear, with everything needed to restore nails without sacrificing luminous color.  

Complete your manicure with the Color Therapy top coat and nail & cuticle oil, both formulated with the same argan oil contained in the nail polish. The top coat provides an ultra-glossy finish for extended wear, and the nail & cuticle oil, the ultimate in nail therapy, instantly makes nails and cuticles look healthier, restored, and rejuvenated.  

The Ingredient Story Color Therapy blends a complex of natural argan, acai, and evening primrose oil to condition weak, dry nails. Argan oil contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, as well as vitamin E, an antioxidant vital for healthy skin and nails. Acai berry oil is rich in omega-3, 6, and 9 essential fatty acids that are valued for nutrition and conditioning in skin and hair care. Evening primrose oil features essential fatty acids that are known to help reinforce hair strength.

Sally Hansen Color Therapy in Indiglow

Sally Hansen Color Therapy in Indiglow
2 coats

Finally, gorgeous “Color That Cares While You Wear.” The first Sally Hansen nail polish that uniquely blends saturated color and nourishing argan oil in 38 stunning shades created in partnership with Global Color Ambassador, Madeline Poole.

Today I've got another shade from the new Sally Hansen Color Therapy line. I'm really impressed with this line! I wore Sticks and Stones for 4 days and barely had any tip wear at all- I hated to take it off, but I was dying to try another shade.

I'm glad I tried Indiglow next- it's gorgeous! The description is "Shimmer with an electric metallic violet"- and that's really accurate. If you enlarge the pic above, you'll see shimmers of red and blue in that purple base- it's so pretty in the sun.

You can read more details about the collection in this post I did a few days ago. The important ingredient is argon oil, and the line boasts 38 shades, so I imagine there is a shade there for everyone. So far I'm really impressed with the line!
