How do i keep Nail Polish on for longer?

I love having painted nails but it always chips within a day of painting them. I use a base coat, two layers of the coloured coat and hen a top coat. I thought it could be because my nails are longish but i dont know. Any suggestions for long lasting nail colour?How do i keep Nail Polish on for longer?
Tip #1: Make sure nails are super clean Natural oils on your nails aid in chipping. Even if your nails are polish-free, apply polish remover to get rid of oils on the surface of nails.





Tip #2: Prep nails with a base coat Polish





Tip #3: Don't lay on the polish too thick Three to four thin coats of polish rather than 2 thick coats will last longer, cut down on drying time and cause fewer changes of bubbles brewing on your nails.





Tip #4: Don't forget the tip When polishing, polish the tip of the nail as well. This helps cut down on nail polish chipping.





Tip #5: Consider a shimmery color. The little particles of sparkle will help polish cling to your nails.





Tip #6: Apply a clear topcoat Topcoat helps extend the life of your manicure. You can use the base coat as a topcoat. Do brush topcoat on and around the edges of nails as well, it's an extra seal against chipping.





Tip #7: Allow proper drying time Make sure you give your nails a good 45 minutes drying time before handling objects. Once dry time is over, submerge nails in cold water then apply lotion. This allows for a slippery surface until nails are completely dry. For pedicures, wrap toes in plastic wrap if you're wearing shoes other than flip-flops or sandals.





Tip #8: Keep topcoat handy To prolong the life of your manicure, apply a topcoat every other day.How do i keep Nail Polish on for longer?
