So I work at Subway and I really love it. Everything about it is great right now, minus the gloves I have to wear. I have naturally very sweaty handa and the gloves trap heat... and moisture. It makes my nail polish almost steam off. This even happens when I wear diamond top coats or whateber. any solutions to make my nail polish stay? I don't wanna just stop painting my nails.

Also I'm too nervous about fake nails because I've worked very hard to have healthy natural nails and I don't wanna ruin them. So acrylic and gels arent an option. :)

Try putting your nails in cold water when they've dried and after work too if your hands get wet? I don't know if it works but I've read that it does

I wear gel on my nails and my nails are super healthy, long and strong. I do them myself tho and I have naturally strong healthy nails...I think keeping them touched up is one of the only options with regular polish. You could try roughing them up a tad with a super fine grit buffing block and then dehydrating them before polish with 70% alcohol. I know you don't want to damage your nail, but that technique does very little damage in my opinion. I'm no professional, but I've been keeping up with my own manicures for over 10 years and used regular polish around 7. I was a nurse assistant during those 7 years too so I was constantly putting on gloves and washing my hands, so I feel your pain.

The formula fx system works great for me. I clean all day so I use my hands a lot and it lasts about 3-4 days and probably longer if I didn't change the color so much!
