OPI Shine has many colors and I own several but "The Beige of Reason" to me is my very favorite. It is a perfect neutral shade that would look good on short, medium or long nails. I give myself a manicure once a week and usually my nails still look look and could probably last a little bit longer so I can't say how long it takes before the polish chips. It is office friendly and even if it would chip the light color would not make the chip as noticeable. Even though the name has "beige" in it, it is a pinky beige and on me looks more light pink than beige.
