Help my nail polish stay ON!?

I polish my own french manicure on my real nail and the white tip polish starts chipping in no time.





It's the worse when I shower! Heck, I want to get clean and take my shower every night but I'm sick of having to retouch my nails after I shower

Help my nail polish stay ON!?
do it AFTER you shower and get a top coat start doing things more carefully!
Reply:theres a spray you can get at the store and it dries your nails in 2 seconds. spray it 1-2 times and it will protect your nails. also yous a top coat of clear polish.
Reply:File the entire tops of your nails a little 1st. Then apply bottom coat, color, and top coat.
Reply:What i do is paint the tip on, then paint on clear nail polish, let that dry,(sometimes i dip my fingers in ice cold water to help it set better, Then i paint an whitish color over the whole nail so it will blend in, let that dry paint one more color on the tip, let that dry, paint one more coat on to the whole nail with the whitish color, then paint all over with clear nail polish...That usually last me a week then i have to remove it all and start over again.
Reply:top coat
Reply:I put a fresh coat of clear nail polish on mine...if i see a tiny chip before that on the tip, ill put a ot of white polish, before it gets too big
Reply:You need a nail dehydrator spray...it sounds like your nails get oily and soak up excess moisture. You can get the dehydrator from Sally's (if you've ever had nails put on, it's something they put on your nail before they apply the gel or acrylic...it helps the nail hold on). Also, try Orly Bonder rubberized base coat, and a good hard finish top coat (Sally Hanson's Hard as Diamonds is good).
Reply:apply more coats of polish
Reply:coat ur nails a buch of times with clear nail polish, or got to the nail salon and get the "gel fill" on ur nails. it really works! =) what they do is they put gel on ur nails and it drys up (french manicure)
Reply:Make sure that you are not putting the white on too thick. You must also follow up with a clear top coat. Good quality top coat. You can use any polish as long as it is protected. You should make sure that each coat is applied thinly also. Putting it on too heavy will chip the heck out of it.
