Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color, Royal Hue

I found a color that matched a dress I was wearing to a wedding so I decided to try it out. I applied this polish on Tuesday to see how it would wear. I have a genetic disorder and I cannot use gel, it peels right off, or acrylics, they pop right off. I was not expecting much from this polish. To my surprise, Saturday morning I look at my nails and decide I don't even need to repaint them for the wedding today. Normally, I have to repaint my nails every other day. The polish chips right off. I admit I can be hard on polish as I do work with dogs. I was so pleased at how this polish lasted and how quickly it set. I didn't even need to use a base coat or a topcoat. This is my new “go to “ polish. Absolutely love this product! So happy I walked away from the “high dollar “section of the store and found my way to the Sally Hansen display.

For the price, I was skeptical at how long this polish would last. I've tried Essie Gel Couture, Vinylux, and Revlon Gel Envy. This lasts as long (on me) as any of those others - sometimes longer! I'm very hard on my nails, so the fact that I get a week out of this polish is outstanding. I've started mixing SH invisible with my regular OPI and Essie polishes to make crelly shades that last so much longer than those polishes on their own (with a quality base coat). They also watermarble like a dream! They may not have a huge colour selection, but I've been known to mix the shades together to get my perfect hue. I'm on my way to owning EVERY colour. My only wish would be for a wider brush.
