Your husband is a wonderful sport! And this video is SO helpful. You just get right to it and actually show the application on real nails. I love seeing them side by side like this because online buying is so hard. Thank you!
Your husband is an amazing supporter for letting you swatch colors on him! My boyfriend has me do his nails and it makes him so happy, it's so sweet. I love those smooth looking nude colors! I would love to see how long & well they typically wear! Thank you for reviewing them, loved seeing how thick/thin/sheer/streaky/opaque they all applied! So helpful when considering whether or not a product will work for you. Thanks again!
Love this video! Thank you! I scoured the internet in 2020 when I started doing my own gel, trying to figure out a perfect neutral, I landed on Love is in the Bare and still love it. It has a hint of pink but very much a sheer nude. Definitely looking to expand my OPI collection it’s so much better than what you can get at Ulta. I prefer the new bottles :)
I hate how different every bottle of bubble bath is. It’s insane that the gel and regular lacquer are not even the same color! Also agree the regular lacquer formula is horrible!
I have so many versions of the sheer white/pinks but end up wearing the Bubble Bath gel almost every manicure. It’s just perfect. Act Your Beige definitely looks up my alley, though, I may pick it up. ETA: Put it in Neutral goes on lovely but ends up looking like smokers nails after a short time.
Hello, Im having trouble with applying funny bunny as the first coat is very streaky and hard to apply with. Therefore i notice the following coats are also streaky and uneven as well. Is it the problem with the brush or the formula and how can i fix that?
Their brushes are not the easiest to work with. You can change them with brushes from KB Shimmer. Formula is also not the easiest. Make sure you mix (shake) the color for a very long time. That helps
Could you do another video on OPI gels in bright summer reds? I saw you have one with Cajun Shrimp, I’d like to see that compared to other similar hot reds. I love seeing the application and the colors next to each other - no one else is doing videos like this with gels!!
Hi Chris! I would love to! The thing is that our finances are a little limited right now as we just moved and I will be starting a new business and OPI is quite expensive especially here in Spain. I already emailed them asking if I can open a pro account with them. It would be awesome if they could send me some samples but that’s rare. We usually purchase all the products. I will do my best though :))
This might be a silly question but I want to get into gel nails but I don't know what the difference is. Do you paint the nails with the gel nail polish and put your hand under one of those uv machine things or do you just put your hand under a light?
Please check out this video about how I do my own Shellac. Shellac is a name of the line of gel polish made by CND. ruclips.net/video/GiY959u3y4Q/видео.html All gels cure under UV. Here is very important information: schoonscientific.com/2014/complexity-uv-curing/
Thank you for this video. I feel like OPI Gel changed the color to the original Bubble Bath. Just like it’s your favorite, it’s my favorite too, however I was disappointed by OPI’s change to BB.
I don’t have any of the black bottles; I only started using OPI gelcolor last year. I have loved OPI’s lacquer for decades, but the gel is on the expensive side, unless it’s on sale.
Thank you so very much for this video and brush recommendation! Does a cap with the fan brush fit OPI Infinite Shine bottles or it's better to buy just a fan brush? Thank you again 💗
@@TheSalonLife Thank you for the reply! Will definitely follow you on Instagram. I am a nail tech just after school. Working at the salon. Have to work with both OPI gel colors and Infinite Shine. I can manage gel colors, but Infinite Shine is a struggle - everything from a brush to application. If it were up to me, I would change the line to Essie. At least the problem with brushes will be solved.
Can you do non sheer or sparkly white shades even if they are different brands? That and all blacks? Those are my two favorite and it's hard to find a true white and black! Thanks so much
If you can't find a sheer Shellac that makes you happy, you could start to mix them together? 65 % clear and 35 % white or soft pink could be it?! Good Luck and have Fun!! ❤❤❤ 👍 👍 Hm, Funny Bunny and Bubble Bath spoke to me for whatever Reason. I'll try to find these! Thanx ♡ ❤ 🧡 💛
Hi Eva. CND Shellac cannot he mixed. I tried on myself 😂. It bubbled after curing. CND Shellac can be layered though. Doesn’t give the same look though. I think other products like OPI Gel Colors can be mixed. But you would have to contact the manufacturer to make sure. Gel polish formulas are very complicated and I would be careful Ps. CND doesn’t recommend mixing their gel polishes.
Hi Marina! Try emailing them. They probably don’t ship due to restrictions regarding shipping cosmetics but this is just brushes. They might ship them Ps. Apparently the best brushes come from Italy. Try maybe looking for manufacturers in Italy :)
@@TheSalonLife Thanks dear! Good idea, i'll try to ask them! 😍 i've tried to look for some brushes by myself, but the only brushes i've found are the classic brushes with long handle. The ones for nail art 😒
I have long strong hard nails. Super white tips. I want a shiny light pink sheer hot like pink that will cover my nail white like candy. Like a strawberry hard Jolly Rancher. What to do?
@@TheSalonLife yes i know that but i think opi is more liquid when i put it on and shelac is like better aplay like how to explane on english language when is on air it get sticky so it doesent go in cuticul like other brends
You can add a clear coat to the OPI...nail polish before and/or after...just in case a lovely person has NO CLUE/IDEA.....the powder...one...just gently dip your finger...and shake-off the powder...tap, tap, tap.....😃🤣😉🙃🙂......you never know these days!...Ciao! Hello-Until next time (Bye)!
Hi, I’d love you to swatch Shellac whites, also would love your opinion on which you prefer Shellac or OPI. I have always been a Shellac person but from this video, I’d like to try Chiffon Your Mind and Love is in the Bare. Thanks!
Yes, I love these colors as well. I used to use both OPI GelColor and CND Shellac. I decided to use 1 brand only though. I think when I was using other brands some people were going back and forth between brands and were ending up with lots of white spots after shellac.

I swear by put it in neutral! I wear that almost year-round and always get asked what's on my nails and it never yellows. Want to try act your beige!

Wow, I don’t know why I’ve never thought to change out brushes in my gels, that’s genius! I wish more gels came with rounded brushes.
Would love to see 3 coats for sheers to really see how they build up. This was really helpful. Still unsure which white looks best.
Just found your channel. You do very nice work and your presentation is great. Thanks

Hi wonderful video thanks, is Act your beige discontinued? I dont see it anywhere in Gel formula??
Hi Energia, From what I understand it is retired. I will provide a link here: www.opi.com/retired-shades Thanks so much! - MSL
Can you tell the difference between OPI soak off soluble gel vs OPI gel polish?
Hello Léa, the Axiuum?
Thank you so very much for this video and brush recommendation! Does a cap with the fan brush fit OPI Infinite Shine bottles or it's better to buy just a fan brush? Thank you again 💗
They do fit the cap. I will make a quick video in the next couple of days on Instagram. Please follow us @thesalonlife.ca
@@TheSalonLife Thank you for the reply! Will definitely follow you on Instagram. I am a nail tech just after school. Working at the salon. Have to work with both OPI gel colors and Infinite Shine.

At least the problem with brushes will be solved.
I definitely prefer new bottles just for aesthetic reasons
Could you make a video to show how to change the brushes? I don’t like to use opi’s rounded brushes
Yes, I will do. Super easy! I will post it on IG, can you follow me @thesalonlife.ca
@@TheSalonLife thank you ;)
Hello!!!!! ❤ In your opinion, what is the equivalent of "opi-funny bunny" in CND collection? Thanks 😊
White Wedding (semi sheer) and Studio White (almost opaque)
Check out this video where I swatch them ruclips.net/video/SksXpm4zM9I/видео.html
@@TheSalonLife Thank youuuu!!! 💖 you are the best ☺️
@@TheSalonLife The important thing is that it has a small blue undertone like funny bunny! Do you think I can find it in white wedding? 🤔
Can you do non sheer or sparkly white shades even if they are different brands? That and all blacks? Those are my two favorite and it's hard to find a true white and black! Thanks so much
Beautiful colours and very shining. Do they need soaking removal? Love from Italy 🇮🇹
Hi Laura! Yes they do. Here is the video about the removal :) ruclips.net/video/gO9hXVB5VrI/видео.html
If you can't find a sheer Shellac that makes you happy, you could start to mix them together? 65 % clear and 35 % white or soft pink could be it?! Good Luck and have Fun!!
❤❤❤ 👍 👍

Do you know how many toxic free about OPI nail polish? Thanks
Non of the polishes are toxic (unless you maybe drink them) and that includes OPI :)

Where can I buy these gel polishes if I am not a “pro?”

Hi Marika! I Pink Gellac has brushes. I've used them. They are fantastic! They do fit OPI bottles.

Do I need UV lamp for OPI Gel Color?
Yes, it's a UV cured gel polish. :)
I have long strong hard nails. Super white tips. I want a shiny light pink sheer hot like pink that will cover my nail white like candy. Like a strawberry hard Jolly Rancher. What to do?
I know the look but I don't know any jelly reds (that end up looking pink) to get that look ;( I'm sorry
Is it UV lamp secured gel nailpolish?
Yes, these gel polishes require a lamp to cure :)
What is difirence betwen opi and shellac ?
They are different brands of gel polish
OPI has a Gel Color and CND has Shellac. They are both gel polishes.
@@TheSalonLife yes i know that but i think opi is more liquid when i put it on and shelac is like better aplay like how to explane on english language when is on air it get sticky so it doesent go in cuticul like other brends

Love Act Your Beige... incognito classy color.
Thanks for this
You’re welcome :))
Thank you very much. You saved me disappointment. Like when i buy a color and then it’s not what I expected. Keep up your great work.
You are very welcome Mirella! Which color disappointed you? Thank you for your comment.
have you tried the madam glam sheer nude collection
No, I haven’t. I’m sticking to the brands made in USA/Canada and EU. I’m paranoid about allergies 😱
Love your videos
