I was so excited about how well the Sephora X mani wore on me that I decided to do an experiment using just Sephora X base coat and top coat with another polish brand. I chose Zoya.
This is three coats of Ivanka. I used one coat of Sephora X base underneath and one coat of Sephora X top coat over top.
Ivanka is so unbelievably sparkly and dimensional in person and I'm sad I didn't get pictures of her in the sun. Application was easy.
Well, folks, let's end the suspense now, shall we?! Ivanka chipped within about six hours. ;( By the end of the evening I was peeling it off all too easily. Conclusion? Sephora X base and top coats are not magical enough to extend my normally craptastic wear with Zoya polishes. Perhaps I'll try them again later with another brand.
