Getting nail polish to stay on???

Hope it is ok to post here...didn't see a Nail Care section. Please help me avoid putting acrylics back on! My natural nails are doing great, but when I put colored nail polish on, it always chips (in less than a day!).

Has anyone discovered a HG product that helps keep polish on for at least a few days??

Looking forward to your suggestions

OPI's base coat is so good, that it keep on the nail polish on mya nail for more than a week, and I do some havey work with my hand...

And what are you using for a top coat? I always thought it was the topcoat that kept the polish on, not the basecoat. Is this wrong?

Both work that way. If i'm not mistaken, OPI has also a top coat (and there's a product that is a base and a top coat)

I second the base coat and the top coat!

Sally Hansen Double Duty top & base coat is really good...

Sally Hansen top coat is great

I use Seche Vite fast dry top coat ( Walgreens, Sally Beauty Supply, Beauty Express/Trade Secret). It leaves a high gloss shine and keeps my nail polish from shipping for at least week. It works best if you apply it to wet polish.

For base coat I am using OPI nail envy--just to get my nails stronger--but to keep polish on I would suggest Creative Nail Design 'Stickey' (Trade Secret/Beauty Express) or Orly Bonder (available at Sallys) HTH!
