polish chipping

[miriam]

How do I prevent polish from chipping and cracking on natural nails. I use a clear base and then put two coats of polish and a top coat of sally hansen and after a day it starts chipping. Thanks Miriam

i've found the attitude base coat to be good, it dries matt to help the polish to adhere to either enhancements or natural nail. i then do 2 coats of the colour, and then i use toma 45 second top coat. imo the toma top coat is fab, and has a fab shine to it too!:green:


also advise all natural nail clients who have polish to oil daily and to apply a thin layer of a top coat every couple of days, which helps to reseal as such, the varnish in.

but i suppose the problem is with natural nails, they are, clearly, a lot more flexable than enhancements, so if one gets slightly bent it will of course cause the varnish to chip. so isuppose a coat of toughen up, or a similar natural nail hardener/strengthener, might be advisable.

i know that rimmel do a lycra affect varnish which i beleive is for this sort of problem. surley there must be a proffessional varnish line which has a similar affect. hmm or is the whole lycra thing just a cunnung advertising ploy?:|

I use Orly and have never experienced any problems infact my polish stays on upwards of two weeks, my clients love me for this, it tends to grow off before chipping.

I use Creative polishes.. with Stickey base coat, two coats of polish and Super Shiney or Out the Door top coat..
I always 'squeak' the nails with polish remover or scrubfresh prior to application of base coat...
Creative polishes last fabulously, my clients normally come back in two weeks for fresh polish.
