Using regular nail polish remover

Soaking nails in acetone
However, if you wish to soak your nails in acetone to remove OPI Infinite Shine nail polish, here is a step-by-step guide:
- Soak a cotton ball with acetone remover.
- Place the cotton ball directly on the nail's surface and wrap the fingertip with foil to hold it in place.
- Leave each nail to soak for 15 minutes.
- Gently remove the foil and cotton ball from each nail.
- With a cuticle stick, gently push away any remaining gel residue.
- Cleanse the nail's surface and finish off with some cuticle oil to keep the cuticles moisturised and the surface protected.
It is important to note that acetone can be harsh on the nails and skin, so it is recommended to use a regular nail polish remover instead. OPI Infinite Shine is designed to be easily removed without the need for acetone or a curing lamp, so a regular nail polish remover should be effective.

Applying cuticle oil
OPI Infinite Shine is a three-step long-lasting nail polish colour that offers a high-definition gel shine for up to 10 days of wear. It can be easily removed at home without the need for a lamp or acetone. To remove it, follow these steps:
Cuticle oil is a moisturising product designed to nourish and hydrate the thin strips of skin at the base of your nails, known as the cuticles. It is typically made with a blend of natural oils, such as jojoba, almond, avocado oil, or even vitamin E. By regularly applying cuticle oil, you can promote healthy nail growth, improve the overall appearance of your nails, and protect them from breakage and infection.
To apply cuticle oil, start by applying a drop or two to each nail on one hand, either by dropping, brushing, or rolling it on. Then, take a minute to massage the oil into your cuticles, the sides of your nails, and the surrounding skin. Repeat these steps on your other hand. For optimal results, reapply the oil every two to three hours or as needed.
You can also apply cuticle oil before bedtime to ensure your cuticles stay hydrated and nourished for the following day. However, it is recommended to avoid applying cuticle oil before a manicure as it may prevent the nail polish from adhering properly. Instead, use it after a manicure to rehydrate your cuticles and refresh the look.
