This is a nail lacquer for anyone who wants a long-wearing, glossy manicure without owning a UV or LED lamp or dealing with gel soak-off removal. It suits both first-time at-home users and experienced manicurists, since application and removal follow the same steps as a standard polish.

The rosy nude-pink crème shade suits people looking for a soft, everyday color rather than a bold or statement shade, and works for any nail length or shape.

The appeal of Infinite Shine is that it targets the middle ground between a quick-chipping regular polish and a gel manicure that needs a lamp and soak-off removal. You're Blushing Again gives that same gel-like glossy look and multi-day durability in a soft, versatile rosy-pink crème, while still using ordinary polish remover and no special equipment at home.

Apply as part of the full Infinite Shine system for best results and longest wear:

• Prep the natural nail (clean, dry, and shape) to help the lacquer adhere.
• Apply one thin coat of Infinite Shine Primer to each nail.
• Shake the You're Blushing Again bottle before use to remix the pigment and avoid streaking.
• Apply two thin coats of color, brushing a small amount along the free edge of the nail (capping) with each coat to help prevent chipping.
• Finish with one coat of Infinite Shine Gloss, again capping the free edge.

Pros

• Applies and removes like a regular polish – no UV/LED lamp or foil soak-off needed, unlike gel manicures.
• Crème finish gives full, even color coverage in two thin coats.
• Rated for up to 11 days of wear when paired with the matching Primer and Gloss.
• OPI's '9-free' formulation excludes formaldehyde, toluene, DBP and several other commonly flagged nail chemicals.

Cons

• Reaching the advertised 11-day wear requires buying the Infinite Shine Primer and Gloss separately – the color coat alone will wear more like a standard lacquer.
• Because it air-dries rather than UV-cures, dry time is longer than a gel manicure and nails are more vulnerable to smudging in the first hour.
• As a solvent-based lacquer, it should be applied in a ventilated area.
