I’ve tried expensive brands and those didn’t work so i decided to try cheep and that didn’t work either. I always do a top coat but it still chips in a day or 2

Hi Georgia! When your nails chip easily it can be frustrating. Here’s a few tips to make your nail polish last longer!

1) Make sure your nails are completely clean. Your skin’s natural oils can cover your nails and cause chipping. To remove these oils use a nail polish remover. We suggest an acetone free one, which is gentler on your nails.

2) Apply a base coat. This will make your color stay longer.

3) Consider a metallic color. The small shiny flakes will allow the polish to stick to your nail better.

4) Paint in THIN layers. A few thin layers will last longer than one or two thick layers.

5) Paint OVER the tip of your nail. This will help prevent your polish from chipping.

6) Add a top coat, and allow for your nails to COMPLETELY dry.

7) Apply a top coat every other day to make your nail polish last!

Hope these tips help!
