Sally Hansen. Even the new instant dry polish stays on me longer than other polishes! And my hands and nails get a lot of abuse at work, I handle a lot of metal and hard, heavy objects!
Longest wearing nail polish?

I swear by OPI with some long-wearing top coat. When I want to have a perfect manicure, I go to the nail salon in Las Vegas that offers manicures with OPI polishes and my nails are perfect for weeks.
Tom Ford. No question. My polish always lasts 2 weeks and I use a Dior topcoat.
Update: I did my nails a couple of days ago and used OPI instead of my usual Sally Hansen. It chipped on the second day! Not badly, but noticeable to me.
I bought some of the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polish and I'm going to try that tonight.
I threw the OPI away...….
I know this is an older thread, but I'm one of those who can't keep polish on for more than 2-3 days before I'm a chipped mess. Recently I've started using Londontown's base & top coats, and I can get a full 5 days out of a mani with only minimal tip wear. For me, that's miraculous, so I'm pretty impressed. I use either the Nail Hardener Base Coat or the Fortifying Ridge Filler, my regular polish of choice, and then the Kur Protective Top Coat. It dries fast (like, Seche Vite fast) and really holds up. I do have several of their polishes as well, but haven't tried those yet.
I just wanted to put this out there in case there are others who may want to give this brand a shot.

Orly Top to Bottom as base, Chanel color and the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top coat, minimum of a week with no chip unless the color is very dark!
I use OPI. Between a base coat and a clear coat, if I'm careful, I can go for two weeks between applications.
