What exactly is Pre-Cured Gel Technology?

Glad you asked. First, let’s talk overall chemistry. When you paint your nails, Infinite Shine creates a film of colour made up of strong polymer chains that lock onto the nail’s surface like a gel polish would without needing to be cured, and it easily unlocks with polish remover. To compare it, when you use gel polish, you get that same strand of strong chains in your colour coats, but it’s activated by UV light which makes it super durable but hard to break down. Hence why you have to soak it off. When you use a regular polish, you get strands of flexible chains in your colour coats that break down super easy with wear and time, and remover.

Tips For Pros

Shake the bottle vigorously to thoroughly mix before use. Use as a system to ensure optimum service performance. Follow OPI lacquer prep step by steps prior to application to promote adhesion. Ideal for clients looking for exclusive shades that offer gel-like wear with a quick and easy removal. Use fewer, smoother strokes to apply lacquer to the nail for a glossy, even finish. Avoid using RapidDry Nail Polish Dryer or DripDry Drops on Infinite Shine Long-wear Lacquer to avoid wrinkling. Instruct your clients to condition nails daily with ProSpa Nail & Cuticle Oil to keep skin and nails healthy and increase the wear of your mani.
