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

I painted my nails a lot as a teenager, I tried everything under the sun.. shellac, opi, you name it. I have NEVER, EVER had a nail polish last more than two days before chipping. I figured I must have some kind of genetic disposition to them chipping off! I bought this polish in Mauve Over and three days in it still looks perfect. This might sound like not much to some, but it's an absolute miracle to me.. because on my hands even shellac chips quickly! 10/10! I will be buying more! If I can get a whole week out of this I will be over the moon.

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.
