because the nail polish has chipped off. I have tried doing a base base coast, then applying one or two layers of nail color and then applying a no chip top coat. But those polishes that say that they are suppose to protect your nail color from chipping doesnt work. Its so annoying having to repaint my nails all the time.

do the base coat, two layers of regular nail polish then a top coat then another top coat then try a chip resistance on top of it all.

Well, I do my nails a lot and the only time I have a chipping problem is if I actually chip the nail polish myself. My advice for you is to put your nail polish on thick and put some clear coat on it after it's done drying. If you put the clear coat on right after, the nail polish will blend in with your clear coat and you can get nasty results. Well, hope I helped you. =)

When you add so many layers the nail polish becomes very thick and it will be easier to peel. I find that just using one coat.. (color) and then some clear nail polish works best.

Here's a tip: don't use base coat that stuff is sh*t. Here's what ya do, put 4 yes 4 layers on; 2 color and 2 top coat(make sure your layers are thin). And make sure you don't have old nail polish on when you put the new stuff on.

Putting a clear protective top coat on top of your polish should do the trick. Many companies make that sort of thing, but I like OPI Nail Envy. It makes my thin nails strong and unbendable, which is definitely a plus.

Sounds like your coats aren't drying properly in between. You have to make sure the first coat is COMPLETELY dry before adding the next. A tip I read one time: to check to see if your polish is dry, touch the tip of your tongue to the nail, if you can taste polish (and you'll know if you can taste it) the nail polish is not dry. This way, you aren't risking a smudge by touching it with your finger.

Are you sure you're drying in between coats? because that's mainly the reason my nails used to chip. Or, you could try adding a clear top coat.

I read an article about applying nail polish to get a lasting application. You may read it here. Hope this helps.

Try a polish called "Rimmel". It is pretty cheap and they sell it at drugstores, Target, etc. Mine usually stays on for a full week+ and I work in an office where I am rummaging through papers etc. I never wear a top coat either.
