how to make nail polish stay on?

It seems everyone has given you good answers on the nail polish ....I use to wear acrylic nails all the time. They really damaged my nails. I bought a product called nail envy and it worked really good for a while then it seem to loose its effect. I came across the wonderful nail hardener that I order from a lady in Florida ...I just email her what I want and then I mail her a check and she sends me the polish . I have wonderful nails because of this product. I am going to try and post a picture of them in this link for you . and if you want her email or any information on the product just email me and I will be happy to give it to you.....

Hope this is helpful ~~~

Also it is important to wear a base coat and a top coat but make sure you get a good quality one ...OPI is good.

Use a base coat, two coats of colored polish and a top coat.

May want to try Sally Hansen Hard as Nails which can be found at Walgreens or Target.

May try adding a clear coat of polish every other day.

wipe off the brush part of the applicator before you apply it to your nails. make sure it is not clumpy and goopy. it may be that the nail polish is old and is starting to harden together or that the brand is not good. I use Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color. This brand is very good and the price is reasonable. I reccomend that you use that brand. After you are done it may help to apply a hardening coat/top coat. Make sure the polish is not more that about a year old.

Go to sallys. They make calcium nail polish to help make your nails stronger with out having to drink a lot of milk or whatever. Also if you do go to sallys they sell some top coat polish that works wonders.

Use a clear top coat to make it stay on longer and make it shiney. But make sure you apply it after the original nail polish is completely dry.

Always put a clear coat on over your color coat. That give it an added layer of protection to protect against chipping.

Also, drinking milk is very good for your nails, because of the calcium it contains. There are products you can buy too, but these are not good in the long term, because you'd rather your body produce strong nails on its own rather than depend on a product for strength.

drink milk to make ur nails stronger/longer... put a clear coat over ur nail polish or get some stronger nail polish

Make sure your nails are clean and dry first-no hand lotion or creams. Use a base coat first, 2 coats of polish, and finish with a top coat.

i used to have the EXACT same problem.

i hated it when my nail polish would start chipping

after a day.

but i found a really good base/top coat.

it really keeps your nail polish on.

it's by 'sally hanson'

and is in a aqua blue bottle.

i would tell you what it says on the front,

but i lost it.

[going to have to get some more]

it's the best stuff i've fouund

use top coat. Grow long and strong nails by eating protein.
