Review: 2X Super Chip Resistance polish life extender

(Press sample ahead!)

Hello!


I have something a little different to show you today, a chip resist product called 2X Super Chip Resistance. You all know I change my polish a lot so don't usually worry too much about chips, but for those occasions when I do need longer wear, I'm always on the lookout for products that can make this happen, so I was very interested to see how this product worked, particularly because it's made by the same man who invented Piggy Polish.

2X Super Chip Resistance

I followed the directions carefully by applying one coat of 2X to my clean nails on my middle finger and my pinkie finger, then put on my polish, then finished with one coat of 2X. On my index and ring finger, I didn't use the 2X, just used my regular base coat and finished with my normal Seche Vite.


I normally get 2-3 days with a polish before I see chips, so I wore the polish for a full six days to try out the full 2X effect.


I got my first chip on day 3, on my pinkie finger--which was one of the fingers that had the 2X. All the rest of the fingers were fine, though, so I waited until day 4 to take my first picture.


Here's how the nails looked on day 4 (I'll post the original mani shortly):

As you can see, the worst chipping is on the pinkie and the second worst chipping is on the middle finger, both of which were fingers I used the 2X on. The index finger also has some wear and chipping starting, although a little less than the middle finger.


Here's what it looked like on day 6:

The chipping on the middle and pinkie fingers--the two that I used 2X on--have major chipping and even some splitting. There is a little more tipwear on the other two nails, but not much.


So, sadly, the 2X didn't work well for me. However, everyone has different body chemistry, and I know lots of people who swear certain brands of polish dry quickly for them while others say the same brand takes forever, so you never know. The card and the website do mention the product is guaranteed, although I couldn't find any information on the website that gives any information about the guarantee (do they refund your full amount, under what circumstances, what about shipping, etc.).


You can find 2X Super Chip Resistance in their online store, here.


Happy polishing!
