Shellac/UV Gel Nail Color
Any thoughts on CDI vs. OPI?
Re: Shellac/UV Gel Nail Color
I can't really tell a difference between the two in terms of quality. However OPI has more colors, and many of their colors come in standard OPI polish which is convenient if you want a matching mani/pedi.
As a side note, I am no longer using Shellac/UV Gel polishes. You can't beat them with regards to appearance and durability, but they make my nails paper thin. So long as I continue with them, it's fine as the polish is strong enough to compensate for my thinning nails. But afterwards, I have to trim my nails completely and wait a solid month for my nails to start getting strong again.
