OPI Dipping Liquids - Base #DPT10 (0.5oz)

Have been (religiously) using the Peppi nails system and, to date, have found the OPI system very similar to use, longer lasting, and cheaper as I’m ordering in Canadian funds and saving on shipping costs. I’ve completed two manicures and am very impressed with the results.

I have used dip powder liquids many times in the past but I can't even open the base or top coats anymore. They are glued shut. I have soaked them, removed any spillage. Used a wrench. I don't know it's a bad batch or what. Complete waste of money.
The activator complexly changed color. (Yes I used the brush cleaner I have.) So disappointed. Modelones cheap brand on Amazon works better than this.
