A good fit for anyone who wants to sample a handful of OPI shades in one set rather than buying full-size bottles individually -- useful for building a mini color wardrobe or trying OPI's formula for the first time.

A mini set is the practical way to actually test a handful of shades before committing to full-size bottles -- you get OPI's actual lacquer formula and application experience at a fraction of the cost of buying each shade at full size.

For best results and wear, apply OPI Natural Nail Base Coat first, followed by two thin coats of lacquer, then a top coat -- painting the edge of the nail first on each layer before sweeping color across the nail, and allowing 1-2 minutes drying time between coats.

Pros:

• Lets you try multiple shades without the cost or commitment of full-size bottles
• OPI's Pro-Wide brush covers the nail in fewer strokes for smoother application
• Formulated without animal-derived ingredients

Cons:

• Up to 7-day wear applies with OPI's full 3-step system, not the lacquer alone
• Mini bottles mean less product overall than a full-size purchase per shade
• OPI is not certified cruelty-free company-wide, despite the animal-derived-ingredient-free formula
