While browsing at my local drugstore I saw this new product by Sally Hansen and immediately knew that I would be trying it. I originally purchased the color "Short Cir-Cute" which is the orange-ish golden color. It's not a terrible color but I knew immediately that I would not be able to handle wearing it for 14 days, it's just not me. As for the polish itself, I had to use three coats to get it opaque-it was quite streaky even with two coats.
On my second attempt with this I picked the color "Wine Stock" which is a deep red. Much more my style. It applied very similar to the first, very streaky. Both colors also seemed a little bumpy as well. Thank goodness for the top coat which was able to smooth everything out. I am no nail polish newb and I found these fairly difficult in application.
The top coat on the other hand wasn't so bad. It reminds me Seche Vite Top Coat. Very shiny and goes on smoothly.
The first picture is right after I applied, the second is after one week, and the third is today-one day shy of being two weeks exactly. I feel like this polish held up perfectly the first week. From the end of week one throughout the second week it completely destroyed.
Over all thoughts: It lasted longer than I thought it would, but it is not a 14 day wear polish like it claims. I would not say it is a replacement for Shellac. The colors I tried were streaky-but that's not to say that all of them are.
If you have issues with polish even lasting a week then you may want to give these a try.
