Hey beauties, welcome back to Beautyistic! Today, I’ve got something that’s going to make your nails stand out this fall—the OPI Infinite Shine Gel-Like Lacquer in “My Berry Janes.” It’s a semi-sheer dark cool purple with a silver shimmer, designed to give you that salon-quality gel finish without a lamp. Let’s see how it performs in real life.
This polish comes in a 15-milliliter bottle and promises long-lasting wear with a gel-like finish. It’s vegan, meaning no animal-derived ingredients, which is always a win if you’re conscious about cruelty-free beauty. OPI highlights its opaque crème, shimmer, and sheer shades, giving you a range to experiment with your mani moods.
I tested “My Berry Janes” over the past week to see how it holds up with normal daily wear—typing, washing dishes, a little light cleaning, the whole routine. The formula is surprisingly smooth and easy to apply; the brush glides evenly, and it doesn’t streak, which can be a struggle with darker or shimmer polishes. I noticed the shimmer catches light beautifully without feeling glittery or chunky, so it feels sophisticated yet playful. Drying time is reasonable, though I’d still recommend a top coat if you want to push the wear a little longer.
I have to say, the polish performs best in two thin coats. It builds up nicely to a rich depth without going gloopy. I did notice minor tip wear by day four, which is fairly standard for gel-like polishes without curing lamps, but nothing that ruined the look.
What I love about this shade is how versatile it is—it works for evenings out but still feels polished enough for the office. It’s a classic fall tone but with a modern shimmer twist. That said, if you’re looking for something ultra-durable or chip-resistant for over a week without touch-ups, it might not quite match a fully cured gel.
For pros, you’ve got easy application, vegan formulation, beautiful semi-sheer shimmer, and a modern, flattering color. Cons? Slight tip wear after a few days and the need for a top coat if you want extra longevity.
Considering the price point, OPI’s polish delivers good value—15 milliliters of high-quality, easy-to-use polish in a professional-grade formula. Compared to other gel-like nail polishes on the market, OPI tends to have superior brush design and pigmentation, making application smoother and the finish more uniform. Cheaper alternatives exist, but they rarely match OPI’s combination of color payoff, vegan formulation, and brush ergonomics.
The bottle itself feels sturdy, the packaging classic, and storage is easy. No complaints on build quality here, and the product shelf life is solid as long as you keep the bottle tightly closed. OPI has a long-standing reputation for quality and customer support, though I didn’t need to reach out personally for this review.
If you’re debating which shade to try this fall, “My Berry Janes” is a strong contender if you love deep, moody tones with a touch of shimmer. For anyone looking for a fun, versatile, and vegan polish that performs well at home without a gel lamp, this could easily become a staple.
