I'm insanely hard on my nails - they're already fragile and prone to peeling and chipping, so my manicures tend to last only about a good 3-4 days before they begin to look haggard. By the end of the week, my nails often look as though I've been in a fight. I've been using the OPI Matte Nail Envy for a while, and my nails are a bit better, but my nail color continues to suffer. So when I spotted the Cover Girl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss (what a name!), I had to give it the 7-day test. Cover Girl promises up to 7 days of glossy color, and each color includes a top coat. Out of the 45(!) shades, I picked Vio-Last, a pretty purple creme. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, and I didn't use a base or top coat.
But will it last for 7 days on my nails? We shall see. I'll be updating next week with my review!
Update: Below are my nails 8 days later, and I'm definitely impressed! Aside from obvious nail growth and tip wear, the color really held up. I'm off to change my color now, but I will be buying more of these Outlast colors. Highly recommend them!
