Things that spring to mind, other than the quality of the nail polish...
Are you squeaking the nails adequately?
And are you capping the free edge with polish?
I personally find that my polish doesn't stay on very long (on myself) but my clients normally get about a week out of a manicure

I use OPI products and love their Bondaid which balance the PH of the nail, making the polish adhere better therefore it last longer!!

I'm almost ready to take my VTCT pedi assessment> I was surprised and thrilled that 3 of my case studies have come back after 5 weeks with the polish on their toes that I had put on! It's such a shame that hands don't last as long, isn't it?
