What is the best chip resistant nail polish?

I'm a mother of 3 and I change diapers, wash dishes, scrub the floor and all kinds of other crap. I get so frustrated with nail polish that chips right off. What are some really good brands?What is the best chip resistant nail polish?
Brands that you can purchase from nail salons and spas (such as OPI, Essie, etc.) are going to last much longer than regular department store brands (such as Maybelline, Sally Hansen, etc.). But there are a couple of things you can do (regardless of polish brand you use) to prevent chipping. If you first apply a ridge-filler polish before the color, it will help extremely, because filling in the ridges of the nail will give the nail a smooth surface and make the polish more resistant to chipping. Ridge-filler is basically a basecoat, but much better in my opinion. Another thing you can do is to apply a topcoat on top of the color, and most topcoats are just fine but I personally prefer to use one that also helps my polish dry quickly; it sounds like with your lifestyle you would also appreciate something like that. Sally Hansen makes a pretty good one. You apply it like a minute or two after you apply your polish, and it dries it in a minute or so.





The following two products I personally use. The first is a ridge-filler, the second is not a topcoat but an ';oil'; that dries your polish almost instantly (seriously), and prevents smudges.

i really love OPI it lasts a long time and almost never chips.





it also comes in amazing colors that are really fun : ]
What works really well for me is OPI nailpolish, but make sure to put on a protective coat after you paint your nails.
