I purchased the base, color, and top coat from this company to give it a try. The label says it lasts 60% longer with the new formula. It doesn't say longer than what. Thankfully, I picked it up at a local store and was able to get a refund the same week.<br /><br />The base coat goes on a little tacky, which isn't a bad thing. The brush is nice enough and the constancy of the polish is easy to work with. I didn't find it dried very quickly but I applied while watching movie so it didn't bother me. After adding the top coat, I had four coats on total. It was extremely shiny and gave my nail a nice feeling of thickness.<br /><br />If it had stayed that way even for 3 days I would have been happy but the first chips (and I do mean chips along the sides, not tip wear) started about 36 hrs. in and by 48 hrs. I had chips on multiple fingers. I hadn't done anything but basic housework and shopping. No gardening, scrubbing laundry, scouring dishes, or anything harsh on my hands.<br /><br />If you're someone who doesn't have a problem with polish staying on then this would probably be great for you. I have yet to find a base, polish, and top that actually stays put longer than a day and a half so I'm still on the hunt. I do properly prepare my nails so it isn't an application issue. This brand is inexpensive, has pretty colors, and went on almost flawlessly.  If I wanted to have a beautiful set of shiny nails of a wedding the next day, I would use it. I just wouldn't plan on needing the polish on longer than 24 hrs.
