NOTD-Revlon Scandalous & an experiment

I missed out on Facets of Fuchsia when it came out, so I was happy to hear it had been re-released and named Scandalous.  I knew I wanted to get it, but didn't actively go out on a mad hunt for it.  I had stopped at Walgreens one day for a Wet N Wild copper eyeliner and there was one bottle of Scandalous so I snatched it.  It's sort of a transparent black jelly base with LOADS of small purple glitter and larger pieces of purple glitter. I was having trouble picking what I wanted to paint my nails with and kiwimitts2 (aka Kristie) chose Scandalous for me. Thank you Kristie!  Ok, on to the pictures!

This is 2 coats of Scandalous (over my Sally Hansen Double Duty Base Coat and Top Coat).  This is where my experiment comes in. Remember my manicure that lasted 2 weeks?  I really think it had something to do with the Wet N Wild Spoiled polish I had used.  My husband and son both needed chapstick so I ran to CVS this morning and grabbed this-

After the 2 coats of Scandalous had a few minutes to dry I added a layer of Wet N Wild Spoiled in X-Ray Vision, and then applied my Seche Vite.  I'm curious to see if my polish lasts so well again. I would have to say if it does, it's because of the Wet N Wild Spoiled polish.  And they're only $1.99 so how awesome would that be?!  Whatever the results come out to be I will definitely share them.

My 2 week old manicure

On either December 15th or 16th I did my nails. I haven't had to do them again since. I have NEVER had a manicure last this long. I usually get 5 or 6 days out of one and then it's all chippy and time to change it. I'm sure this is just some kind of freak thing, and it will probably never happen again. First, let me show you what products I used.

I always use Sally Hansen Double Duty Stregthening Base and Top Coat as my base coat. Next I applied one coat of Zoya Dove. After that I applied one coat of Wet N Wild Spoiled Shuffle The Deck, and then immediately applied Seche Vite.  And this is what my nails look like today, 2 weeks later.

This is my left hand. You can see I messed up a little on the middle and ring fingers when I applied the top coat, but I have done NO touchups on this in the 2 weeks I've been wearing it.

This is my right hand. Again, no touchups. Taking a picture of your right hand with your left hand when you're right-handed is very interesting!

The only chip that I really have is this one, on the corner of my right thumbnail:

Normally Zoya pretty much just chips right off on me. I'm lucky if I can go 12-24 hours before that happens. For this to last 2 weeks is amazing to me.  Of course with New Year's coming up I want to change my polish to something blingtastic, but I'm curious if I were to leave this on, how long would it be before I HAD to change it?
