Rockin' Rockette was one of the first two colors I bought from Orly's holiday collection this year (Meet Me Under the Mistletoe was the other). It's a deep red packed with gold shimmer, but the gold is veiled behind the red so it's not too blingy for me to wear to customer meetings. The gold doesn't stay veiled if you wipe the polish with acetone, though, as I discovered when I got a bit too aggressive with my clean up brush; you can see that in the third photo below. My bottle of this is labeled "Rockin' Rocket"; I guess that's a typo or they ran out of room (but they fit "Meet Me Under the Mistletoe" on that bottle) because the display and the Orly website both say "Rockette", which makes a lot more sense than "Rocket" for a holiday collection.
Because I was super busy at work, I didn't change my color midweek, so I wore this for six days with no touchups. I didn't get my first chip until that 6th day, but I did have noticeable (to me, anyway) tipwear. I used two coats over basecoat (Sally Hansen Nail Quencher and Salon Sciences Instant Artificials) and under topcoat (Sally Hansen Insta Dri Anti Chip).

Edited to add this picture taken on Day 6:
My index finger may look like it had no tipwear, but that's because I had to file that nail a bit after it finger collided with an immovable object which took a chunk out of it.
