Beautiful color but does not match same shade in Infinite Shine 2

It is a beautiful color BUT it is not at all the shade I was expecting based on the images on your website Also I purchased this same color in Infinite Shine 2 and that one is exactly what I want. How can we fix this? Was a mistake made with the Gel polish?

Hi Jan, thank you for shopping with us! :) I'm so sorry to hear that your color purchases did not match. While other brands have exact matches for their lacquers and gels, OPI does not claim to have matching colors in each product type (gel, lacquer, dip powder). They do have the same name, but the tones may vary between the product types. To ensure we address this issue and provide you with a satisfactory solution, we have sent you an email. If you haven't received it yet, you may check your spam/junk folder or please contact us at hello@beyondpolish.com.

Best pink!

I love this color. It's a great darker pink that I have been looking for.

It’s a Winner

Pretty pink, not out of control, and it doesn’t look like Pepto Bismol.

Beautiful color
