We have it in the US. It's very glossy and seems to wear well. Bright color choices too.

It's good, lasts well, but it's not "like a gel manicure" and it doesn't have the shine of a gel polish. Come on OPI, to be honest I'm tired of this type of misleading advertising.
It's not any more shiny then Vinylux or any other polish with a decent top coat used.
I love the colors, the application is great, great coverage, awesome nude colors (big plus), lasts 5-7 days before clients remove it, the shine after a few days is like a shine of Vinylux. Nothing super special. Drying time- good.
BUT... on quite a few people (myself including) the top coat bubbled.
I'm experienced, almost 20 years in the industry, we use a LOT of polish. Still do lots of polished manicures (esp. since Vinylux came out) so lack of experience cannot be to blame.
I never, never have issues with bubbling like this.
It happened on couple occasions, on-and-off. It happened on my nails with the black color (i dried the polish between coats), I skipped the top coat of a few nails and those were bubble-free.
It happened on one of the reds today, meanwhile we used that red in the salon a few times and it didn't bubble. It didn't bubble over the nude yesterday.
It's hit and miss. I'm not too happy about this.
We use a full system (base too) and use it according to instructions.
I'm puzzled. I will update you with more info when I get to use it more.

I really don't understand why they have made these in a totally different colour range to GelColor. I would have been tempted to buy these for retail to clients who want to do their own toes, but they want the colour to match their GelColor fingers.
