Hey all.
I just wanted to share something with you guys that i thought would be helpful.
Just an easy way to avoid nail polish chipping.

Sometimes it can be the cheap ones but that may not always be the case...

Quick tip...before buying nail polish, check the bottle..the good ones have balls, so when you shake them you can hear it clink against the bottle...that helps to prevent the nail polish from clumping.
It's also good to apply a clear polish or the ones for your cuticles before you apply colored polished...that also prevents your nails from turning color when you remove the polish.
Lastly, prevent oxygen from getting into your polish..i,e. seal it tight so that the chemicals won't become weak and your polish won't dry out..

hope it is helpful..

I've never had a problem with my cheapies :] I recommend making sure your nailplates are very clean, swabbing them with acetone before painting, and using a strengthening base coat. :]
