"   I&amp;#039;ve previously told you about my affinity for polishing my own nails, so you can imagine that when we set out to test Revlon&amp;#039;s new Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel for the March issue of Good Housekeeping, I was pretty excited. Revlon claims that this new polish, when used along with the line&amp;#039;s base and top coat, will be super shiny and chip-free for up to 11 days.  Needing many hands to make up a valid testing panel, we recruited twenty women to have their nails professionally painted here in our lab by a manicurist. Naturally, we had a lot of willing volunteers! We wanted to compare the performance of Colorstay Longwear against a high standard, we tested it against a quality salon product. Five of each tester&amp;#039;s nails were painted with the new Revlon polish, while the other five were painted with the salon polish. Both polishes were used along with their corresponding base and top coats, and we carefully matched shades of red from the two brands so all the nails would look like they were painted with only one product. The polishes were applied to every other nail so that they were evenly distributed across both hands - that way, frequent use of a dominant hand wouldn&amp;#039;t play into the amount of chipping for either product. We told the panelists to keep the polish on until chipping was so bad it warranted removal.  Every day after the manicure, the testers scored each of their nails for chipping and shine. When testers were ready to remove the polish, they came back to the Beauty Lab so that we could score the ease of removal and check for nail staining. Drum roll please: The results were impressive! While the Revlon polish didn&amp;#039;t quite live up to its claim to stay shiny and resist chipping for 11 days, it did outperform the salon brand for both factors and was easy to apply and remove.   I&amp;#039;ve personally used the product and think it&amp;#039;s fantastic! It&amp;#039;s super shiny, looks professional, and I&amp;#039;m happy that it looked good for a full week, even after all the typing and paperwork. If you try it, just remember to also use the line&amp;#039;s base and top coat. Like all Revlon products, Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel will be widely available at drugstores. Isn&amp;#039;t it great to know we have a new, affordable, top-performing nail product on our hands?   Want to see further inside our testing labs? Take a look here or sign up for a tour!
