Tested: NYC Expert Last Nail Polish in Persistent Putty

During my CVS haul, I picked up this polish b/c 1. it's pretty! and 2. it says it will last for 7 days, so I put it to the test (okay, for 5 days at least).  The polish is two coats for a nice creme finish.  I did not use a base coat or top coat in order to test the actual polish.

Retail: $2.49 for .33 ounces
Availability: Part of the Limited Edition 7 day line by NYC
Color: Persistent Putty (that taupey, purpley in some lights color)
Dupe for: Sally Hansen Commander in Chic (seriously, I had them both ready to buy)
DAY 1
DAY 2
DAY 3
DAY 4
DAY 5
Even with that major chipping by day 5, I would still repurchase this polish b/c I think with a top coat, it could last longer.  I also tend to have a lot of wear on my nails b/c I am at my computer 8 hours a day for work, pounding at keys.  The color payoff is great for drugstore.  The polish could be touched up.  I didn't touch up due to testing.  But for $2.49, I would give the other colors a shot.

  1. I've had $20 polishes that were not that great quality either, so I'd definitely try this out!

  2. I agree! And I was really surprised at the coverage...I was expecting it to take many more coats.

  20. This is another article in my ongoing series of articles helping to increase public awareness of zombie outbreak survival tactics
    and planning. Games that have a rating of 18+ are often very
    violent. Before I hit the Start War button I ask all
    my co-leaders and elders if they have concerns of someone being too inactive during the week or anyone
    saying they would be away for the war.
