I like OPI gels myself, when I had my fake nails done....(I am going "au natural" now
)
Very durable, staying soft and pliable long enough to apply, form and shape.
I also like the colors....
However, I also know in order to get that product, one has to have a license/ business, and it's not available to the general public.
Since OPI is a worldwide product, maybe you will be able to get your hands on it in France.
