OPI Infinite Shine Gel Effects Lacquer System, $12.50
OPI Infinite Shine Gel Effects Lacquer System, $12.50 Pros: One tester said this polish felt the most like professional gel nails. It's high-gloss, nicely pigmented and stood up to daily CrossFit sessions.

Cons: This three-step system requires you to purchase a $20 starter kit in addition to the polish, which costs $12.50 apiece.

Days before chipping: 4

Days manicure lasted: 6
