Am I crazy, or do pink/red OPI polishes chip faster than purple/blue?

Misc. Question

I prepare my nails the same way every time. Wipe with acetone, work on my cuticles, then use a base coat of Sally Hansen Hardener.

I always wait about 10 minutes in between coats and top with Essie Speed Setter.

I have consistently noticed that when wearing a warm toned shade from OPI, it chips in 2-3 days. A cool toned purple or blue will chip in about 5-6 days.

Has anyone else noticed this?
