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!

Always put a top coat on your nails. It helps keep them from chipping especially when you wash them- it helps to ensure the life of your nails. Search cutepolish on YOUTube and you can find tons of tips and manicure styles.
As FP girl said, keep them clean and always do a base coat and a top coat of protectant and clear coat plus I use cuticle oil as well. Let me know if it helps! http://www.cutepolish.com has some products as well. Thanks

another tip is to not pick nail polish off because it will ruin the surface of your nails and will chip off easier afterwards. I know this because it is a bad habit for me!

I always chip my nails i cant go a day without them chipping
tryed the top coat and thin layers but ut didnt work. adding a new layer each day i havent tryed but i dont have enough time each day to do it.
sorry spelled some words wrong
how do you get the faces on your words?
base coat
i just painted a thin layer on my nails just a couple of hours a go and they are already chipping. i never messed them up when they were wet either!!!!!!!!!!!
when i paint my nails it never chips off because i do 2 coats of a nice color and then i do 2 more coats of a clear polish.
There’s a kind of salon polish called gel nails. It’s kind of expensive but it lasts forever-exceot that your nails keep growing under it and it starts to look weird. By advice if you don’t want to get expensive is to always top coat and try not to fiddle with your nails.
thanks girl!!! this really helps our a lot cuz my nails are always chipping and it gets on my nerves cuz it costs so much to get them done and they dont even last a week!!!!! BYE GUYS!!!!!!!!!
First paint 1 clear coat then paint the color then another clear coat. for me it stayed for about 1 1/2 or 2 months
I need to try that hey I love this I have been here 3 days and I have 370.97 worth of stuff
