Ivanka Experiment

 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.

    All is not lost... aren't Zoyas notoriously finicky?
