Okay, so I've been using NYC or Sally Hansen Hard as Nails nail polish, but its been peeling off really quickly (like a day after I paint my nails). Do you guys have any suggestions to make it stop or other nail polishes under like $5 that don't do that?
I have yet to find a brand that doesn't chip, but putting a clear coat on top really helps it last longer. A sparkle top coat is even better although it's a pain to remove.
Sinful Colors is a good brand. They're only $1.99 and they have a lot of colors. All polishes chip but I haven't had any trouble with their brand with the exception of one color, a dark green called San Francisco. I don't know if I just got a bad batch or that color was just a fail on their part but that's the only negative thing I can say about them. They dry quickly too which is a huge plus for me because I can't sit still lol.

Maybe invest in a better nail polish. They have great nail polishes for $8, which, if you think about it is not that bad. (:

Wet n Wild is supposed to be 3 free and cruelty free. Haven't had it peel more than more expensive polishes. I put an $8 cap on what I will spend
