Could it be... that Essie nail polish is the most long wearing for natural nails? Let me begin! Over the last few weeks I have tried (and often failed) to find a nail polish that will last more than 2 days without chipping. Whereas acrylic nails can keep a nail polish chip free for weeks, natural nails put them to a truer test. It is probably a good thing I am sans-false nails for blog purposes, I can road-test polish more accurately, but it is also a royal pain the arse. My process is always the same, base coat, 1-2 light coats of polish and Seche Vite, but it's amazing how quickly some fail. Chanel? 1 day and the chips start emerging; Color Club? Within a day; Barry M? Pretty good, 2-3 days; OPI? Maybe 2 days. But the best so far? Essie. I am really becoming an Essie lover. They don't always get the opacity right on the shades but these polishes are the most reliable in the longevity stakes. So far, so good. Here is Merino Cool, day 3. Going strong! Sign me up for more Essie polishes in the future. I would be interested to find out if anyone else has found this? Or what your most hard-wearing nail polish is...
