how do you keep black nailpolish from chipping?

I was just wanting to know, how do you keep your black nail polish from chipping? Because I keep having to repaint mine and sometimes I dont have time, so I go out with jacked up fingers! Any advice?

Answer #1

Buy a fairly expensive nail polish (sorry, but they are better), put on several thin layers rather than one thick one, waiting a while for one to dry before you put on the next one, and then finish with a coat of clear polish, as the others say. BTW, I know I’m meant to do that but it drives me mad to wait so long, so I don’t wear nail polish that often! But that is the way to make it stay on…

Answer #2

You shouldn’t really be wearing it more than 3-5 days straight without taking it off anyway. You need to let your nails breathe.

I’ve never had problems (with proper application at least). Revlon and Rimmel are great.

Answer #3

Even when I put, like, an undercoat, 4 layers of polish AND a clear overcoat on, they still chip. It drives me nuts, ‘cause black looks really crappy when chipped and it always takes me ages to paint my nails. I think it’s one of life’s great perpetual annoyances.

Answer #4

I don’t know because I don’t put nailpolish :)

Answer #5

I know mine chipps all the time it f**king sucks

Answer #6

put two coats of black and a clear top coat on top =]

Answer #7

Try putting a clear varnish over the top

Answer #8

Beat me to it, kimpippin. :P
