I can do really cute designs to my nails but 2-3 days later they are a chipped mess! Any top coats/base coats to use? Or any other advice to make it last?

OPI top coat seems to do well. Seche vite has the tendency to shrink the polish and peel off in one strip! Also, use some cuticle oil, it helps keep your cuticles and nail beds moisturized. use after nail polish has dried and apply daily. I use Solar oil and Dr Lewinn's revitanail oil (this one is my favourite)

So far, I've used OPI and Essie's base coat and they work well for me. As for topcoat, I use Seche Vite. To combat the shrinking problem, I make sure to get the tips/ends of my nails too.

I don't know if you've heard of it before, but gel nailpolish lasts 3 weeks I've heard!
