How To Prevent Your Nail Polish From Chipping
Preventing chipped nail polish is important to make your nail polish last long. If you have a nice colour of nail polish, but it always chips off, then this blog is for you.
In some cases the cause of chipped nails could be that your nails are weak or brittle. If this is the case you will need to treat your nails to help them grow stronger. You can do this by applying nail strengtheners to your nails until they grow out into stronger nails. Once you start doing this regularly your nails will have a chance to become stronger and healthier.
At other times the cause may be due to either not applying enough coats of nail polish or not waiting long enough between coats of nail polish. When you apply a coat of nail polish on top of another wet coat, it causes the layers underneath to become thin and weak which can cause them to eventually chip off.
In order to prevent this from happening make sure that you wait enough time between each coat so that it has time to dry thoroughly before you add more layers on top of it. Also if you are using dark colours or very bright colours, make sure you apply at least 2-3 coats so that it becomes nice and thick and
How To Prevent Your Nail Polish From Chipping
Hello there! If you’re like me, you’ll find nothing more annoying than chipped nail polish. It’s so frustrating to see your hard work and effort go to waste. I’ve been researching for a long time about how to stop this from happening and I’ve found some easy steps that have really helped me.
1. Use a base coat. Some people don’t even know what a base coat is or why it’s important! A base coat is the first layer of polish that goes on your nails before the colored polish. It helps prevent the color from chipping and staining your nails, as well as smoothing out any bumps on your nail surface (for example, if you have ridges in your nails). When I don’t use a base coat, I find that my nail polish chips within 2 days – but when I do use one, it can last up to a week before it starts to chip!
2. Pick a good quality color polish. What do I mean by this? Well, not all polishes are created equal! Some nail polishes are better than others. For example, OPI is generally considered to be a higher quality brand than LA Colors (not saying this is

Chipped nail polish is one of life’s most frustrating problems, but it doesn’t have to be. There are many ways to prevent your nail polish from chipping and make your manicure last longer. Many of the methods are easy and quick, making it possible for everyone to follow these tips and tricks!
1. Get a base coat. This will help your nails from being stained by any nail polish you apply, as well as protect the tip of your nails from chipping. If you don’t want to purchase a base coat, you can also use clear nail polish as a substitute! Just paint it on before applying the rest of your manicure.
2. Choose a good quality nail polish. Some polishes last longer than others, even if they are the same brand! I find that my Sally Hansen and OPI polishes tend to last much longer than other brands I have tried in the past (e.g., Essie). I also recommend choosing a thicker formula that won’t wear off easily, rather than thinner formulas which tend to chip more easily.
3. Paint on two thin coats
I’ve tried a lot of different methods and tricks to prevent my nail polish from chipping. I’m around water or using my hands a lot of the time, so keeping my nail polish on longer than a day or two can be difficult.
Here are some suggestions that I use to keep my nail polish on longer:
– Make sure your nails are completely clean before applying any polish. You don’t want to trap anything under the polish that could cause it to chip later.
– Use a base coat and a top coat. The base coat will help your nail color last longer, and the top coat will protect it from chipping and make it shine more.
– Apply thin coats instead of thick coats. A thin coat of polish dries faster than a thick coat, so you’ll be able to apply more thin coats in less time than one thick one. This will also help prevent bubbles in your nail polish, which can weaken your nails and cause them to chip even faster.
The main reason for chips in your nail polish is that the first layer of nail polish isn’t dry yet when you add a second. Another possible reason is when you don’t apply enough nail polish, but that is easy to solve: just apply more!
Choosing colors for your nails can be tricky, but luckily I have some tips on how to find the right colors. The most important thing is to choose colors that suit your skin tone. For example, if you have dark skin choosing a dark color would look better than if you had light skin.
Of course there are no rules on what colors to use, so try out different colors and see what suits you best!
I hope these tips help prevent any chipped nails in the future 🙂
You might be wondering how I know so much about nail polish. Over the past few years, I’ve tested more than 250 nail polishes and become an expert at avoiding chipped nails. In this post, I’ll explain how to make your manicure last longer, and show you my favourite chip-resistant nail polishes.
I have many different nail polish colours. I like to paint my nails with different colours because it makes me happy. I like to match the colour on my nails with the colour of the outfit I wear. It is a lot of fun.
I sometimes wear nail polish to work, but most times I don’t because it is not allowed. At work we have to have natural-looking nails or else we have to take off the polish. Our boss says that customers don’t like employees with colourful nails and that is why he doesn’t let us wear nail polish at work. He says nail polish makes us look unprofessional and less reliable and more likely to steal from customers.
But my nails don’t look very good when they are natural looking, so I like to cover them up with pretty colours even though you can’t see them while they are covered up. It’s just nice knowing they’re there, underneath my skin, waiting for a chance to show their beautiful colours when I’m not working anymore.
