I paint my nails at night and then by the end of the next day they are all chiped and gross looking. I don't do anything to make them this way. How do i get the nail polish to stay on.

I normally put an extra coat of this nail polish called hard nails. It works for me.

It is probably the nail polish you use. You might want to go to a nail salon and ask them what techniques you can do to keep your nails looking great for more that 24 hours. And while your there get a manicure. I know they use cremes and they put on a nail strengthener after they paint your nails and maybe that works as some sort of way to protect the nails from being easily chipped. Are you doing 2 coats of paint? Because if you aren't that might also be the problem...nail salons apply 2 coats of polish to your nails, and you should do that at home too. I hope I helped you a little! Good Luck!

Nail shield over the paint. The beauty supply places have it. The do have more expensive polish still comes off without nail shield.
Washing hands a lot too makes it come off. Good Luck.

There are some good ways u can do it
1. get a really good professional brand, like the stuff u see at saloons. OPI is my favorite.
2. first apply a base coat (courtesy of OPI for me)
3. apply 1-2 coats of the polish and let it dry.
4. put on the quick dry topcoat (can u guess what brand, lol) and let it dry well
5. good to go!!
good luck

Get a good topcoat, it protects the color. Use a base coat (clear), two coats of color, and one thick top coat to protect your nails. Be sure to let nails dry completely between coats or you'll end up with a goopy mess that wont dry.
