Desperately seeking Persistent polish is a series where I wear a nail polish for seven days and take before and after pics to paper the condition of my paws over the course of the week!
As you know, I’m still nursing my slashed Freddy Krueger fingernails from The terrific Gel Debacle of 2018 back to health, which is why I’m feeling Dermelect. They’re a line of polishes created to help heavily damaged, brittle nails.
I haven’t seen or heard a lot about them… I feel like they’ve been on the down-low, but you can find them at Ulta.

Their formula is infused with keratin to strengthen nails, and after spending a week with this gorgeous, foggy lilac gray cream called Tribeca ($14), dare I say that my paws are looking the best they’ve looked in weeks? — especially the ideas of my nails. They’re looking much healthier and stronger.
I normally avoid pastel creams because they chip like crazy on my nails (like, seriously, I’ll normally see big chunks missing at the base within a day). plus — ugh — I’m not into layering the three or often four coats it takes to improve creams up to full opacity. I’d rather spend those precious minutes of my life doing a lot more crucial and pressing things…like enjoying people taking baths with their cats and rapping about it.
Tribeca only chipped a bit, and I only needed two coats!

I’m shocked how well it held up over the course of seven days. For the record, I used the same base and top coat I’ve been using throughout the 7 Days series.
It held up even better than my Smith & Cult rose gold glitter mani a few weeks ago, which had been the best performer in the series so far.

Tribeca is a “do” for me. give it a whirl if you feel like a foggy, moody pastel.
