how can u make ur nail polish on real nails last?

Question

I'm tired of having to do my nails every 2 days, even if I use a base coat its still the same. Sometimes I'm lazy and just kind've fill in the spots where the polish chipped off lol
.....

ANY good TIPS????

Answer 1

Try using a thin coat of clear hardening enamel, and waiting for that to completely dry. After that use your base coat, then a top coat if you want one and then enamel again. Avoid using too many coats, especially topcoats, because each coat takes a while to actually fully dry, and once you build up a bunch of partially dried coats they chip off in chunks. The rest of the polish is hard to remove with nail polish remover since it's so thick! When I went through my 'only use glittery topcoats over and over to create an irridescent nail' phase, I would do that and the polish would begin chipping almost immediately, starting from my most used fingers (pencils, typing, etc) and then finally my pinkies.

Answer 2

first of all, look for quick dry nail polish, yes use a base coat to protect ur nails, but always apply thin layer same with the nail polish. and they apply something on top like oil or quick dry coat. if the nails polish is thin it will last longer. its chips easily when polish is applied thick and didnt dry well.
