OPI/ Nails Inc / Leighton Denny - which lasts longest?

I'm not a nail varnish wearer and I know ALOT depends on preperation and the correct application.
But which lasts the longest ?

My DD loves all the High Stree nail varnishes which I find don't last (and she changes her nail polish so often as well)

But I'm going away for a week. I'll be swimming, using suncreams etc,

I want to do one manicure/pedicure and hopefully have it last for a week.
I'm a pink/neutral fan, no lairy blue or green or orange for me.

I'd buy a mini bottle and take some remover wipes just in case.

(TKMaxx has special offers sometimes IIRC)

Not Nails Inc, they have some lovely colours but they don't last on me.

I find Essie with a topcoat lasts best.

Leighton Denny chips immediately when I have used it - would never buy it again.

The Rimmel pro lasts well over a week for me.

None of them consistently.
I buy all brands from Nails Inc/Leighton Dernny/Illamasqua, and find they are all hit and miss.
I've had Poundland cheapies last well, and dear ones chip, and the other way round.

top coat

OPI lasts longest on me. Some nails inc colours last well but they're v inconsistent in quality. Essie lasts brilliantly. Not enough experience with LD to know. Nails Inc topcoats make everything last ages.

Get a Shellac on your fingers and toes. It will definitely last the week. Have a great holiday

I've just tried Maybelline Colour Show for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised with how well it's lasted.
