I saw it in the store today and looooved the Platinum color!

Anyone?

I don't really get how a brand of nail polish could be "good" or "bad". If you like the color, it's good, no?

Good QUALITY.

Could you explain what you consider to be quality in nail polish.

doesn't chip 5 minutes after you put it on

Right, that it doesn't chip quickly, lasts a long time, and also how it spreads - how smoothly it goes on the nail when you paint it on. That's what I look for at least.

i don't know that brand, but is there ANY brand that doesn't start chipping in 5 minutes and lasts a long time??

RH, what's platinum color - silverish?

Yes, platinum is silverish. I’m into that.

But, at this stage in mylife, I gotta have longevity on nail polish. I’m only into extended wear brands.

I guess if no one know, I can be the guinea pig. If I don’t like it, I’ll donate it to the mikvah.

Are you using two coats of nail polish?
Are you storing your nail polish for long periods of time without closing it carefully?

If your hands are in frequent contact with hot water, the polish will chip very rapidly...

Transparent nail polish with sparkles looks OK even if it chips (you can't really tell if it has chipped). (if you're into that kind of nail polish...)

ewww (sorry)

i never found any long-lasting brands (but i'm not buying expensive ones either). what are your experiences?

My experience has been that the quality nail polishes last longer. I’m VERY hard on nail polish, howver.

can you tell me the brands, please?

The brand or the product?

I like OPI, Estee, and Sally Hansen when it's their Extended Wear nail polish. I never wear anything that doesn't say something like Extended Wear, 10-day polish, or some such.

i see. i don't think i had much luck with sally hansen polishes, even extended wear ones... OPI is, i believe, what they use in salons - same chipping on the same/next day...

This stuff isn't iron clad. I hear it wear better on acrylic nails, but i haven't dopne that yet ...

Do you wear gloves when doing laundry/cooking/cleaning ?

no. do women wear gloves when taking a shower every day? i'm looking for a brand that'll withstand all of those (although i do minimal washing dishes). i know, happy looking to me

I might start wearing gloves for showering.

(some days i'm thinking of trying those acrylic nails (french manicure), done in a salon. maybe for the summer. anyone has experience?)

Platinum nail polish is so Dolly Parton Daisy Duke redneck unique...

i AM from the South, you know .....
