What is a good way to keep nail polish from chipping?

I get my nails done at a salon, but they don't last long before chipping. I don't want fake nails but i want them to last longer. I have tried to apply a clear coat at home when it starts to chip but it comes out horrible and with bubbles sometimes. I don't think it is the nail polish because i know it is a good brand. any ideas?What is a good way to keep nail polish from chipping?
try not to do too much no doing dishes it saturates the nail and makes the paint come off easierWhat is a good way to keep nail polish from chipping?
Good question...you can take this one to the bank. Buff Buff Buff If you buff your nail's before you polish the will look great and last forever. Try it, just get a mild-med buffer from the beauty supply store and after the old polish is off and your nails are clean Buff each nail until you see like a white dust on each nail. Wash once more then apply your polish. You won't need a top coat or finish coat. Enjoy
1. Clean nails with Rubbing Alcohol to free the nails from dirt, oil, lotion, etc...





2. Apply Base Coat





3. Apply 2 coats of Nail Polish





4. Apply 2 coats of a protective chip resistant Top Coat.





5. Reapply Top Coat througout the week





6. After a week remove old nail polish. Repeat steps 1 -5
What you can do is when you paint your nail go and do a 2nd coat and if needed do more then that. Also put on clear nail polish you can get that at walmart and target for cheap prices.








Hope this Helps

Use a sally hanson top coat and let it dry or it will make bubbles and get sticky. It sometimes takes longer to dry than everyday nail polish, or when you get your nails done ask them to put a clear coat over the nail polish.
before you put the color on your applying at the store you can get a clear coat, and put that on before, and then paint your nails, then do it againn and it works for me perfecttt
Put on nail vitamins before doing your nails. You can get it at beauty stores,and it looks like clear nail polish but its not. It worked for me. oh and milk keeps your nails lookin pretty and healthy.
I've heard of this before but if you stick your nail polish in the fridge it's supposed to last longer. (:
When you wash dishes, wear gloves. The dish soap is too harsh for most skin/nails/polish.
Put a top coat on afterwards.
Use a quick dry on top of an anti-chip top coat.
put a clear nail polish top coat
