Can you use OPI Infinite Shine Primer with regular polish? This is a common question among nail enthusiasts who are looking to achieve a long-lasting and glossy finish on their nails. The answer to this question is both yes and no, depending on the type of regular polish you are using.
OPI Infinite Shine Primer is specifically designed to be used with OPI’s Infinite Shine Top Coat. This primer helps to create a barrier between the nail and the polish, ensuring that the color stays vibrant and the shine lasts for up to two weeks. However, if you are using a different brand or type of regular polish, the results may vary.
When using OPI Infinite Shine Primer with regular polish, it is important to follow these steps to achieve the best results:
1. Clean and prep your nails by removing any existing nail polish and applying a base coat.
2. Apply a thin layer of OPI Infinite Shine Primer to your nails, ensuring that the primer is evenly distributed.
3. Allow the primer to dry completely before applying your regular polish. This may take a few minutes.
4. Apply your regular polish as usual, starting with one coat and following with additional coats as needed.
5. Once your regular polish is dry, apply a layer of OPI Infinite Shine Top Coat to seal the deal and extend the life of your manicure.
Keep in mind that the success of using OPI Infinite Shine Primer with regular polish depends on the quality and formulation of the regular polish you are using. Some polishes may not be compatible with the primer, resulting in an uneven finish or premature chipping. It is always a good idea to test the combination on a small area of your nail before applying it to your entire manicure.
In conclusion, while it is possible to use OPI Infinite Shine Primer with regular polish, the results may vary. To ensure the best outcome, choose a high-quality regular polish and follow the proper application steps. Happy polishing!
