Tips to make nail polish last longer?

My nails always chip from keyboards, any hints to make it last longer?Tips to make nail polish last longer?
Before you do your first base coat of the color- apply a line at the tip of each nail (like a french tip) in the same color you will be using. This gives more strength at the tips of your nails where they are most likely to chip!Tips to make nail polish last longer?
First, and foremost. You must start any manicure with very clean nails. Use polish remover, acetone, or even rubbing alcohol on a nail wipe or cotton ball, and scrub your nails with it. This will remove the excess oils from your nails as well as any dirt or debris from filing and so on. Starting with nails that are oil and dirt free is a great way to make any polish last longer, and not chip off easily. Then, always use a good quality basecoat. Clear polish is not the same thing as a basecoat. A good basecoat will make the polish go on more smoothly, and more important - it will provide a sticky surface for the polish to adhere to. This in itself is another important step to longer lasting polish. Then apply two thin coats of polish and let dry. Finish this off with a topcoat and you will be fine. Reapply topcoat once every few days, but not too often otherwisw it will become too thick and you will have to start all over again. And that really isn't a good thing because polish remover is drying to your nails, and overuse can damage them. So, try to limit the use of polish remover to once a week or less. Oh, and try to a bit more gentle on the ketboard if you can while typing. This will help too, obviously, lol!


Good luck!
put on a base coat before you put the polish on. one its dry, put on the color. when that is dry, but on a top coat(like sally hansens Hard As Nails[available at drugstores], which is made to prevent chipping) Keep them really shiny, and chip-free by putting on the top coat every other day.


Good Luck!!!

Paint all your nails. When it dries, put a second coat. Then when THAT dries, put a clear coat on top. %26amp; Apply a clear top coat each day.
Put clear polish on top so it will be like a shield and keep it on longer.
Apply a coat every other day.


But the first time you color them, put on a top coat.
Apply two coats then a clear top coat
