Malaga Wine has always been one of OPI's best colors. It seems to translate nicely to this new formula. I just wish OPI would improve their brush. That said, I'm looking forward to a follow-up video regarding wear and durability of this product. As always, a no-nonsense, informative video beautifully presented by Anna. Thank you!
This is a gorgeous manicure! You do such a pristine job. Kudos to you, too, for your choice of music. Your videos and voice are so peaceful and relaxing. ❤️
Thanks to your tip quite a while ago I bought a bunch of KB Shimmer paddle brushes and used them to replace all my OPI brushes. What a difference! I have Malaga Wine in the regular line and love it. The Infinite Shine line chips just as fast on me (I've heard the same from other people) so I don't find it worth the extra money. Lovely video, Anna.
Morning from the UK. I've recently discovered Ur channel and really enjoying it, so thankyou! I am a lover of MANUCURIST due to not being allowed gels due to my treatment for Leukaemia but this brand has been approved. Do u have a video on " what u need for Ur own manicure at home kit" ? Thankyou.
I'm really interested in this new and improved Infinity Shine line and if it really is much better than the old formula. The application looks so satisfying 😊
I have been enjoying your videos and a now growing out damage from Shellac. I have been following your manicure videos and am no longer cutting the nail fold and just removing the cuticle. Also doing hot oil soaks. My nails look so much better! I haven’t applied any polish yet. What clear polish do you use on your nails? They are beautiful!
When I apply the topcoat, the brush always picks up the color from the previous application. Even after waiting hours. How did that not happen after 4 minutes? BTW, your videos are so satisfying!❤
This top coat seems not to pick up the color almost at all. The top coat is lovely, I have to say, application wise. My other client commented that it took about 1 hr for her polish to feel dry.
Beautiful manicure! I miss color! My nails were peeling, breaking, etc so I stopped painting them this year and have been focusing on nail health. They are growing and looking so beautiful that now I’m afraid to go back to polishing them, let they get ruined.
The manicure i always wanted to have, no harsh products, no over filing and buffing, the nail polish just barely near the skin... i guess now im going to start doing it myself with confidence thanks to you!😊
What a gorgeous manicure. I love Malaga Wine from OPI. The music is so beautiful and soothing. I couldn't find it in your details. What is the name of it? Thanks for your videos.
What’s your opinion on mixing and matching base/top coats? Or you think to use a whole system, like you did here, is best? Heard once top coats are made to work best with the same system (or brand) polishes and that put a doubt in my mind!
My mother always told me never to cut my “cuticles”,so I never did 👍However, just wondering if that skin ever looks the same when it grows back . I enjoyed the video Anna ♥️
How long did it take to fully dry and do you know if it yellows the nails?? The colour is gorgeous. I used to use OPI but found it never fully dried no matter how long I left it or how thinly I applied it. Not sure why. Even with quick dry drops.
I use base coat (usually Seche Clear), wait two minutes (I use my phone timer), coat of color (mostly OPI), wait two minutes, coat of color, wait two minutes, top coat (usually Seche Vite or Seche Vive) and wait 15 - 20 minutes, then rinse in cold water. After that, I massage jojoba oil around my nails and I am good to go and do whatever I want. My manis last at least 5 days with very minimal wear or chips, if I don’t get bored and change it sooner.
I can not paint my nails when they are this short. I short nail beds and they look silly painted, especially when using a bold or dark color! I also can't stand messy nails and I also have ridges. I do have to Thank you for convincing me to keep oil on my cuticles and not wearing my polish forever! I don't have crispy thick nails any more.

Hello. I am the new one here. I was telling you how badly my cuticles grow. I had to work on them already today after less than a week. It’s the cuticle that is under the nail fold and it sticks down just a couple days after I remove it. Especially in the corners. I’ve been pushing them back constantly, but that just pushes the fold back and exposes the cuticle that’s stuck on the plate sooner. But I used my efile today. I don’t like to use it all the time because it can’t take off what partially under the fold. I have to grab what’s sticking out and pull it out with the nippers. But I’m hopeful it will get better in time. I do like using the efile to smooth out the bigger area around the nail. I use my hands for a lot of hard work. They look great today. We’ll see how it goes. Hope you had a good weekend! I noticed the few clients I’ve seen you do have very much the same type of nail bed and plate shape. I haven’t seen anyone yet with nails that are narrower at the cuticle and wider at the free edge or curve upward or at flat. These clients I’ve seen have beautiful nail shapes.
Excellent video and beautiful piano music. Does anyone know the title of the music as I would like to obtain the sheet music for this. Thanks for another useful video.
Useless really as treatment. As clear nail polish, maybe.... It used to kind of work when it contained formalin but they since replaced it with some ineffective (but natural sounding) ingredient.
What did you say was different about the infinite shine as far as the polish? Does it last longer? How do you feel about bond aid, and Orlys bondor? I’ve never used them myself but have heard a lot of nail ppl use the bondor to help the polish last. I tried it once and they did last well but can’t tell just once.
You do such a great job wish you were in my neighborhood. There is something soothing about watching you do nail care so well. Thank you for your great videos. 😊
It is so hard to get the free edge perfect when you do your iwn nails. I wish more nail rechs worked wirh natural nails. Everything is a gel manicure, nowadays.
This OPI infinite shine malaga nail polish color looks beautiful on you’re clients nails ❤. I’m also curious to see how long the nail polish wil stay on the nails.
Hi! new to your channel, I was wondering if you could tell me why do you prefer acetone as a nail polish remover? I thought it was a bad for the nails... I am surprised! love your videos. Thanks!
Acetone is not bad for the nails :) I think i mentioned in the video that I use acetone because it "shows" me everything. I can easily assess the condition of the nails. more info: schoonscientific.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Dec-16-Doug-Schoon-column.pdf
In many of my videos I explain that I only go over the new growth gently with a buffer. Also it depends how much pressure you are applying on a buffer and how many times you go over an area. Going over an area once with a gentle touch is much different than pressing on a buffer and doing 10 swipes per area.
Love ALL your video’s! I noticed I did t cap the free edge with the polish or top coat . Is that because she has shorter nails ? And do u think this step is necessary??❤
That color is STUNNING. Do you think there is a dupe for that color in Dazzle Dry? No other polish lasts more than 24-48 hours on me other than DD so it's all I use now. (thanks for YOU for introducing me to it!)
I would say "Fast Track Cherry". I don't have an affiliate account with DD anymore so I will give you Amazon link :) Fast Track Cherry Fast Track Cherry amzn.to/49ERe1I Here is a quick video ua-cam.com/users/shorts38mDdr92Tyg?si=QX7X0y8tKBd-PKov
@@TheSalonLife Thanks! DD needs to pay you to rep for them, I love all your swatch videos -- they've caused me to buy more DD than I otherwise would have. :)
What a gorgeous manicure!👌💯😍 I just don't understand why they put regular polish(base and top coat) in not 'see through' bottles...same with Essie gel couture top coat🤔
I think in all the companies I’ve used, the best bottle cap made is by orly! It’s rubberized and the brush is longer which is more balanced in the hand. I’m not a fan of the short little caps and brushes at all. It’s like eating with a short fork! Idk why companies haven’t figured that out-or if they’re too cheap to make a longer brush and cap. But I love Orlys bottles !
The long brushes are great if you are polishing your own nails. But for professionals shorter brushes are better. The longer the brush the less control over the brush you have.
@@TheSalonLife yeah I understand but it looks like your client has come to you with a manicure incorrectly done elsewhere or by herself seeing the wounds, i.e. skin fold cut instead of your recommendation: nudged skin fold and the cuticle that lays underneath cleaned up, hence why I was a little bit confused...
She didn't for a week and I just re-did her manicure (and I made a video). The skin looked so much better in my humble opinion. But honestly, I don't judge. People have their preferences and they do what they want to do to their skin. I just show different options. We will see if she will like it :))
Thought that also myself! If she looked at your beautiful nails she might rethink about it. Glad she didn’t for 1 week. Hopes she continues it. Can’t tell (and hope) enough to everyone who wants to hear it: Don’t cut your skin anymore!!!!😅🤭
I love watching you do nails. It's very soothing to me and this colour is exactly what I gravitate towards. Why do you usually not use OPI? Do all your clients ask for this round nail shape? I'm surprised that there's never a more square or the variations like coffin, especially on clients who ask for a colour.

What kind of brush did you use to do the first clean up?
Very beautiful 😊❤
What music is playing in this video?
Can you share the clean up nail brush that you are using?
The mani was great to watch, but I was fixated (again) on your white free edge which I wish I had 😊 Is it natural? If so … JEALOUS ❤️
I too don't like their brushes! I like the ends rounded and find they conform easier to the nails!
Wow, so much nicer service then we get around here. ❤
Do you cap the ends with the polish? What’s your thought on that? Didn’t look like you did and do you feel it holds the polish better?
I don’t cap such short nails. Not necessary :)
Absolutely stunning! What a master class!

Hey! Thank you very much for your content❤. What do you think of OPI nail envy?
