Hey. I paint my nails all the time, you could say its a hobby! The way to stop it chipping is to put 2+ layers on it with the very top layer a clear top coat. Its that easy! and when you're in the bath/shower it doesnt peel off! x Stephaniie Croniie x x 1 2 y e a r s x x <3333333 x x Hi! I also paint my nails constantly and found that putting on 2 layers with a top coat works well, but even better is to run the newly painted nails under cold water just as the nails are about to be completely dry! It works really well! Hope I helped!

My personal favorite way to extend the life of my manicure is to make sure I...

a. Keep my hands clean (when your hands are cleaner, it will keep you from picking at them as much)
b. Prep my nails with a base coat before I or the manicurist applies the polish. When you have the base coat, the polish will have something better to adhere to that just your blank nails. (My personal favorite it Opi Nail Treatment Start to Finish)
c. Don't lay the polish on too thick. Three to four thin coats of polish rather than 2 thick coats will last longer, cut down on drying time and cause fewer changes of bubbles brewing on your nails.
d. Consider maybe getting a shimmery color. The little particles of sparkle will help polish cling to your nails. e. Apply a clear topcoat. Topcoat helps extend the life of your manicure. You can use the base coat as a topcoat. Do brush topcoat on and around the edges of nails as well, it's an extra seal against chipping.
f. Allow proper drying time. Make sure you give your nails a good 45 minutes drying time before handling objects. Once dry time is over, submerge nails in cold water then apply lotion. This allows for a slippery surface until nails are completely dry. For pedicures, wrap toes in plastic wrap if you're wearing shoes other than flip-flops or sandals.
e. Keep topcoat handy To prolong the life of your manicure, apply a topcoat every other day. (WARNING! When you apply the topcoat every other day, give it at least 5 minutes to try. When you apply the topcoat, it reapplies moisture through all the layers in the nail, and it because easily smude-able again.)

A lot of what causes nail polish to chip is poor application and having oily nails. If you don't have the patience to do it right, go get a manicure.

It's actually a method, rather than a thing. One can efile for an extension for a tax extension over the internet.

Does chlorine damage finger and toenail polish?

Chlorine, because it is a chemical, can fade or chip finger and toe nail polish. To lessen the chance of your nail polish chipping, make sure to apply a clear topcoat before and after you paint your nails. And, once you get out of the pool, dry off your nails with a towel to keep the chlorine from sinking in. Hope this helps!


Which nail polish brand lasts longer without chipping?

I find almost any brand lasts weeks without chipping when I apply the OPI Nail Envy nail strengthener on top. Its pretty much just a hardener, but with the great quality that comes with the OPI name. Also, after removing or before applying nail polish, rubbing some olive oil on your nails naturally strengthens your nails and gives the polish a nice, even surface.


Where can you find a non chipping nail polish?

If you want to find really good quality nail polish that doesn't chip, i recommend OPI there nail polishes are really high quality, the only thing is that OPI nail polishes are quite expensive and have quiet thick brushes which personally, i like but if you have thin nails it can be difficult. these are the best quality nail polish brands OPI Jessie s girl China Glaze BYS Revlon Chi Chi
