I painted my nails on Saturday (2 days ago) and my nails are already chipping like crazy! Considering my polish is Essie, it should be good for the price you pay but this one isn't so good. I put a base coat, two coats of the polish and a top coat and it still chipped. I'm not sure what to do to prevent this, now my nails just look awful 😔 any tips?! By the way, the shade is " leading lady "!

One thing that I do is add a top coat every day. It works for a few days but nail polish is eventually going to chip.

Chipping can also be cause by doing a lot of things with your hands (obviously). So maybe do more things with your left or right hand not with both. If that makes sense.

Hope this helped! 😬😊

Like with anything some brands just work better for some then for others! I have a huge collection of Essie and never have and problem with chipping - But I know many how have problems with many of the essie polishes chipping. I have problem with OPI, which most people love, but they often chip on me!

Also as Qwaserght said some colors are just more likely to chip then other :)

I would expect more from their polish. These days, I cherish every dollar and if I'm going to invest my time, energy and money, I demand more from my polish. I would get a refund.

That's a bummer I honestly HATE painting my nails but I found this awesome polish at the dollar tree it's by LA colors I put the polish on Friday (4 days ago) and it barley started chipping. Since its a nude color it did take 3 coats for it to be opaque but for $1 and barley any chipping that's ok with me lol.

I hate Essie! I've had better luck with Ulta brand nail polish, surprisingly

I would try revlon or Sally Hansen gel polish. It stays amazing.

I've also had a not-so-great experience with Essie
But you should totally try Zoya they have a great formula and a lot of nice colors
I love their matte colors
