Comparing OPI and Essie | Watch Me Work

A full manicure and application of OPI Infinite Shine “Stick to your Burgundies” on one hand and Essie Gel Couture “Model Clicks” on the other hand. You can see how both of them applied, how they dried and how they wore and looked after 8 days.
PS. I get a lot of questions about filing back and forth, its totally OK to file in both directions and if you would like to know why to check out this video:
