It claims to stay "up to 11 days of gel like shine and chip proof nails."
Me and Good Housekeeping are skeptical.
Good Housekeeping did a test with the same brand here.
Tuesday: (day 3) I see a little chipping on the very edges of the nails. But not enough for anyone else to notice as I got a lot of compliments at lunch.
Unsolicited compliment! On my nails! Two girlfriends remarked that it looked like I had been to a salon and couldn't believe I did it at home myself, and couldn't believe I did it on Saturday.
They said it was unbelievably shiny and a great color for me.
Wednesday: (day 4) Small touch up required just to the tips of three or four.
Friday: (day 6) Another touch up required, but this time all tips get a little more polish. Still shiny.
Sunday: (day 8) Chips everywhere. Its possible I could do a major touch up and still get one more day out of this polish, but I just don't want to fool with it. It left a little stain on my fingernails even though I used a Revlon base coat before the color and my nails are very dry now that it is off.
Verdict? Maybe the claims of 11 days of chip proof performance is a little stretch, but a home manicure that last for 8 days with minimal touchups is still phenomenal. And it really was a gel like shine. All for around $7 a bottle.
Revlon, Its impressive.
I'll be looking for more Revlon colors.
